What am I not interested in? This section is too vague and I don't want to get too vivid for the sake of time! In terms of immediacy and to see what has become my daily ritual, visit www.ted.com it's brilliant.
Music
Trance, electronica, ambient, Duncan Sheik, Dixie Chicks, Cocteau Twins, Enya, Sarah McChlachan, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, John Lennon and a lot of older music.
Movies
Pan's Labyrinth, Contact, Pride and Prejudice (2006), Into The Wild, Amadeus, Blade Runner, Hannah And Her Sisters, Heat, Chinatown, Gone With The Wind, Kill Bill 2, As Good As It Gets, La Dolace Vita, Moonstruck, Thelma and Louise, some Marilyn Monroe movies, Breakfast at Tiffanys, Kubrick's "2001" and the list goes on. I tend to watch more documentaries than I do movies.
Television
animal planet and Discovery. I like the 60s show "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Allo Allo" and the 80s/90s show "Unsolved Mysteries". One of my all time favorite TV shows is Twin Peaks. I don't own a tv because it is mind polluting and the other reason is that time is just so fleeting.

About me:
Wasn't andy warhol right when he said everybody in the future will be famous for fifteen minutes? some wise friends of mine suggested i make a myspace page for my art. So here is my 15 mins. I tend to say as much as I can in hopes of uttering anything meaningful. And being slightly nondescript is akin to being random, so let's despite my coyness and start the randomness! i attended uofa for studio art where i procured my inner postmodernist sensibility and I’m tempted to apply for graduate school. If you're curious and want to know why i create paintings the way i do, just go to my official website. i'm almost a typical gemini. ya know, fun loving, empathic, benevolent, satirical, goofy, great sense of humor, easily liked, gets bored easily, impassive, and young at heart with the exception of not being two-faced, multi-personality afflicted, or contrary. i crave and value my independence and i’m very free spirited. what might be boring for me one week might be fascinating for me the next, and vise versa. i am the type who is fascinated and curious about the many facets of life that help bring me a lot closer to the truth; paradoxically, science and metaphysics both explain what the other cannot. i think our consciousness is illusory and it can also seduce our sense perceptions that makeup our grasp on the material world to appear to be the be all and end all and this isn't an esoteric realization. there are things we can’t do except while being in a physical body--just as there are also things we can’t do except while being outside the body (the cycle of birth/death, etc.) i could go on and on about why life is deliberately ephemeral and why you’re not just your physical body but you're not here for another random learning experience, so i'll refrain from going on too much. i believe that once a person can grasp the abstraction of 'being more than just their physical body,' the universe conspires in your pursuit in wanting to learn more and true enlightenment ensues; i hope to learn a lot while "leasing" my body! suffice it to say, i consider everyone to be a spirit having a physical experience. everyday my perspectives change and they could be measured in millimeters or milestones and i'm usually conscientious of becoming a better version of the person i was yesterday. i expect a lot from myself and i definitely do not put myself on any pedestal. and yet, having said that, i wouldn't want to be anyone else other than who i am.
