Me in heaven:
Anybody who...
1. loves hanging out at golden gate park or ocean beach
2. likes to play kick ball, frisbee (or throw and catch things), basketball, volleyball, tennis...i'm not very good at any of the above but i LOVE this stuff
3. agrees that Kermit is the most perfect frog (his new autobiography is a must have).
4. enjoys walks all over the city, ocean beach on foggy days, rowing on Stow Lake, rain, slurpees, hiking, tea and koala bears.
5. ::sigh::...and of course I'd like to meet Tracy Chapman (please contact me if you have), fellow pigeon advocates, banjo playin' frogs (and possibly other musically inclined amphibians) and just plain nice, real, considerate, hardworkin', exciting, wise people.
Thanks!

"Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times...
Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white."
