I'd like to meet:

This guyAs well as adventurers, artists, wanderers, muses, and people who voraciously devour the bounty of life.Book binders, toy camera fiends, fellow vegans. People who love unconditionally and with abandon. I don't have time or space in my life for people who don't, or who lack the capacity all together. People with high fiber diets. People just looking for sexual exploits should look elsewhere. I’m not very interested in grinding against you. But I might be interested in discussing beauty/philosophy/science/life with you over tea sometime.I don't want to date you.aim=evilmannequine yahoo=ifondlemannequinesIf you have more than 150 friends or so, I probably won't friend you until you message me. I'm not so hot on being part of people's myspace collections.Also, if you insist on typing with internet abbreviations, please don't message me. Ur is an ancient city, not an abbreviation for you are or your.

Charles Bukowski

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
don't swim in the same slough
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself
and
stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.

invent yourself,
change your tone and shape so often that they can
never
categorize you.
reinvigorate yourself and
accept what is
but only on the terms that you have invented
and reinvented
be self-taught
and reinvent your life because you must;
it is your life and
its history
and the present
belong only to
you.
