I'd like to meet:
++1 )People, mostly.
No goats. No donkeys. No gorillas. No hamsters. No fugging animals. Period. I freely exercise my right to discriminate and harass other species liberally. I don't dislike animals at all, I just resent 'political correctness' and how silly it makes people behave. In fact, the next time you hear someone going out of their way to be PC.. do the world a favor and backhand them! They help contribute to the rapid evaporation of what's left of the beauty in this world. You'll smile inside!
++2)Musicians, artists, writers, models, eccentrics, acrobats, rodeo clowns, circus midgets, geeks, freaks, thieves, superheroes, ninjas, daredevils.. people that help bring color into a black and white world, regardless of what category you may fall into. People like this make the planet an interesting place, and Gods, do we ever need more. After all, it's our differences and intricacies that make tomorrow come.
++3)Those also attuned (and versed, perhaps)to the supernatural... especially if it 'chose' you, rather than you choosing it. Someone else out there has to know what I mean by this, I'm sure...
++4)Anyone who lets me talk about anything I feel like for hours, no matter how insane you may think it is (or fractured and discombobulated) and still think I'm cool. Gods help you if you catch me in one of these moods.
Signs.. make me one, and I'll make you one.. promise!
All sorts of stuff.. I don't think I'll have the time to define - ever. Basically, if it makes me feel, if it's swirly, edgy, makes me want to dance, or touches me in some way then I probably love it. And I love all genres of music, so that is a whole lot of shit.
'You met me at a very interesting time in my life..'
I'm not all that into television. I try and avoid it as much as I can, due to the fact that I prefer reality.
friedrich nietzsche // The Marquis De Sade // Immanuel Kant // Karl Marx // Homer // Virgil // Albert Einstein // Carl Gustav Jung // William Shakespeare // Dante Aligheri // Niccollo Macchiavelli // Edgar Allen Poe // Emily Dickenson // Toni Morrison // Sir Walter Scott // Leo Tolstoy // Bram Stoker - NOT quite books, but favorite writers. I could go on and on.. but you'd be bored. .
Sadly, I can't say that I have any left. It seems to me that people of conviction, integrity and character are a dying breed.
Possibly anyone who stands up for what they believe in. Anyone who is willing to fight an impossible battle - especially if they know the odds and try anyhow.
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed your children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
