Documentaries, WHRO and NPR, music, literature, studying groups of people, thinking myself into a hole, working under pressure, Saul Williams, your moms face in a box, String Theory, trying to write poetry, my parents, Aunt Irene and Aunt Nat, school, the sound a crayon makes when you pull it off the paper, food, the Jewish culture, humans, caffeine, cigarettes, dark matter, large gold deposits in my backyard, museums, full solar eclipses, volunteering, the mildly retarded T-Rex I live with, sleeping, not going to sleep, politics, history, the future, healthy debate, not locking my keys in the car, and ice cream.
Generally, people with taste. People of culture. People with style and substance. People who push social norms. People aware of their surroundings. People who know their rights. People with faith in humanity, it's just people they question. People who search, think, and speak for themselves. People who can spell. People who know something I don't.Particularly, musicians, artists, activists, teachers, philanthropists, scientists, authors, poets, romantics, pragmatists, critics, skeptics, cynics, philosophers, thespians, journalists, historians...Basically anyone with soul, however I define it.Specifically, Bob Dylan...
