I'd like to meet:
New people that help me do new and exciting things that will in turn produce positive results for us all. I also wouldn't mind meeting people I've crossed paths in life previously and catching up on old times. Oh, and I'm single now, so...IMPORTANT MESSAGE, PLEASE READ!
If you believe I'm a decent life form deserving of your friendship, respect and/or admiration, do not add this account to your MySpace Friends list. Add this account instead. Thank you for your understanding.
Music:
Soul, R&B, Funk, Gospel, Jazz, '80s, New Wave, Electronica, Foreign Pop Songs. My typical musical weaknesses: Motown, Philippine OPM Ballads and New Orleans Brass Band music.
Movies:
Contact, Forrest Gump, E.T. (and not just cos it's my initials), This is Spinal Tap, Hero, There's Something About Mary, all of the Star Wars films, Close Encounters, School of Rock and some others. Believe it or not I haven't seen any of the Lord of the Rings films. I mean, I really want to see them, but my chiropractor recommends I shouldn't sit down for such lengthy durations.
Television:
Sometimes "The Simpsons," "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" or the occasional news perograms. That's pretty much it. I don't watch reality shows. Okay, sometimes I watch "American Idol" but it frustrates me cos I know I can kick ass on that show but I'm too old and not of the right skin color to make it on that show.I watch very little television, and find cable equally vapid. Actually, aside from the Internet, radio is my medium of choice. I can be found listening to Coast To Coast A.M. which is a late night A.M. radio show devoted to such things as UFOs, the supernatural, the unknown, psychic predictions, science fact/fiction and even conspiracy theories. I don't necessarily believe everything I hear on that show, but at the very least it's very entertaining.
Books:
The Audacity of Hope, by Barack Obama, God's Politics: Why The Right Gets it Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It, by Jim Wallis; Playing With Trains: Passion Beyond Scale, by Sam Posey; various Los Angeles history books.
Heroes:
Stevie Wonder, Fat Albert, Johnny Sokko (plus the Giant Robot too) and the dude on Police Academy who can make all those crazy noises with his mouth.
