I'd like to meet:
I'm interested in people who have something to say. Are you an artist who interprets his world through song, dance, paint or photograph? Are you a poet? A student? An actor? An intellectual? Are you a thinker? A dreamer? A mover and a shaker? I want to continue to fill my world with people who have learned to appreciate the beauty in life, and people who are honest enough to say that there's more to learn.
