PHILOSOPHY

"El sol se levanta manhana, y quien sabe lo que traera la marea."

"To accomplish great things, you must not only act but also dream, not only dream but also believe."-Anatole France

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds." -Einstein

I am enthusiastically involved in immersing myself in culture. Understanding and compassion is where it all begins.

La comprensión y la compasión es donde todo comienza.

Музыка, кино и книги

I love magic realism, esp. Bombal and Marquez. I am madly in love with Jose Marti and have a thing for revolutionaries of all eras (present included). The long list of beloved authors would be better discussed.

I enjoy solid musicians, people who are into the music and the way it moves them.

TVs make excellent flower pots ;)

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Going to high school with kids my age (15 at the time,) who had lived through the Velvet Revolution (Czech Rep.).

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I am a vocalist by passion and also by training and would love to sing with you, jam with you, whatever. I also adore cooking and can help in the North Western Mexican pueblo-style cooking and also with Mexicali type dishes. I was raised with a Japanese family and I can cook a few Japanese things as well as some Indian dishes. Other than that, I can make something tasty out of almost anything.
