Music, bass guitar, film, art, painting, health, new things, people watching, somber, reading, anything absurd, mornings, space, the beach, yoga, soccer, snorkeling, traveling, thinking, those deep, exestensial, meaningful conversations you have with people sometimes, surfing, fornication, retro stuff, history, that odd tired feeling and other stuff.
People who are intelligent, ambitious, can carry conversations, mean what the say and say what they do. Pro no drama. People who aren't afraid to speak their minds and yet have their minds listen. Folks who have some sort of care or passion; do'ers. Strong thinkers but not to extremes. People who don't get caught up in everday life. People who live without routine or excuse. Musicians of any knid. People who have life experience. Active folks who like to go out to the beach or walk in the woods or whatever. People of other races and cultures; I need more variety in my friends. People who have a lot of similar interests to me, however, are the complete foil to me. People who are comedically cynical and yet still have hope for the future. People who like abstract and absurd things. A nice young girl who will challenge me, inspire me and be a partner in crime. Just a regular ol' chic for that part of life and whatever it may hold. Positive people. People who have a grip on what reality is and what is really happening in the world but realize they aren't doomed to it as long as they work for change. Folks who can help me see me dreams. People who want to travel. Musicians of any kind. REAL people. My musical and artistic heroes-of which are many.
