Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up)
My plans are not based around what will happen when I grow up. Who knows when that will be and I am not going to sit around waiting for it. In the meantime I have things to do in my childhood.
My overall plan is to learn and experience as much as I can. To live the life that I preach, that I believe should be lived. To make the world a better place then it was when I found it.

U2, Sublime, The Beatles, Conjure One, Michael Franti, Zap Mama, Rob Dougan, The Gotan Project, Charanga Cakewalk, E.S. Posthumus, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Pink Floyd, Lisa Gerrard, Regina Spektor, The Moldy Peaches, t.A.T.u., Matisyahu, Santana... the list goes on.

Do you think these pants make my butt look too big?
can you really handle the truth? why are you so concerned about your physical appearance anyways? Have people look at your eyes, rather then your ass.

Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?
I've never even heard of Marmite or Vegemite.
