Spirituality first and foremost, all else seems like details to me(except Love, which is my other favorite subject but they kind of go hand in hand). film and filmmaking, watching films, making them myself when I can; making animated shorts; wearing animated shorts; music: enjoying it and learning it so I can be a rock star. (and trying not be snobby about other people's musical tastes, and I often have a great deal of difficulty with that. I'm told I have a lot of opinions); I find sitting home on saturday night and creating something can often be more rewarding than going out; sitting around and relaxing(I see nothing wrong with the act of every now and then doing nothing. It can be more enjoyable than you know); getting in adventures; crime fighting; the political process, worts and all; trying to remain true to the Red Sox even after all the pain(and joy!!!)they've caused me; Matt Damon's hair in the Jason Bourne movies, so simple, so easy, so HOT; Ninjas; Samarai: honor; Lost; balance; Lately I've gotten into learning about classic video gaming, and I've been told in the past that I display a PASSION for 8-bit Nintendo. But really, do you realize how much you can accomplish in life if you don't play video games? Damn you, Mario!(and Mega Man and Metroid lady, you all know who you are), that Nintendo Wii looks promising...and is pretty cool...
Even if life happens and I don't speak to you for some time. Even if I move to another coast. Even if we have a falling out. If I like you enough to call you friend, it's more than likely it'll always be as such.
