Yes, me too.

- barry bonds:
I don't care that he's not the most approachable, outgoing guy in the MLB. I don't care about all the "did he" or "didn't he" hysteria. All I know is that I am ever so thankful that I've been present to experience the undeniable electricity of watching him step up to bat, and the outright mayhem when the ball goes long (again). - community:
Without it, we are alone. The one silver lining out of this whole Katrina mess is that people who might never volunteer normally are actually helping out, communities are pulling together to help their own and then looking to see who else they can help. (And it's a good thing too, since there seems to be a big fuckup with relief at the top.) - emergency medicine:
Once a medic, always a medic. :-) - geeks:
I was born geeky, and in the 41 years since then I have fought bitterly with my geekiness, then began to begrudgingly accept it. Eventually I came to embrace my undeniable geekiness as I realized that "all the freaky people make the beauty of the world" (Michael Franti).
Most geeks have a lot of shared experiences in this regard, and I feel more understanding and acceptance for who I am among geeks than anywhere else. - homies:
I grew up in a barrio town five minutes from the notorious side of Long Beach and ten minutes from good old Compton. I didn't leave until I was 18 and joining the Army. I grew up with little homies and chicas, their families, and their culture as much as my own Filipino culture -- I didn't learn until a few years ago how far back our cultures are intertwined, which is why it all felt so "right".
Oh, and homies and papis are just fucking HOT. - massive attack:
My textbook definition of "trip-hop" and a constant musical touchstone for me. Massive Attack quite possibly opened the door to the musical direction I've been pursuing in recent years. I don't think I've played Mezzanine for anyone didn't want a copy for themselves like, immediately. (This includes my 70-something year old father.) - non-monogamy:
I've experienced a whole lot of different kinds of relationships in my life, and one glaringly obvious thing that has emerged is that I cannot be "possessed" or "owned" by anyone in any way, shape or form. It's not about not being able to be "faithful" or whatever; it is at least partially because I don't believe in a relationship model where two people are supposed to be everything to each other forever.
I think I am happiest when I have a harmonious home environment with someone who's more of a solid PARTNER. Love and sex, that comes and goes but true solid partnership is really fucking rare. - regular guys:
Regular guys are hot (to me) because they usually don't think of themselves as hot (no "hot guy" attitude). "Regular guys" (for the purposes of this entry) are guys who:
- are usually pretty average or less in looks and build (no super hotties!)
- probably spend 5 minutes or less in front of a mirror in the morning
- generally don't care about clothing labels, unless it's a sports brand or team
- dress primarily for comfort and functionality, not fashion
- blends in well with other regular guys
Favorite places for regular guy cruising: SF Giants games, construction sites, sports bars - spirituality:
Spirituality is one of the few things in my life that is so personal I rarely talk about it. :-) I have studied many belief systems, cultures, and the words of humans quietly all my life and my own spirituality -- still evolving -- is the distilled gleanings from those journeys. - water:
Water is my truly my element, for more reasons than I can comfortably articulate here. ;-) Somewhere around the core of it is my birth astrology. My Western birth sign is Pisces (the fish), a water sign. My natal chart is very heavily weighted with water and earth. In Chinese astrology, I am a wood dragon (only water dragons are more chill, but we're still dragons).
