I'd like to meet:

Someone who doesn't shift their eyes.
Someone who obsesses.
Someone who doesn't give up.
Someone keen.
Yeah you. You know what I mean.

I am soooooooo done with perpetually negative people and blame everyone else but themselves:

GONZO
Oh, Jesus! Did you see what god just did to us?

DUKE
God didn't do that! You did it! You're a fucking narcotics agent,

I have met/know everyone that I've added as a friend. If I have not met you or don't know you it is unlikely I will add you.

Music:

No.

Movies:

I have about 300 DVDs, most are left over from chiarOscuro and they serve as background, luring me into various imaginative states.
