Familia..Emma and Ezra...Impeaching Bush...finding a cure for arthritus.
Good people, with big hearts. People who know how to talk shit and have fun but still know how to respect others as well as themselves. Human beings that dream big and take risks yet also handle their bizness. I also kinda got of thing for grumpy folks cuz when they smile, it really means something.After years of coming up in the club scene in SF as "The Baroness" I found my self surrounded by club kids half my age...don't get me wrong, I love, adore and appreciate so many of those friendships. But sometimes I felt like the den mother of the rave. I yearned interaction with people closer to my age , with interests outside of the "party scene'. Most of my older pals had families and lives that rarely allowed us to connect. Yet my last couple of years in SF allowed me to finally find a group of kindred souls, that were in my "club life", shared my love of music, the funk and the nonsense...yet also thought, lived, worked, experienced and dreamed beyond the party. You are the people I miss.I know they are here...but due to my circumstance, it is not easy to meet many folks these days. I hang out in a local dive full of bar flies, college kids, teachers, hoodlums and cops. I've drank whisky with Viet Nam Vets who can't stand liberals, but have the best taste in music and often shed tears; I traded stories from a man who fought in WWII (he's got a big crush on me so he is fasinated by me). I've met amazing artists and some wanna-be-rappers, janitors on lunch break, metal workers,and even a few hookers. Alot of good people, some fucking assholes...all are real people...but few of them understand me. I get alot of respect for taking care of my mom, but they don't really get why I am having a hard time settling down and finding a job in the "real world".And then there are my aging parents, family and their friends. They have so much spunk, still know how to party but they are so damn smart, full of wisdom, LOVE and compassion. I also meet other more elderly souls (many in nursing homes), who share pearls of wisdom that I will treasure for ever. I smoke cigs with old men dying of cancer...watched birds with a blind man, I've had lunch with blue haired ladies and converse with some people who live in entirely imaginary world.So I guess what i am trying to say is I am now on the other end of the spectrum. Few people understand what the hell a dj is and nobody gives a fuck who "The Baroness" is...which (despite my leo ego) is cool, cuzI don't really need to meet people who care about "the baroness"...I just need to find some people who can connect with Charlotte.If you look on my friends page and see those that I love...Maya, Cat, Lance, Cle, Sommer, Michelle, Lulu, Buck, Jenny, Jillian, Lois, Justin, B-Metal, Dev, Anna, Solar, Errol, Jeremy, Josh, Canyon, Greer...the list goes on and on so I cannot name them all. But these are the people I miss so much and wish I could a find few kindred souls on this side of the world.
