Skipping down the hallway at work. observing people. overdosing on self help info, and wide ranges of random knowledge. learning things, just enough to know a chunk about them, then moving on to something else (AKA halfasstedness) (AKA well-readeded). Writing. Reading. Evolving. Inventing things like the food fence. shhhh...still seeking a patent on that one. (sorry James)
Someone who would give me a million dollars, anonymously. OK.. I would also like to meet folks who like to talk and take action on things that really matter. People who make change happen. People who do things regardless of fear. People who might be afraid or maybe not, but still stand for what is just and what they believe in. Maybe we cannot change the world, but we can change ourselves. We can be the best that we can be. We can make a difference, and no matter how great or small it may seem to another, that is what matters...isn't it? Oh, and I'd like to just get together with some folks, eat some circus peanuts, and listen to some Coltrane, or even the Bee Gees. I'm Just sayin....OH, I would have loved to meet Roger Troutman:) I miss all of the great music that he made, that we just didn't get to hear yet...

Ali G, Oz, Soul Food, Documentaries. Well, come to think of it, I'm truly digging PBS right now. Basically cause I am super smart, and well, also, it's really the only channel that comes in that I can see and hear at the same time. Ok, for real, my T.V. is smaller than my computer screen, ok?
