Identifying people as fashion do's or don'ts, writing, drawing, smoking my pipe, listening to music, and eating.
Music
I am versatile, ask me if I heard it, and if I haven't, I will certainly check it out.
My tastes always seem to fluctuate though.
Most stable staples in my collection (never traded-in CDs) are:
RBL Posse; E-40; The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs; Joy Division; Ibrahim Ferrer; Andre Nickatina; B-Legit; Tiger Army; The Cramps; The Isley Brothers, Mos Def, Outkast, The Cure; Depeche Mode; The Smiths; System of a Down; Old School Freestyle; Old School Rap (remember MC SHY D? LA Dream Team? chu memmmmber, ey!!) and the best band in the whole fucking world: TOOL.
Movies
Goodfellas, Duke of Earl, Blood In/Blood Out, American Me, Boulevard Nights, The Godfather parts I & II (trey sucked), Boyz In Tha Hood, Friday, Menace II Society, CRYBABY, Hairspray, Pecker, A Dirty Shame, Grandma's Boy, The Goonies, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Ghost World, Stir of Echoes, The Sixth Sense, Ray, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The Devil's Rejects, Dirty Dancing, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Faster Pussycat Kill Kill, Breakin' (the first one, not Electric Bugaloo), Krush Groove, Beat Street, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Valley Girl, and Ass Blasters Vol 18 (PSYCH!!).
I am sure there is more, but I can't think of them right now...
Television
Six Feet Under, but that's not on any more. True crime and forensic stuff mostly, otherwise I am reading a book.
Books
Squee! by Jhonen Vasquez, Diary of a Teenage Girl by Phobe Gloeckner, Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star by Jenna Jameson (my hero), The Thirteen Senses by Victor Villasenor, The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan, anything by Richard Matheson or VICE.
Heroes
My sister Jen, my Grandfather, my father-in-law, and children who have the resilience to be cool & play w/someone after they just scrapped on the playground.
and these other various folks who don't mean shit to you:
Darryl, John & Richard.
About me: a little chunky but funky, yes dere is some mo bounce to the ounce going on up here. But its aiight tho 'cause chu could rest a 40 oz on dis ass right herre. Gurrrrl, you don't wanna know about me, okaaaaay. I be representin' that south side SJC, Seven Trees foo. What, WHUT??? And boy, please. Hella niggahs be wantin' to feel up on MY ASS.... Just kidding.... I am married, mother of 2 children, and work in public service. I am loud, love to laugh, and love to make people laugh. I am a joker, and a midnight toker. I am latina and native american w/the complexion of an Italian, the eyes of a filipina, and the ass/thighs of a ghetto princess (thoroughbred, according to my man). I never forget where I came from, because I still live in that damn ghetto. I keeps it real. Oh, and I am also a stifled artist caged in an IKEA cubicle.
Who I'd like to meet: No one really. But if you must, send me a message first to avoid auto-deletion.
