Hmmm...
Any way-
Real people, those with flesh and bone that are aware that they bleed and can make others bleed by a single thought. I look forward to those that can sit there and have a decent conversation and not penalize someone for being different. We are all unique, and although we are all flawed, it takes a strong person to admit that. If you can't admit it, you haven't any care for enlightenment.I like people that enjoy being shaken up a little when the truth is pointed obviously to and around them. I like people to take away something from an experience. I like people to actively have an experience than wait around for someone else to guide them to it. It's one thing to compromise in order to meet goals in the middle, and for that I respect you, and then there's just letting someone do all the work for you so you can reap the benefits--no offense, this is a very unfortunate existence, and therefore must not be capitulated when one has two hands and feet?
It's good to mind a rest, but better to mind ones self. Then we can be more useful to everybody, including ourselves.
When you just need one more.....
Which art style best reflects your personality?
Surrealism
This art movement is Dreamy, Imaginative, Deep and Subliminal. Much different than the others, these artists wanted others to see normal day things differently. You're probably someone who's always thinking. Someone who always has something on their mind. I'm sure quite often, you get lost in your thoughts. You may be someone who questions things a lot and you may stand out from the crowd. That's not always a bad thing. The observer and the dreamer can have the deepest souls.

Music:
Music to my ears would be George Carlin telling the American Government what he REALLY thinks of them. That and him being the narrative truth of these times.

I also admire my grandparents for being part of the Great Generation that made it through the tribulations of WWII. They existed with absolutely nothing but their resolve and survived. Their lives were indundated by circumstance and the choices they made, difficult and almost life-threatening as it may have seemed, allowed them to create perseverance that is legendary in my mind's eye.
