ninha_diegues: What female body part do you consider the most attractive one? I love when a woman has her arm extended down, relaxed, so I can pinch her elbow. I love the feeling of connectedness when I gently twist and fondle her magical elbow fat. I say that little tenure is magical because as the elbow performs its task of bending, the tangible thickness I so love to hold disappears. Oddly enough, to me, a bent elbow isn’t very attractive. In fact it looks quite menacing, like a hammer, attached to a vigorous human torso. Plus, guys have it too, so it’s not necessarily a distinctive lady-feature. Hmm… this is a tough question.
What female body part… Maybe the extra X chromosome? That’s unique to women. But am I turned on by it? I dunno, it’s hard to be attracted to something you can only see under a microscope, and in this case looks like lemon-crusted booger-jerky. No thank you.
I guess if I were ordering, I’d take a generous lip to bite on, a shoulder to cry on, and a pelvic bone to grind on… to go please.
AdrianaGarza: What do you suggest to replace paper towels/napkins and be as green as possible? I have already started doing your toilet paper suggestion. ;-)Adriana, first of all – Congrats on your adaptation of “Witch of Portobello” into a film.
The story behind your project sounds amazing, but not surprising. When you put your whole heart into something, accepting the weak and tired moments of the past, and being able to let them all go, while going forward into your brave new creations, the universe will of course conspire to see your best possibilities flourish! Best of luck at the premiere.
As for how to green your napkins, that’s easy, use cloth. I have a drawer full of linens that I use for lunch and dinner. If it doesn’t get too messy, just hang it on the back of the chair until your next meal. Otherwise, toss it in with your laundry. One purchase of a few cloth napkins means never again buying wasteful paper towels and napkins.
pinklove_: Have you ever written a song about avocados?You know, I didn’t think I had, until I came across
this song about breaking up. I had completely forgotten that I wrote it. It takes a guy with Big Avocados to jazz-skidoo so openly about his longing to get single again, especially when that guy has a reputation for being such a compassionate character capable of love and only love. While the song isn’t about avocados, there is mention of sitting under an Avocado Tree. It's called Camouflaging the Ugly.
Paulaaa_G: What is your favorite Blend Apparel shirt and why?I’m kind of partial to this one for all reasons design, color, and message.
kikionearth: when was your childhood you feel not fun?Kikionearth, I can has answer. There was not fun in afternoon once when came from school back home and bus stop got missed so has to go school again and sucked me sad not fun.
Another feel not fun time was when papa died.
jammin_jenna: is there a certain skill that you'd like to master? I had the pleasure of (almost) fishing with my step-dad last week. He’s a pro. I still flinch as incoming fish flop fatally on the line. I also have nerves about baiting the hook, especially when the boat’s a’rocking. Someday I want to be my own captain and deckhand for the service of my wife and kids.
So to answer your question, until then, as fish keep biting (both literally and figuratively) it is wise to focus on being a master baiter.
KellyMB93: Do you believe in ghosts?I don’t, but I own the movie Poltergeist and it continues to scare the shit out of me. So I guess my imagination believes heavily in the occult.
This is again proven by certain episodes of “Unsolved Mysteries” and “
Crossing Over with John Edward.”
vexillografica: Do you have a morning ritual? What is your favorite thing to wake up to?I don’t have a ritual per se. I tend wake up in a different place every morning. What time I went to bed the night before certainly plays a role in how I’ll get up and what I’ll do to create my day. I would prefer to wake up without an alarm clock, in the arms of my lover, followed by the devouring of a ripe melon or fresh fig, while having a foot massage, and then a scalp massage whilst falling back asleep. But that rarely happens.
Instead, I try to get up – chug 32 ounces of water, write in my notebook for at least 10 minutes without stopping, then pee for 10 minutes without stopping. After that, it depends on what’s in the day planner to determine whether or not I should pack my suitcase and split, or whether or not I should order a taxi to help me find my hotel to return to said day-planner.
James23tm: im going to perform in a coffee shop with my band . Its going to be our 1st time . Do u have tips for usPerformance Tips:
FIRSTLY: When asking a question, always end your sentences with the proper curvy punctuation mark. It lets the reader know that an answer is required of them. Luckily, I’m ahead of the curve and made sense of it.
SECONDLY: As you meditate on your upcoming show, remember that everything is riding on that one gig. Simply, Try not to blow it.
THEN: Prepare by Taking a Shower and Brushing Your teeth – Realize that your mouth is an instrument. Even if you’re just playing the drums, assume people are going to want to talk to you. There used to be a phrase in the business, “never let ‘em see you sweat.” Try covering your whole body in antiperspirant.
AND: Wear something nice. These days in music, it’s all about looking good. Anyone can write and perform music, but not everyone looks good doing it. The visual vibe of your performance should create a powerful space. If someone were deaf and walked into your show, they should think they’ve happened upon a wedding or a funeral, something fancy like, that only happens once or twice in a person’s life.
MAYBE: Change your name. I don’t know what your last name is, but it probably isn’t catchy enough. Take out some vowels, take the name of a foreign automobile, or just use your first name after you change that too.
FURTHERMORE: Don’t bore the audience with technical jargon or the telling of too many stories about the songs (stories are OK, just let the songs have their own poetics and punchlines separate from yours.)
FURTHERMOST: Don’t ever apologize to the audience. Welcome any sound-issues or tuning problems as the “way it is” and play on! The audience doesn’t care about how bad your monitor mix is or that you could use more reverb. Just be your naturally grateful self inviting the listener to “try-on” what it is you love about life.
LASTLY: Believe only some of my advice. And let that be for all the wisdom you’ll be sold along the way. Trust your instincts and be your own man. It’s really that easy. Have fun. And Good Luck.
LA_Decostified: When I make my way from LA to San Fran I'm definitely hitting up Cafe Gratitude! What do you recommend I order though??An interesting thing about Café Gratitude is that all the items on the menu have affirmation names such as “I am whole,” “I am Inspired” and “I am Grace.” By ordering this way, you put it out there in the universe that you ARE indeed what you eat. You‘ll be surprised how quickly your life accepts you as those declarations. When the server returns with your food, he or she will say, “You are Whole. You are Inspired. And you are Grace.”
Those affirmation names I just mentioned are some of my favorites menu items btw. I’d also recommend “I am Devoted” for desert, which should really be called, “I’m going to eat this whole fucking thing.” Prepare oneself for deliciousness.
FaithHopeJoy: Do you and your friends ever sit around and play board games on a Friday night? If so, what are your favorites?In a household with no TV, it’s easy to bring good games to life. In our home, we are suckers for BLOKUS and
The Abounding River Game, the latter being a transformation game meant to move you out of your comfort zone and into a more profound and inspired way of being. We currently have this game available for play in the Gratitude Tents at the Gratitude Café Tour. Come and play with us!
We’re still looking for volunteers for September and October btw. If you’re interested in helping out in your city,

priyanka6789: What are YOU most grateful for?I am grateful for the power in listening. I am grateful to have a worldwide community of listeners that invite me to speak. The more I acknowledge the listener, the more I strengthen my own ear to hear what the world is saying back to me, not what my head thinks the world is saying.
As a listener, we’re quick to smother someone’s words with our own thoughts and interpretations. “What did they mean by that?” “Is that really true?” “Why did they say that?” “Are they going to keep talking forever?”
Real listening is being able to repeat back to that person what it is they just told you, word for word, without any twists or fixes in the story.
More for the moment, I am grateful you asked that question. Because you choose to listen to my answer, I get to learn more about me too, realizing where and with whom I could be a better listener. Thank you.
