Sushi chefs that have an affinity for pro-bono work. A patent attorney. Carmen Electra. A screen-writer. Someone who's started their own LLC. Witty people who make and understand obscure references. "We can't stop here, it's bat country..." and "I fart in your general direction," and "What's the soup du jour?...that sounds good, I'll have that," spring to mind. People who aren't afraid to be the only one laughing in a theater. People who are easily entertained with nature and being outdoors. Risk-takers. People who have eliminated "can't" from their vocabulary. I want to surround myself with people that know more than i do about many things so that I can learn from them and share with them. People who would be good future business partners, think-tank partners and idea-people. People who have a burning desire to succeed at what they set out to do. I want to meet people with a passion for art, community service, music, self improvement, charity, language, travel and success. and food...I can't believe I almost forgot that...this boy is slippin'

I admire people who are patient, people who are detail oriented but don't lose track of the big picture, and people who are comfortable with who they are (not what they think others want them to be)
