I enjoy playing my guitar to down and dirty Elvis songs, composing a few simple songs, and playing other easy stuff. I enjoy getting there, staying here, and the journey. I love mechanical design engineering using NX Unigraphics. I am a Chicano poet and enjoy going to open mics to listen to others and read my own poetry, which just keeps flowing. I'm glad to say I've accomplished my goal of seeking knowledge AND wisdom. Seeking them is second nature to me now. Of course, being that I live in two worlds at once, I'm also living in a state of certainty. Where all that is necessary is known. So, I guess the statement is: I constantly seek knowledge and wisdom because I trully know all truth. That is to say, I know nothing, and everything. Enlightenment, Darkness. Ying, Yang. Laurel, Hardy. - People I would like to have met (time machine might be necessary) and have had a sit down, personal, uninterrupted chat with are: Muhammad Ali, Mark Twain, Bill Clinton, Arundhati Roy, President Barak Hussein Obama, Werner Herzog, Woody Allen, George Carlin, Paul McCartney, Albert Einstein, and more. If I had to choose one to chat with, it would be Ali. The reason is that I have a very high regard for courage combined with the deep rooted undertone of positive energy that he has reflected throughout his entire life. As a youth he helped me see there are many that just, simply cannot, and will never, understand. Hence the need for courage. - Some musical favorites: Led Zepelin, Rage Against The Machine, Elvis, James Brown, Kathleen Hanna, 70's disco, Classical (JSB, Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff,etc), Duffy, Kid Rock, Beyonce, Natalia Lafourcade, Kimbra, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Lennon, Aerosmith, Juanes, Nirvana, Ozzy Osbourne, Smokey Robinson, ZZ Top, Tom Jones, Bob Dylan, Jose-Jose, Jimmy Hendrix, Cream, opera (The Magic Flute is a favorite), and the list goes on. - I like strange movies: A Waking Life, Fish Story (a Punk Rock song-saves-the-Earth, deep Japanese film), Naked Lunch, Happy Here And Now, Bubba Ho-Tep, The Last Big Thing, Shadows & Fog, Hecho En México, Groundhog Day, Whatever Works, The Man From Earth, The Sunset Limited, Der Himmel über Berlin.
Normal movies I liked: The Matrix, Star Trek, Bread & Tulips, Dumb & Dumber, Bewitched, Land of the Lost, Mars Attacks, Braveheart, Anchorman, The Wedding Ringer.
