Interests News, geopolitics, and, pop culture (though I profess a significant lack of knowledge in the last category).
Favorite Movies The art of the moving picture makes it hard to have just one. Here are a couple though...Amores Perros, Welcome to Sarajevo, and the documentary Harvest of Shame.
Favorite Music Blues, folk, soul, classical, rap
Favorite Books You name it..Gore Vidal, Ernest Hemingway and Richard Wright are a few that come to mind immediately.

Why don't you ever wear a scarf? It doesn't need to be cold outside for your neck to feel naked.

Actually, I do wear scarfs...but only in the Winter. Who writes these questions anyway?
