Listening to music, dance circles, playing instruments, makin fun of emo kids, friends, learning, spinning records, turntablism, admiring admirable people, other cultures, partying, foreign films, popping, concerts, Monte Carlo SS, cars, thinking about stupid shit, safely causing trouble, mental connections, mutual intellectual debate, wishing I knew more about stuff, racing, reading, self improvement, thinking about shit that matters, obsessing, philosophy, breaking, good beer, grafitti, deep thoughts, being annoying to kawai because nothing bothers him, silence with the right company, understanding things I don't agree with, syncopation, smiling at strangers, analyzing mob mentality, locking, learning to catch people saying completely contradictory things and letting them get away with it because it doesn't (shouldn't) matter, learning about stuff that I wish I knew more about, playing devil's advocate, brooklyn rock, random outings to random places at random times, controlled impulses, the "hi-hats" in a good electro track, beatboxing, thinking the same thing as a another person at the same time and acknowleding it without saying a word...
