I'd like to meet:
tom waits. jackie kennedy. the dalai lama. joseph campbell. javier bardem.
long-lost friends (past, present and future!). people who can laugh about life as well as themselves every now and then...conversationalists.
open-minded, creative, adventurous types, who don't mind turning their backs on convention to make their own rules. those with (com)passion and sincerity, intelligence & playfulness. mystics, artists, thinkers, merrymakers and modern-day poets. people who nourish both their bodies and souls, who seek to create rather than destroy/self-destruct.
Unless we know each other, I've decided not to add people as "friends" here without first having some sort of correspondence or interaction, so please don't even try to add me before sending a note. **Bands/Musicians that I really enjoy may be exempt from this...yes, I'm just full of contradictions.**
