Studying consciousness, mysticism, quantum physics, the interwebs, and living freely and as wildly as possible.
Music
Everything... everything. I collect music from all over the world, every style. But, of course, VNV Nation, early Pink Floyd, Gentleman Reg, and Romany music is really the ticket. Oh, and let's not forget Beethoven.
Movies

Books

Heroes
Too many to list, but let's put it this way: the person who stops to notice beauty, the person who is willing to risk anything to expose injustice, the person who seeks to bring attention to the forgotten, the person willing to travel far and wide to experience the great expanse of the world, the person who finds peace in the illogical, and the person who chooses to be fully (and, sometimes, foolishly) present in the world. Oh, and my Godson is most definitely a hero, too.

Who I'd like to meet: Anyone, anywhere at anytime. Sure, I have my icons, but I prefer the company and stories of those who are living in the world, and those who are daring enough to choose their own experience of It-All in their own impossibly beautiful ways.
Hey you! Sooo glad we are re-connecting. I will be waiting for whenever you can blow back through Newark...can't wait for you to meet the family. Love...lirija.
