I like: Intelligence, compassion, humor, individuality, being silly, playing live music, seeing live music, socializing, skiing, wakeboarding, swimming, basketball, tennis, hiking, reading, and living.
I dislike: Ignorance, hatred, closed-mindedness, eliteism, chocolate, people who take themselves too seriously, people who care more about what you wear than who you are, bad drivers, fear, and overly insecure people.
Our general lack of accountability.
I'd like to meet:
People of the human variety, whiskey lovers, and spicy women.
