-You MUST be from California. Whenever I meet someone new (to me) and I hear either of these two words I know they're from Cali. Being from PHX, which is a hotbed for Californian's and Chicagoan's I've heard that alot in the past few years.

What is your favorite word? Passion
What is your least favorite word? I love the language so much I can't think of one at the moment.
What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? C=The creative process itself. One of the great joys of my profession was taking a melody and it's chord progression, along with some lyrics, and arranging them for 4 part harmony, then rehearsing it, until it became so comfortable that it took on a life of it's own in performance. Marvelous fun!
S=Genuine passion (that's why it's my favorite word). E=Genuine kindness.
What turns you off? Malevolence
What is your favorite curse word? MF
What sound or noise do you love? Almost anything that comes from nature (birds, the breeze, a river or creek, the ocean, etc.)
What sound or noise do you hate? Almost anything man made other than music or laughter, etc. (i.e. jackhammers, traffic, car horns, lawn mowers, etc.)
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Actor
What profession would you not like to do? Though I have profound respect for their thankless job, I would NOT like to be a cop. Though I would enjoy putting the bad guy away, I couldn't handle dealing with the dregs and constant tragedy.
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "WELL DONE!"

I don't know. The Porto-San guy in the "Woodstock" movie seems to be having a good time...

Funny you should mention Antonio. I watched The Legend Of Zorro last night. It was a really good romp, requiring some suspension of reality, in the swashbuckling tradition of the 30s and 40s. Great stunts, and good sound. And it's not difficult to look at Catherine Zeta-Jones. I found myself marveling at how well a British song and dance lady fit an Hispanic role. WOOF! IMHO, good chemistry between Catherine and Antonio. I enjoyed it.
I don't usually watch the extra features on DVDs, but I watched all of them on this one, and really got a feel for what goes into creating the special effects, stunts, etc. I found it well worth my time.

Favorite word is Love.
Least favorite word is loser
What turns me on: The Mrs., of course
What turns me off: people who don't have opinions
My favorite curse word is more than one, but I do like Jack's MF.
What sounds or noise do you love: I better not answer that.
I hate the sound of car trunk subwoofers, just like Peter, and the sound of Britney Spears or Celine Dion singing that boat song or Slipknot, or Disturbed or anything coming out of my son's M40tis.
I would like to be a writer or actor.
I wouldn't like to be a politician.
If heaven exists, what would you like God to say when you arrive at the pearly gates. "We have real good physical therapists for that."
