A diverse amount of people spanning ages, genders, ethnicities, and geographic borderlines.
I will welcome any real people (i.e. no spammed band ads or bimbo-porn spambots or worse) to message me.
I'm still struggling to get over procrastinations regarding returning messages and blogging, but I'll keep trying. If you don't hear from me for a few days or weeks, don't worry...I will try to get back to you, if you seem worthwhile to trade words, wisdom, and barbs.
Hmm..who else?
"Cool" people, I guess...whatever THAT's supposed to me an anymore. I don't know. Don't think I ever knew. I do not consider myself "cool" at all...
[ come to think about it, I'll be happy to hear from "hot" people, too...;) ]
Creative people, especially, yes!
I prefer to stay on the Leftist side of the French-derived political coin. I want the Bush/Republican Nazi Junta that is destroying this country (and in collusion with certain corporations and dictatorships) to be annihilated, and more progressive leaders to help steer ole U.S.A. into a healthier direction.
However, I am not a mindless, act-before-you-think radical "anarchist," and I will also consider alternate opinions from the other sides of the aisle, be they centrist and conservative voices (as long as their reasoning is sound, their dialogue is respectful, and they do not come across as FOX-News/Rush Limburger/Bill O'Slimy-type assholes...or worse).
I am an agnostic. I am not pro-fundamentalist concerning any belief system by any stretch of the imagination (though sometimes, I envy those who have "extreme" religious awakenings, a rush of altered consciousness akin to certain drug and psychological experiences).
I recognize the value of spirituality in people's lives and communities as a means of survival and psychological nourishment. I'm not sure I can agree with the tenets of many religious beliefs, though.
As I've mentioned above, I don't know who I am, or what to believe in. I would hope that gets resolved one day, without sacrificing any semblance of my "opened" mind. Come to think about it, I wouldn't mind opening my "third" eye as well. ;)
I do enjoy "collecting" different music, film, book, activist, and "unusual" MySpace pages, if only to expand my knowledges and tastes regarding these fields.
I will not automatically accept EVERY solicitation, and I might delete some from time to time for arbitrary reasons (lack of interest, sudden dislike, sudden inner-emotional turmoil, etc.).
Yes, I wouldn't mind hooking up with a new girlfriend and exploring heretofore untried erotic adventures. As well as simple love and friendship.
But I'm resigned to the fact (in the past, and for now) that the ones I tend to feel the strongest attraction for are either already "claimed" or do not like me. And I am often repelled at (some) of the handful that ARE (but that's a complex and difficult topic that I do not wish to discuss further here...).
There's a part of me telling me that, "The part where you say on MySpace, which according to USA Today whom is running a distant second to FaceBook [which I've also got a profile on] , "I'd Like to Meet..." is still under "construction." Yes, it is true, and more of a product of my OCD tendency to regiment things by date in order to create a sense of coherence. Don't pay it no mind. It's OK, because nobody really visits here, anyway.
With or without various forms of chemical enhancement, these are the musicians I have long past or recently listened to (and, bear in mind, I have so much desire to listen to more of their musical catalogs, AND/OR other musicians than these). As always, I'll be periodically updating this list...

To be honest, I haven't been a regular watcher in a very long time, I do not have even basic cable, and I feel guilty for having a TV or having wasted a good 20 to 40% (who knows?) of my life burning my brains in front of the cathode ray tube.
