Living life openly the way I see fit, cooking, co-op quest games, wanderlust, the arts, photography, graffiti, east asian anything, painting, writing, natural beauties, politics, wisdom from old asian people, history, compassion, the self, no self, closing the gates of oblivion with my +5 blade skills, bossy girls with ratitude problems, national public radio, dictionary.com, the deep blue ocean, immersing myself in the feeling of desperation when it comes- it's so beautiful and inspiring, counter pop culture, self-loathing beatniks, inventing, re-inventing, spending hideous amounts of money at amoeba, the underdog, hot tea, ungeneral wanderings in general areas, self-improvement, jazz, conquering runyon canyon, pretty dresses, online scrabble, philosophy, being naked, sunny days in the great outdoors, rainy days with johnny cash, roadside fruit, writing epic papers and enjoying it, athletics, the dao, a better tomorrow, family, traveling, libros, laughing at myself, talking to strangers like old friends, roadtrips with nostalgic music, less ego, awkward situations, traditional chinese meals, marginalized groups, prayer, yoga, stream of consciousness, being "not asian enough", personal responsibility, letting the pieces fall, and beautiful planet earth.
I'd like to meet:
poetry in motion
those who realize their self-worth, and how worthless it is
let's have a completely ego free relationship. let's speak from our inner selves, the part where we ar all connected and balanced and flowing naturally and happily. let's not judge, but accept each other for everything that we are and have become. let's be completely honest with each other and let down our guards and laugh at life and the silly games people play out of their insecurities. let's cut every single informality. let's fart in each others presence.
