Good vibrations, just about anything that commands my full attention and brings me into the present moment, love, guitar (especially through an Ibanez Tube Screamer), writing and recording music, sleeping, Buddhist thought, driving like I mean it, FBGM, drawing, painting, graphic design, cunnilingus, political commentary, sarcasm, LemonDropKick , more sleeping...
People with answers. And questions. People who understand how crucial it is that we take care in the company we keep. People whom I can have a mutually beneficial relationship with, or help improve, or be improved through knowing. And people who are ALIVE.
Yes, please.
