music, international relations/politics, dance, mac computers, reading, nutrition, vegetarianism, organics, snowboarding, camping, being outdoors, being trapped in the city, spending entirely too much time in the gym, testing the limits, learning (every day is a school day), learning about myself, holding back from falling apart, writing, singing, existing in my own world, remembering the little things and forgetting just about everything else, what if's, the "fuck-it." button, taking bad pictures--but a lot of them, the unfathomable depths of human suffering, idiocy, total incompetence and flashes of genius.
I'd like to meet:
I am not on here to be a warm body on your friends list and make you look more popular. I only want FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE. I know you want people to think you are cooler than you are, but no one is buying it.
If I could meet anyone? Well.. hmmm.. i'd really like to meet Matt Skiba, PEACHES, the beastie boys, Jack black, me 5 years ago so I can slap myself, george w-- so i can kick him in the shins... vapid people, internet stalkers, amateur pornographers, um.. obsessive psychotics..BUT. i do not accept friend requests unless we are: a. actually friends b. sending bulk mail messages. c. sleeping together. So don't ask without introducing first. didn't your momma teach you any manners?

Television:
i banished my tv to the balcony because i caught it trying to waste my time. the news. but i love the aquateen hunger force and--of course--the simpsons.
Books:
there are few things left that are pure, not condensed for rapid consumption or watered down for ease of use. books are solid, simultaneously timeless and dated, personal yet enjoyed by millions, and can challenge you without ever saying a word. they do not encroach on you, you must seek their knowledge... learn something.
Heroes:
my family and friends. my phenomenal fiancee, Val.
