My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who dance to the beat of a different drummer, who have enough courage to go against what society dictates. People who listen as well as talk. People who love life and aren't afraid to show it. People who are free in their minds and souls, no matter how heavy the chains in which their flesh and bone binds them. People who like my cheesy metaphors.

E.T. and Johnny 5, too.

Books:

Tons of them. Too many to even attempt to list. I own several hundred books, and have a long way to go before I get through them all. Right now I'm reading The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Before that, I read The Brothers Karamazov. I'm not a commie or anything, but I'm getting hooked on those Russian fools. I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew, by Dr. Seuss, is also one of my all-time favs.
