sometimes everything, other times less until I can feel its beauty and/or humor.
Music. Traveling. I still think breasts are a truly magical universal invention
This whole Hawaiian spiritual outlook has really made my life more and more magical more and more of the ma'fuckn time. So I think you would dig it too. Don't be scared.

Nothing for sale, i haven't spent a dime (but I've received some money from it), it's just information on You and Those around You. I've had a blast with it, knowing (or figuring it out later usually) why the daily people i come in contact with are anything but random. It's often extremely funny. Ask me about it if you're curious.
Love as the most powerful dish served in the known universe and something much bigger than the well known romantic entree, like eating itself or something
Words. Like POTENTIALITIES, for example. Great word. There are many others. Like vehemently.
Seeing this world as one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
Hugs.
A variety of shoes and pants to fill as long as they're not too tight, although I am getting more into things that fit as opposed to make me look like I'm preparing for something big. I really like hats, but i think they look much better on other people.
More specifically I'm really into Writing stories, rhymes and music. Also painting, Percussion, Piano, pyramids, and learning new instruments like Prince does.
Savers is really cool.
Also Me like travel and exploration. let's go on a road trip.
more than anyone right now: Tom Bird (I could really benefit from a writing mentor...C: Tom Bird's book for help if you feel you have a book in you, Robin Williams (the fun we'd have together...), Christopher Moore, Tom Robbins, my scooter (where are you beautiful?). More reading, less TV would help our world. Just ask "The Cable Guy." David Bowie, Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Christopher Walken, Will Ferrell, Eddie Izzard, Scarlett Johansson, Zooey Deschanel, the Gyllenhaals, and Jack Black.
Fellow Muppets, the people that are going to be in the sweet band I'll be in someday, the first person to buy the first book I write, and anyone the universe decides i need to meet. If such a thing were possible, it would be nice to give my 5 year old self a talk before school started: don't let the other kids bother you. But like Tom Robbins says in Still Life With Woodpecker: It's Never Too Late to Have a Happy Childhood.

And this woman, whatever sign she is, if true love exists. I'm definitely a true love type romantic, but I also believe we have the opportunity to truly and deeply love a lot of people:
I know I'm not the only one with this constant dream:

Common was on here but is now off the list. Once you use your gifts to hock products you're out of the artistic community forever.

Off is really a smart idea. More reading, less TV would help our world. Just ask "The Cable Guy." But like a lot of things, it helps me to realize everything is here for a reason. I've found these shows to be real gems, gems amid a pile of shit mind you, but gems nonetheless. And on HBO and Showtime there aren't commercials for anything other than for the shows you're already watching.
Simpsons, South Park, Sopranos (yes it's as good as everyone says), Six Feet Under...Showtime has a new one with the guy who plays the gay brother in Six Feet Under as a serial killer who only kills serial killers. And at the right times I love it because i have a really dark sense of humor sometimes.
Over on the cartoon network you got your Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Robot Chicken and Home Movies.......and Jeopardy's pretty cool if you have someone like Alec to watch it with.....or can be consciously schizophrenic and not care.
And there's this new show on ABC called "thank god you're here" that i like. Improv comedy's a serious talent. you just have to use mute for the commercials, or shove forks in your ears or something until you're as numb as a republican. And I do like watching the Suns and Mariners play...and women's beach volleyball. But that's it. TV's the devil.
right now i'm reading LAMB: THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BIFF, CHRIST'S CHILDHOOD PAL, by Christopher Moore. It's fucking hilarious and brilliant and all that.
others...oh lord...I'M A GOOD ONE TO ASK FOR A BOOK RECCOMMENDATION, SO FEEL FREE TO WRITE. I'M PRETTY GOOD AT MATCHING PEOPLE UP WITH GOOD STORIES. I HAVE THAT LIBRARIAN THING.
