Filmmaking! Teleporting. Grown-ups. Being boring. Intellectual stimulation. Writing. Reading. Falling asleep with all my clothes on. Singing in the shower. Existentialism versus Nihilism. Surrealism. German Expressionism. Conversational substance. Music fiends. Watching movies. Ironic and deadpan humor. Semantics. Blank stares. Hugging. Kissing. Deconstruction/Reconstruction. Make-up art. Vintage clothing. Vintage anything. Eclecticism. Spontaneous travel. Photography. Body modification. Disturbing imagery. Veganism. Cooking. Cartoons. Dancing and rocking out. Solitude. Being silly. Biomechanics. Laughing. Sincerity. Honesty. Countering counterculture. Eyes. Lips. Prominent collarbones and hipbones. Whatever.
Motivated grown-up type people.
People who will pay me to do film work.
Excitement. My leap of faith. Unconditional reciprocation.
Shredding guitars, fuzzy beep boop machines, cellos, harpsichord, ethereal vocals, anything that makes me feel like I'm in a movie or makes me want to break things. My music tastes are extremely wide and varied. This is what I've been listening to recently.

I respect many people, but I do not go so far as to call any of them heroes.
