I like putting pressure on my eyelids with my thumbs and seeing the dark yet colorful shapes float around... I like laid-back people/ I like being told that I'm laid-back/I like getting laid/ I like the feeling I get when I've finished writing a song, it's the same one I get when I've finished getting laid/ I like pictures of celestial faces/ I like getting into the bathtub at noon and then getting out at 1:30/ I like sitting in one of the rocking chairs on dad's porch and smoking a cigarette with a beer in my hand and waving to people passing by/ I like it when someone comes over to hang out and putting on some music real loud and just sitting there and enjoying it with them/ I like that I threw a fit when I was being taken to my first day of school, I remember it clearly and would do it again even now/ I like bacon and eggs/ I like taking alot of pain-killers and twice my dosage of anti-depressants, then getting drunk and going out in public in daylight/ I like guinea-pigs/ I like the smell of rain/ I like going a whole day without stepping on a snail, piece of gum, or pile of shit/ I like the fact that I don't give a flying fuck about anything/ I like the fabulous french toast platter at Dennys/ I like going without eating or sleeping until I'm even more lethargic than usual/ I like the rare moments when I laugh so hard with someone that it hurts and I tear up/ I like having friends that are a different race/ I like being out late with friends/ I like my car/ I like sitting in my car when it rains/ I like it when everyone completely understands what each is expressing in a group discussion/ I like to speak in an Irish accent to complete strangers/ I like day-dreaming/ I like going to the coffee-house early in the morning/ I like feeling a vibe identical to one I once felt as a little kid/ I like the song the church bells play by my grandma's/ I like that I am loved.
I'd like to meet:
More best friends like Alex Brookresen... always down to hang out, always down to do whatever I'm doing, never judges, I've NEVER heard of him talking shit behind my back, he's there, and he's there for his friends.Or friends like Levi... eccentric as Hunter S. Thompson, always fun, always energetic, wise to the point of being TOO wise for his own good, drives you around in a jeep wrangler without wearing a seatbelt while the doors are in the trunk.I'd like to meet more girls like Mary Crocker and Emily Thomas... more than just eye candy... not just any female, one a guy can understand, a girl who admits to being crazy, a girl who will get nautious at the thought of deceiving her boyfriend, a girl who will hold my hand and drunkenly sing nirvana songs with me, a girl who sleeps with her head on my chest, a girl you have to carry down the stairs at the end of a party, a girl I can be an awkward geek around and she understands because she knows my horomones are shutting off parts of my mind and activating others... A girl who loves me.
Music:
Music just isn't the same anymore. Where has the artists desire to dance on the mind and soul of their audience gone? Is it really all about cruising around in a car with hydrolics or dancing in a club now? What happened to love? The love songs fade away and divorce rates explode...

Movies:
I'll watch anything all the way through before judging it... Rush Hour 3 totally sucked.
I'm really into independant films, and weird pseudo-intellectual and sometimes even actual intellectual stuff.
Television:
I just watch movies. I came from my landlord's loins so he thinks I still have to pay him when I'm sitting up there with no cable (just 2 static polluted channels) insulation, valid air-conditioning, shower... I dunno, I like comedy central, adult swim... typical idiotic things like that.
Books:
I have read alot... but not for the past couple of years... I started reading a Bukowski, but my dog ate it... but what I had read was amazing, so I'm going to stock up on his stuff.
Heroes:
Any honest to god bleeding heart artist. All of my friends, except Chris Born, he's a fucking dickhead. My dad for his healthy integrity throughout the divorce. My mom for feeding me and whatnot all throughout childhood. My most recently late grandpa for playing with my hot wheels cars with me as a little kid and his enthusiasm for my piano playing. My grandma for her artistic and spiritual influence on me... amazing woman, old as fuck and still ticking. Mr. Clean, for being the most obviously racist grinning bastard I know and making me laugh at him everytime I walk by him at Wal-mart because of it.
