With an early affinity for the ethereal and spiritually inclined musics of the world, from both live performance as well as electronic composers/producers, I've grown much deeper towards the world-beat, chill, dub, ambient, trance, electro, tribal, new-age origins and fusions in recent years.

ALSO LOVE :
Candles, insence, yoga & meditation, painting to music, sunsets, stargazing, camping, canoeing, nature, mountain climbing & hiking (~*~ whoa ~*~ the Canadian rockies), outdoor summer festivals, biking, art museums & galleries, visual arts & multi-media, reading inspirational non-fiction, music/artist biographies & news, tabogganing with friends on bouncy rubber tires, cultural events and adventures - travelling to out of the way countries (century old temples, cathedrals, palaces, castles, ruins), motorbikes, comedy, photography, dance, indepth conversations on philosophy, mysticism, psychology & spirituality, research on anything and everything that interests me (cause I'm always thirsty for more information), really spicy food, Tam-Tam Sundays, my 2 cats, hot tubs, fireplaces, edible massage oils, huge lips to nibble on, tribal tattoos, doobage on weekends, long hours of creative lovemaking... and I could go on, but I'd be revealing a little too much.
As far as film ? documentaries, original, independent, underground : well-thought and make one think, spectacular nature and/or stunning cinematography, unique perspectives, well-edited, produced, directed, acted, and somewhat r.e.a.l.i.s.t.i.c., even when dealing with the paranormal or unexplained - don't much like the fluffy, big-budget, Hollywood stuff.
In general, I love surprises ! and am very curious by nature... so as far as books, arts, dance, theatre, photography, multimedia, music, etc., I prefer the unpredictable, they must be unique, reflective, have much depth & texture & take me somewhere... as music does :)
