Typically my friends are anyone athletic, anyone into live music, anyone who can breakdance, anyone who does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, anyone with a passion in life, and anyone who's watched Office Space, Clerks and Fight Club one too many times to work someplace they don't like without starting a mutiny or becoming a corporate espionage contact for the competition.
One thing my friends list can always use more of, it's people who are into fitness. I'm all about strength and conditioning (mostly for fun these days), and if I could meet several hundred more people who are into performance based fitness, that would be really cool.

Anything live. Mostly rock punk and hip hop. Best show I ever saw was Jane's Addiction. U2 on their Elevation Tour was a close second. I almost got the guitarist for The Donnas to give me her phone number. I dig going to Rise and seeing the kids breakdance. I'll hit a Gothic club from time to time, I was raised on industrial. Lately I've been listening to Kanye, Rhymefest, Lupe Fiasco, and Ludacris. If I had an all time favorite band, it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The prized possession in my music liabrary is the Poncier CD I finally got a hold of after searching for years. Big ups to anyone who knows about Chris Cornell's "Poncier". Right behind that are the the Jack Johnson CD I got Jack to write down the chords for Flake on, and the Donnas CD I almost got the Donnas guitarist to write her phone number down on.
