      I can't say I have a favorite holiday. I'm not really a holiday person.

      I've always loved superhero/sci-fi/fantasy type stuff. I really liked the old spider-man cartoon, the Adam West batman show, and a whole mess of similar things.

      I loved the Shazam hour, even though when I see clips of it now I realize how cheesy it was.

      I've always been interested in living in the pacific northwest, like Seattle. I'm also interested in San Francisco. I love the water, and cherish quiet, so places I can get both or be near it appeal to me. I've thought about living in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware too.

      THIS Saturday, visiting Kacie's family. Every Saturday, just being.

      I used to be able to answer this easily, but since embracing the Tao, it's become a lot harder.

      That's because as I see it every single moment, from being stuck in traffic, to breathing out frosty air at 2 in the morning by the side of the road, is a sublime, exquisite experience. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that I don't enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone, and doing new things, or going new places. I love doing that!

      But I don't have things I need to do to make my life complete. It's already complete.

      Having said that, I do have things I want to do, places I want to go, and things I want to see. In no particular order:

      - I want to go to the Grand Canyon.
      - I want to ride on a sleeper train, on an overnight trip.
      - I want to travel back to exotic places I went as a child, like France, Japan, China, and Switzerland. I also want to go to places I haven't been yet - like Australia and New Zealand. I especially want to scuba dive with sharks off the Great Barrier Reef
      - I want to change careers and become a sex therapist
      - I want to write more books

      Well, ever since I was a kid, I've always had wonton soup when I'm sick. It's my family's version of chicken noodle soup. I tend to get little when I'm sick, especially if I'm tired. Getting all snuggled up under blankets with a shark or three (ir more likely seven), and just taking it easy is how I rest.

      I absolutely have, many times. But I haven't yet.

      I respond to it, and think of myself that way, a lot of the time. I started using it as my scene name, back then I was "babymako". But it's evolved to become so much more. It's my pen name, Mako Allen, as well as my scuba diver's nickname, with which I mark my gear.

      But I also found out that it has lots of other meanings which make it dear to me.

      Mako is maori for "blue lightning", because Mako sharks move so quickly, I think. I think it's a virtue to mentally be quick on one's feet.

      Mako is japanese for "child of the truth", and that also speaks to me. I think being honest about who and what you are in your life is a great goodness.

      It is also, of course, the name of my most favorite species of shark, whom I think are beautiful and powerful.

      Strangely enough, I also found out that it's a yiddish name, a form of "Manuel". My paternal grandfather's name was Emanuel, so this really appeals to me. I loved him.

      But yet I hang on to my vanilla name. I used to say I wanted to change my name out of anger at my father. But I let go of that anger a long time ago. My vanilla identity is a part of me - it has a lot to do with where I came from, my professional life and accomplishments. I joke around sometimes that it's "the name I sign checks with", but it's a lot more than that. I appreciate the duality, and the complimentary nature of my two sides. The vanilla me and the kinky me aren't opposites - they're like yin and yang, contained within one another, framed and created by one another. My brother/partner/self Spacey says that there is a great beauty to behold in contrast, and I agree with him.
