I'd like to meet:

People that question. People that interest. People that sympathize. Most of all, people with passion.

Music:

Punk Jazz HipHop Lounge Classic Rock Dance/electric/indust/techno type stuff LIVE MUSIC

Movies:

I absolutely love cinema. Not just my entertainment but also my livelihood. Teen films, cult films, REAL independents, and a lot of the mainstream shit. I tend to gravitate to character-based dramas, but I like comedy, thrillers, docs, girls gone wild tapes, animation/children's films. Less interested in Horror and Sci-Fi, but there are a few I like.

Television:

I have a love/hate thing with TV. Current shows I hate to love are: new yankee workshop, extreme home makeover, law and order, Veronica Mars, smallville, Vegas, car chases on KCAL 9, Grey's Anatomy, Fam Guy, Amer Dad, 70s show, NCIS, and Law and Order. Just say NO to reality tv. There's already too much in real life.

Books:

"I don't read books, I read faces." If that's good enough for the prez, it's good enough for me. Although I did recently read, Kitchen Confidential. Books on tape are cool right now, but only if they're unabridged.
