I was visited by Frida Kahlo in a dream one night. We drank coffee and smoked "faros," non filtered cigarettes. I woke up the next day trilingual, speaking Spanish, English, and Spanglish. Very Twilight Zone. Since then I drink coffee at night, not in the morning. My favorite past time is hanging at Jon and Javier's apartment with our motley crew-drinking, smoking, listening to-hip hop, house, Capoeira music, or the occasional Madonna and Mimi (Mariah) for laughs, dancing in their hot living room/disco room, laughing loud at hell at the kitchen table, smoking blunts, and then making our way to the roof top to cool off. It's all love.

I'm usually attracted to folks who are creative or politically conscious, or a combination of the two. My crew is very crafty at creating scandalous alter ego characters of eachother, with inventive and vulgar fictional stories. I like folks who know this craft and understand what it means to say, "You're a mess!"
