CURRENT MISSION

Finish my dissertation. Make something pop off.

ABOUT ME

I've done lots a things but none of them very well. I hope to change that as I get older but only time will tell. I'm a person of extremes and don't do well with moderation, but that keeps things brisk. I like doing things more than having things. And I probably like thinking things more than doing them. I guess that makes me a contemplative person but I'm no ascetic. I love the fullness of life and enjoy the most of other people.

PHILOSOPHY

We need a better world.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just meeting people. I haven't done much with couchsurfing in a long time, after having used it extensively for a long time. Perhaps its time to get back to it.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Hmmmmm, Hard. Lets say I have very eclectic taste, but also, let it be said that it is not eclectic for the sake of being eclectic. The number 1 prerequisite for music is that it has to be good and it must make you FEEL. So it is basically Hip Hop and Jazz, with a little of rock thrown in for good measure. No particular order- Coldplay, Prince, N.E.R.D, Mos Def, Miles davis, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sarah Vaughn, Nina Simone, Beck, Jill Scott, The Beatles, Sade, Digable Planets, poor righteous teachers, White Stripes, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Kweli, Common, Gil-Scott Heron, Public Enemy, John Legend, Kanye West,John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Norah Jones, Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Mos Def, Thelonious Monk, Parliament , Miles Davis, Jay-Z, Ben Folds, Goodie mob, 8 ball & mjg, the The bands are hot,geto boys, kenna, Typical cats... biatch, Nas. Rage Against the Machine, JIMI as in hendrix. Gnarls Barkley. Now this one is REALLY HARD. I love film. These require the same as music but it takes it one step further. It must make you FEEL and THINK. So with that i will say ......, City of God, Malcolm X, She's got to have it, Do the right thing, He got game, Bamboozled, The usual Suspects, Imitation of life, Dead poet's society, Guess who's coming to dinner?, West Side Story. how about some comtemporary works like... CRASH, and Kung Fu Hustle, Oceans twelve, Snatch, Talk to her, Jump Tomarrow, V FOR VENDETTA
