I love finding a reason to get all dressed up. I can breakdance in a suit like nobody else. Bring the disco fever.

13-inch MacBook Pro, please

2010-02-23T13:07:51-06:00

A new MacBook Pro is at the top of my wish list. I've been using this one for almost 4 years and it crashes 6 times a day because the motherboard's dying. Every day, I'm tempted to go on Apple's web site, apply for financing, and pay the $40/month for the little thing.

I'm most interested in the 13" MacBook Pro. It's little, compact, has both FireWire and USB (so I can DJ all over the place), and goes really fast.

I wish I could get a new location, location, location

I work in San Francisco. I live in the Valley, because my house is big and it's really cheap. I'd either shift my job southward or teleport my house to Menlo Park or San Mateo.

Never finished "Blueheart"

Got distracted by other things. I bought this book in 2000. One of these days, I'll finish reading it. I'll probably have to start over again first.

How I'd spend $1,000

One Pendlay CrossFit barbell and 370 pounds of bumper plates. Three more kettlebells (72 lb, 53 lb, and 35 lb). One 20 lb medicine ball. One movable power rack. One bench. One large stopwatch timer with huge red letters. That should polish off $1000 pretty easily.

Why my hip-hop posse would include Jay Def

Jay Def
He ain't here yet, but he's had my back for 30 years.

I ain't Mr. Rogers

I change for a little while when I do my workout. I put on a pair of shorts, a shirt, my heart rate monitor strap, and my gloves. 3, 2, 1 Go.

Three overplayed songs I love anyway

Fields of Gold by Eva Cassidy

Such an amazing voice, so tragically silenced in the prime of her life.

Destiny by Zero 7

The songwriting is tight, the lyrics full of meaning, and the singer is out of this world.

Always by Lisa Shaw

Right here in my head, you got me spinnin' and back again. I'm so into you. That's the stuff, Lisa. Sing it, sister.

My favorite place to hear music: Yoshi's

A warm, intimate jazz club in Jack London Square in Oakland. What more could you ask for?

I Believe by Sunshine Jones

It's optimistic and full of compliments and love.

Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy) by Jim Croce

It's all about driving fast.

On the Road Again by Willie Nelson

Oh, if I have to explain this one, you have a library to visit.
