Live music, travel, skiing, sports, the NY Football Giants, ass shakin', air bass, jedi mind tricks, good food, good people, love, laughter, experience, connection, change, possibility, joy, wonder, beauty, life.
Oh, and live music.
I'd like to meet:
the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
Jack Kerouac
On the Road
