I like sci-fi, action, thrillers, comedy. I'm pretty easy with the movies.

Alternative, zydeco, ska, reggae, electronica, blues, rockabilly, trance, meditation, Native American, Celtic and lots more that don't fit in catagories.

I'm reading Stuart Wilde, he's a trip. Ishmael's a great book my daughter turned me on to. A lot of how tos for my hobby of the moment, self helpers, spiritual books.

Wood and soapstone carving, bead weaving, weaving, knitting, crocheting, drawing is my latest passion. See my drawings at http://mysspace.com/pllipp Hiking, camping, cookouts. It's not a hobby but I like sweat lodges and I've done two firewalks. Finding new and unusual music.

I'm 55, have two beautiful daughters and a beautiful granddaughter who will turn 18 the same month I go up another year. This is a beautiful world and I love exploring it. Music takes me to the places I can't get to for whatever reason. I like to talk and play cards with my friends from work. I like to do cookouts and have all night talks with my daughter and soninlaw and their friends. I like staying home with my furry babies. They're the greatest.

Love and acceptance of everyone and everything. We're all on this trip together and we're all connected. Being with my daughter and her friends. Spirituality. Nature. Music, except opera. Rocks and minerals, hunting for rocks and minerals; fossils, too. Walking the beach and collecting shells. My cats - all six of them.

Cruelty, snobbery, intolerance, gossip, war
