Bush Admin getting the fuck out of office, Having conversations with my cat Kareem, Reading anything and everything that I can but not believing everything that I read. surfing, avoiding hype, finding honesty, food that isn't Americana, traveling, present day artists like banksy, Dave Kinsey, Craig Metzger, or Geoff McFetridge. music in case you missed that part, world events, telling people just how wrong they really are, optimism, AP style, laughing, sense of being, little things, avoiding anything that begins with Xtreme or X-, Breaking things, fire, records, crossword puzzles, lately I have been obsessed with the idea of making adult size big wheels so my friends and I can form a gang and ride around the hood straight mobbin'
The truthseekers, The fearless, the passionate, and the underdogs. Those who steal fire and are willing to bleed for their dreams. The shot caller that decided which sweaters Cliff Huxtable should wear on the Cosby show. Anyone who thinks drama should be left to 15 year olds and theater majors. Anyone that can turn me on to some music or art..... People who are not afraid to make a fool out of themself if it means having fun. Somebody I can talk to about the dumbest things in the world and still be able to tell them why I can't sleep at night. Anyone who owns a machine that can dismantle my nightmares; that can turn my despair into hope and my fears into oblivion. Anyone who goes after what they want in life not what they know is safe. Someone who finds talking to schizophrenics entertaining to some degree. Someone to give the perfect mixtape.

Anyone who has two children while in college then raises them while going to school and then finnished their degree then attaining a masters degree while working full time to suport the children in two years. Anyone that follows their heart in life, Anyone that stands up and does what they think is the right thing.
