Once upon a time, I was into photography , hang gliding, writing (novel/short stories) , and making movies (directing/editing) . I still like watching movies, good conversation with great friends, skateboarding, bodyboarding (don't do it enough), skateboarding, clubbing, skateboarding, and DANCING to 80s underground/alternative tunes, white-water-rafting (only did that once, but want to do that again too), exploring Southern California, skateboarding, motorcycling, exploring Southern California ON a motorcycle, and mountain biking. I'm a former AD&D gaming geek, former SCA (Society For Creative Anachronism) member, former BMX freestyler, and used to ride horses a hell of a lot - loved horseback riding and equestrian stuff, if it's outdoors, I will most likely enjoy it.
I'd like to meet:
How about who I do NOT want to meet?
Anyone with a profile full of photos of you and your friends holding drinks up to the camera in bars. Ugh. No. Stay away from me. Vapid alcoholic barflies who don't know how to have a good time without being wasted are too far below me on the evolutionary scale.
People with photos taken in a mirror. You're too stupid to use a goddamn timer, you're not intelligent enough to associate with me. Move along.
There you go. Those 2 stipulations alone eliminate 90% of the people on MySpace.
Also, I do not want to meet ANY of the people who are in this video:
I quote David Spade:
"MySpace is a great way to keep in touch with friends who you don't care enough about to actually have a conversation with. Why bother calling to say "How are you?" when you can just surf to their page and post an MPEG of a guy farting on his cat?"
