I'd like to meet:
Risk-taking smart-asses who can carry a conversation. Also, llama farmers.
Music:
I enjoy every genre on the musical spectrum, depending upon my mood, from salsa y merengue to acid jazz, from Johnny Cash to The Roots to Metallica, it doesn't matter ... I will listen to it all (usually while driving). Now that I have an iPod, the playlists are killer. Got any tunes or bands you think I need to be listening to? Then send them my way!
All-time favorites include Ben Folds, Beastie Boys, Billy Joel, Coldplay, DMB, Pat McGee Band, Phish, The Police, Virginia Coalition ... lately I've really enjoyed: FALL OUT BOY!, Copeland, Mae, Death Cab, Keane, Josh Kelley, Marc Broussard, Adam Richman, John Legend, Getaway Car, Sister Hazel, John Mayer Trio, among others... Also growing in my appreciation of country music, especially the old stuff; Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Hank Sr. and the like.
Movies:
Back to the Future, Braveheart, The Incredibles, Gattaca, Fight Club, The Big Lebowski, The Transporter, Field of Dreams, The Red Violin, Zoolander, Spaceballs, Batman Begins, Children of Men, 300
Television:
LOST, Heroes, Smallville, Futurama, Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. That's all I need.
Books:
Big fan Stephen King's and Ray Bradbury's collections of short stories. Have also really enjoyed thick-ass novels like The Fountainhead and The Stand. With such little time on my hands to actually sit down and digest an entire book, short stories are just perfect for me right now.
Heroes:
People who set and achieve goals, and eventually follow their dreams to fruition, despite the greatest of hardships and obstacles. That's heroic. Sappy? Sentimental? Maybe, but when you actually meet someone whose life is like that, it's pretty awesome, and you root for them.
