[ passions ]

two weeks ago, I believe (I can't be fully tusted on that. Memory really is the first thing to when you get older, isn't it?) I was talking with ollie and alicia, and they were asking about my passions. It has come to my attention that my current season of "blah" is being rejected. People in my life want to see that spark again. They want some kind of evidence that there's life in these amazingly dreamy brown eyes.

There are many things that I love to do. Outside of my ocd-esque love of watching infomercials and nabbing such life saving essentials as the "sham-wow", I enjoy a bevy of different things. (I threw in that word to help me feel better about being in so much school related debt.)

I LOVE music! Want to get me engaged in a spirited conversation? Ask me something about music. I could rant on and on about my favorite artists, or about why a certain genre has changed my life (and could change yours if you'd finally just give it a try). I can give you a soliloquy about the joys of a perfectly blended mood/music cocktail and finding the right r&b chaser to those stiff pop shots. We can discuss the current state of hip-hop and how the soul of the music has been compromised. I love it all!

I also love tech stuff! I'd love to be one of those peeps who get to test the latest and greatest additions to our everyday lives. Maybe I should just sign up to work at cnet right now! Computers, cell phones, web browsers, random knickck knacks. They all make me happy. In particular I'm very passionate about Google, or as I like to call them, the poor man's apple. I've had many lively debates about my feelings for what they do for all of us. (seriously, google sync changed my life. Ask me about it). Even the new media darling/devil, the dual faced microblogging/annoying tool, Twitter is a strong interest of mine :)

People, I think, will always make me happy. I love just chillin' with a good friend, Whether we're just chattin' it up or planning out our plan of attack for getting on America's best dance crew. Friends make my heart beat fast. I love spending an afternoon with some of my closest friends, or even a new friend. (the pace of my life right now, does not allow for too much human interaction with said friends. Not to worry, all this shall be changing soon)

Lastly, I love writing. Something about getting one's thoughts down on paper is just soo liberating! Now, this can be a pretty isolating activity too. It can be misconstrued (english degree payin' dividends, baby) as an anti-social activity, writing can be a tool of bringing people together. I love hearing the rapid exchange of ideas between friends, or in a bigger open mic/poetry slam type environment.

I love lots of things! (redundantly stated, I know). It seems the current pace of my life has stunted some of these passions. Change is on the horizon my friends! I shall be getting things back under control quickly. I'm growing a little keen on my new surroundings (sacramento love?) and I shall be shedding these rough external layers and showing the inner beauty of my true self!

Here's to the coming out party!

I'm out...
