Peeing in the woods, running around shouting at people while naked, exploring new cities at night, love, hate, djing, vinyl, late 19th century french symbolist poetry, poetry in general, anthropology, philosophy, hip hop, arabic, north africa, algeria, l'algerie, languages, modern and postmodern art and poetry, other people, being at peace, seeing other people improve and be happy,traveling, ch-ch-ch-changes!
I'm feeling more positive today so:
I'd like to meet people who love others and love life. People who recognize that there are important injustices in the world which extend into a sense of pain and suffering beyond our (probable) experiences as lucky Americans and who thus feel a responsibility to combat them.
Second - People I don't want to meet:
A - People who think talking in a fake english accent is cool.
B - Women who had an abusive father or male figure early on in life and so can't feel loved unless they're being abused.
C - People who assume fake identites or latch on to lame- ass counter culture movements in order to cover for their lack of personal character.
D - Anyone who is so ideologically liberal or conservative that they can't discuss important issues without spewing platitudes like so much vomit.
Other than that I'd like to meet:
Those who want to break the bones of words in order to suck the marrow of meaning (Rabelais). Those who seek to find truth in life and beauty in experience. People who want to actually do positive things in the world and not just amass social capital to feed their lopsided ego.
