Playing Guitar, writing music, checking out shows, Almost is Nothing, intelligent or unique conversation discluding bullshit small talk that everyone talks about, sharing nihilistic and hopeless viewpoints with others. Writing poetry/lyrics, listening to music. Meeting new/interesting/smart/thinking people. Dark Imagery.
I'd like to meet:
Other music junkies(like myself). Anyone that may inspire me musically or in thought. Anyone striving for change and willing to speak out. Hip-hop producers/emcees in the portland area. People to make ambient/experimental/noise music with in the area as well. The guy who created the delay pedal. God, Jesus Christ, Buddha, the Dalai Lama, a Shaman, any higher power. I'd like to jam out with John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan, dimebag darrell(come back as a zombie fucker!!), Mike Portnoy, Mono, Danny Carey, Abe Cunningham, Josh Freese, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin 1973 era, Isis, Mogwai. I wouldn't mind meeting Gandhi, Karl Marx, Noah Levine, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, George Orwell, probably some others, but most of all, a normal person so I can finally know what I've been told all of my life of what I am not.
