    the funky hippy viNtaGe!'s Interests
Generalmusic, mixing tea and potions (aromatherapy potions), good coffee, organic food, cool hangs, stimulating conversation, self-discovery, laughing, hangin' with g-boy, simplicity, writing, playing (music), collecting, dispersing, checking out big piles of books, music and movies from the library, reading Bukowsky, going to bed late, sleeping in...
Music5/4 The other side of Godsmack

Trip-hop! Massive Attack, Urban Species, Boards of Canada, Groove Armada, Zero 7...

Select blues and jazz (particularly blues!): Buddy Guy, Champion Jack Dupree, Miles Davis... Right now I'm streaming a sweet Latino station.

Except for new (meaning the last 3 or 4 decades) Country, I enjoy tasting any new (to my ears) music and rediscovering older favorites, and I still enjoy lots of rock, metal and alternative.

MoviesIndie films. Lately I've been intrigued by a string of Iranian-directed films. Exotic travel films. The BBC's Planet Earth was pretty amazing. I don't do blatant violence, war, suspense or horror flix.

Wassup Rockers
The Princess Bride
Matrix (the first)
The Goonies

TelevisionHow 'bout websites worth checking out:

Books5/4 lots of Bukowski

3/4/08 Life is all about waking up. These books may help. It'll take me a bit to compile the list but here's a start:

Diet for a New America, The Food Revolution and Reclaiming Your Health by John Robbins

Osho, Courage: the Joy of Living Dangerously is a good one to start. He's got l-o-t-s of published stuff.

SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life, Steven G. Pratt

Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About, Kevin Trudeau; Kevin gets a lot of flack (primarily from Western Medicine-associated critics) but he makes a lot of good points on how invested the Healthcare Industry is in being "the only" solution to "safe and responsible" healthcare...backed, of course, by the Pharmaceutical, Meat & Dairy, Tobacco, Alcohol, Pesticide/Herbicide, Cosmetic Industries...and other similar "make-money-regardless-of-cost" corporate industries.

Quantum Healing, Deepak Chopra
The Power of Intention, Wayne Dyer

Anything by Arundhati Roy

A friend turned me on to Charles Bukowksi so I'm currently submerged in a couple of his books...a short novel and a book of poetry (very cool metering style).
