Obviously, film is a big part of my life, both making them and watching them but I’m also into writing, painting, books, comic books, rock climbing, skiing, hiking, having a beer with friends and just plaining having a good time, especially with fun, open-minded people.
Moslty I'd like to meet fellow like minded people who share some of my many interests and all should be open-minded and interesting. There is nothing worse then people who just gripe about their day or talk a lot and say nothing. I'm not against meeting single women looking for something serious (but I've never been involved in any online dating or meetings) but all in all I do enjoy talking and meeting new people regularly so all may apply. I'd especially like to meet fellow filmmakers, actors, Lauren Bacall, Betty Page, Gary Oldman, Robert Rodriguez, George Romero and Michelle Yeoh.
Music is a great tell all of a person and for me, you'll see it is very eclectic. I like All, Descendents, Green Day, Blink 182, Big Drill Car, Chemical People, REM, The Cure, The Smiths, U2, Husker Du, Black Flag, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Somerset Meadows, Pillars of Nein, NIN, Big Black, The Eagles, Beastie Boys, The Who, Beatles, Dagnasty, The Police, Eminem, Down by Law, Gorrillaz, The Sex Pistols, Red Kross, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Run DMC, NWA, Lush, Foo Fighters, Follow for Now, Goo Goo Dolls, The Derailers and a few hundred more I'll add to later on.
