People that smile back. Someone I can actually talk to about things that actually matter. The "not so predictable". The goteeless. The awake. The Non-Brovish. The inquisitve. The intriguing. The inspirational. Conflicted circus folk. Old bearded fisherman. Unretired alcoholics. Broken, overwieght construcion workers. Vicoden addicted defense attorneys. Common senseless degree owners. Irrational thinking writers. Rant indulgent imaginative directors. Patient detailed cinematograpers. Anyone that uses words that I don't understand; basically anyone who is smarter/wiser than I am (everyone). Musicians. Homeless musicians. Movie buffs. Callipygians. Passionate artists. Humble/pure/caring/genuine people. A down to earth, smart, eclectic, sincere, adventurous, funny, super-sarcastic girl that can make me laugh repeatedly & will allow me to make her the happiest person alive. The real you...

is a network of greed and glamour that will murder your fragile soul if you aren't careful. big $$$, media controlling the sheep. the evening news: you can't stop the inevitable i.e. murders, rape/hate crimes, traffic accidents, natural distasters, etc. people that watch the evening news every night end up fearing the world, their neighbors, eventually themselves. this nation wants you to be afraid, and dumb. read a newspaper...or at least watch discovery or history, cretins
