Music in general, theatre, musical theatre, siesta key, film, people who accept me for the bad speller that I am, public transportation, Africans, talking shit about people, cheese, Cameron Crowe, observing good discussion but never really taking part in it, coffee and cigarettes, reading, postage stamps, billiards, incendiary wit, fashion, writing things I'll never finish, traveling, writing letters, political science, photography, brick-a-brack, dancing the night away, finding other people who enjoy playing cards, Ryan
I'd like to meet:
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...
