SACRED YES, spreading the SURREALIST REVOLUTION!, deviance, pirates, music!, transmutations, break-dancing, seahorses, home abortions, destruction of hegemonic discourses...
I'd like to meet:
First and foremost, people who make me laugh...secondly, those who want to talk about revolution/privilege/oppression...those who want to collaborate and those who want to be playful because revolution and play are one and the same...
Also, those who can teach me new profanities, people who take extreme delight in "the marvelously futile and gloriously minuscule." The hopelessly debaucherous, people to play dress-up with, drag kings, philosophers, booze hounds, activists, goths, aliens, freaks, feminists, naughty librarians, androgynes, people who know good jokes, criminals, vagabonds, tattoo artists in search of human canvas,people who don't dominate conversations and don't take themselves too seriously, others in posession of a dark and twisted sense of humor...
Oh, and anyone who wants to buy my soiled underwear... and...

Books:
I luv me sum books..."We live on the verge of a burst of light, of a suffocated illumination before this unknown immensity which pours from us and to us in every direction: joy and fear are intimately mixed in us in an unlimited reflection of the universe in us, which we escape by acting usefully.""Life is not limited to that incomprehensible stream of the inner self; it streams out from and back into, incessantly opening to whatever flows out or rushes up to it. The ongoing whirling that composes you collides with similar whirlings, which form a vast figure driven by rhythmic restlessness. To live signifies not just the flows and momentary dispositions of life that unite in you but the movements of heat moving from one person to another."
- Georges Bataille

Heroes:
Some words from one of my biggest heros:
"The Surrealist Revolution represents the fundamental liberation of the human mind from all the conspiracies of reason: racism, patriarchy, capitalism, fascism, imperialism. It is a positive expression of the basically creative, restless potential of humanity - the ability to recognize itself and open into something new." J. Lowry
