Doing the skateboard shuffle. Reconciling the desire to travel the world, but spending way too much time stressing in front of a computer. Going out to Shows. Documentary Films. Conversations that mostly involve movie quotes. Politics. Tinkering with and riding motorcycles. Being frustrated with the art of silk-screening. A good Kentucky bourbon. Collecting early 90's skateboards (click here to see what a waste of money this addiction is--not to mention how bad my html skills are). Record collecting. Making top 5 band lists in my head, and re-evaluating said list on a weekly basis. Being humbled by surfing. Camping. Meeting new people. Laughing. Discussing whether or not there is any truth to social darwinism over a cup of coffee.
Preferably a girl with giraffe-like qualities.
