I like everything weird and beautiful.
I have a little problem with sticking to one thing. As a child, I spent a lot of time drawing and painting. Then I lost the patience for it and started writing. Then I got lonely and started acting (bunch of plays, a couple of films). Then I started writing plays. And then I got a copy of Sonic Foundry Acid 4.0 and did some music. And then I produced plays. And then I got hooked on Photoshop for a bit. Then I got a copy of Flash MX and started animating (check it out: www.thegreatbaluba.com), and now I'm back to writing, but I want to get one of those drawing tablets for the computer so I can do more digital shit (I can't draw with a mouse because I'm left handed), but now I'm almost thirty and I'm not anywhere close to making a living doing any of these things and I'm cutting meat again but I'm in this weird land called ASHEVILLE and... AND...
Anyway...
I'd like to meet:
Bjork, Jackie Chan, a millionare who will give me lots of money with no strings attached... a few strings would be fine. But like, you know, small strings. Don Knotts (I think he's dead), a Shaolin Monk, a ninja, some dude who lived in the woods for a long time, the man, Dave Chappelle, the guy who has all the answers, and Chairman Kaga.

I spend a lot of time watching TV.
A little note: I used to spend a lot of time watching TV. I can't now. No cable.

I don't "read" much. Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter are about it. And I read Wicked. Good shit.
