I'd like to meet:
people that won't stress me out. people who can make me laugh. people who would rather rejoice than complain. people who won't waste my time...i do enough of that on my own
Music:
I like so many types from infectious bass beats to sleepy lullabies. Catchy hooks to conscious lyrics. World rhythms to local starving artists. I just like good music, period. Hands down, my two all-time favorites are The Roots and Stevie Wonder.
