There are many things that interest me, but I think I can sum it all up with a Quizzo-playing dancing space-pirate monkey who likes to drink captain and cokes or Yuenglings while writing about taking over the world with a mixing console and some spoken word poetry that could make people laugh when they ride public transit or watch movies about stimulating conversations people have as they sip on vanilla steamers and walk around Philadelphia until they drop. Well, that certainly covers a lot of it. I also enjoy creativity.
Living people, preferably in the Philly area, music lovers, movie lovers, life lovers, fellow writers, people who ROCK, people who used to (or still do) watch Fraggle Rock, people who can engage in somewhat intellectual conversation, people who'd like to accompany me to a diner at 2am to ruminate on life over some hot beverages and cinnamon toast, someone who's got a good remedy for a stomach ache or has some fabulous back-rubbing skills...Inspire me or make me laugh, and you're pretty much in.
