Theatre and Photography. maybe even photographic theatre...aka "Cinema."
SEEING: "I want specifics on the general idea, Want to think what I should know, Want you to do me what to show. I want to see movies of my dreams. I want to see movies of my dreams..."
TOUCHING: Green blades of grass beneath my fingertips and moon shadows on the back of my neck...
SMELLING: "I can't forget the smell of summer trees after midnight, bending backwards to please the wind..."
TASTING: Iced herbal tea on a hot day. Also, heart-shaped bavarian sugar cookies.
HEARING: The sound a ticket stub makes when torn, the click of a camera shutter, and rythmic patter of morning rain on a tin roof.
FEELING: "I think that we should know because we both have loved and lost and are alone."
I'd like to meet:
Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santisma Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
ALSO:
An attractive anarchist baker who will make heart shaped bavarian sugar cookies for me.

Television:
There are too many worthwhile things to do besides sit on a couch and let your brain bleed out your ears to the sights and sounds of rampant brainwashing commercialism and bad acting...like wasting your time on Myspace.
