I'd like to meet:

I want to meet almost everyone.

However, how about a bit on who I would not like to meet:

RACISTS, BIGOTS and HYPOCRITES. You're not welcome here. Get educated, get smart, and maybe I won't think you the scourge of humanity.**

"Studies going back over 50 years have repeatedly arrived at the same conclusion -- racists have lower IQs than non-racists. So, which kind of racist are you: attracted to racism because you're unintelligent or unintelligent and by default a racist? The average IQ of a racist is less than the national average--generally, racists have two-digit IQs while normal people have three-digit IQs. This applies to non-denominational bigots, Nazi skinheads, American Nazis, the oxymoronic Aryan supremacists, Christian Identity fanatics, anti-semites, and other such social rejects."

This research was compiled by "Students Against Racism" and includes data from: Brown, F. (1932). "A sociopsychological analysis of race prejudice." Journal of Abnormal Psychology 27: 364-374.

One of Emily Dickinson's BEST:

This Dust, and its Feature -
Accredited - Today -
Will in a second Future -
Cease to identify -

This Mind, and its measure -
A too minute Area
For its enlarged inspection's
Comparison - appear

This World, and its species
A too concluded show
For its absorbed Attention's
Remotest Scrutiny -

Don't even get me started on Kathy Griffin. SHE IS GENIUS! On her "Suck it, Jesus" Emmy Speech and Senator Larry "not gay" Craig:

I was obsessed with early eighties SNL, but Andy Samberg is a flippin' genius: WTF???

Music:

ZAKK WYLDE IS A GOD: "You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music. The ones who love playing music will always last, the pop stars that only care about being famous or getting a piece of ass always fall by the wayside." "You had better love the music.....because sometimes the music doesn't love you."

MTV Music Videos MTV Shows Entertainment News

Weezer, baby. This is good sh*t! Click above and select the URL to view on MTV.com, yo.

The first two albums I owned were KISS/Love Gun~featuring the Ace vocaled "SHOCK ME"~and Meatloaf/Bat Out of Hell (the original). You CANNOT just listen to wedding fave "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and judge that first Meatloaf album, people (God Bless Phil Rizzuto, however).

I'm also infatuated with female musicians and female bands of all genres, from Vixen, the Puppini Sisters, Joan Jett, Emmylou Harris to Beth Ditto of Goxxip.

I dig all kinds of LIVE music, from my brother's grindcore band~SYSTEM TORTURE (check them out in my top friends)~to most Ozzfest bands, Patty Griffin, and the 1990's New Brunswick, NJ Underground sound. By the way, Buzzkill STILL rules! We thought NB would be the next Seattle after all, right Kimmie?

I LOVE almost all forms of metal including SOAD, Pantera~~RIP Dimebag~~old-school Metallica~~although St. Anger is cool. Don't let me forget SLIPKNOT. Guilty pleasure: Hair Bands. That, and I think I have a serious crush on Eddie Trunk, heavy metal historian extraordinaire.

I grew-up on 70's folk and soft rock, PLUS the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Doors~~thanks, MOM; also 40's era stuff like Glenn Miller and the Mills Brothers~~thanks, DAD.

I love modern folk including Tori Amos~~I'd consider her a bit of punk as well. Also, Damien Rice, Cat Power and more traditional folk like Joan Baez and Harry Chapin. Just discovered some emo stuff like Wilco and Death Cab for Cutie. Good LORD how effing good is that song, "I'll Follow You Into the Dark"? I laugh. I cry. I make it a part of me. It's brilliant.

I can't seem to change the terrestrial radio dial when "Waiting for a Girl Like You" is on. Ditto for "Come Sail Away" * "Thunder Road" * "Take It On The Run" * "I Hate Myself For Loving You" * "Rock Lobster" (very rare to hear that one) * "Baba O'Riley" * "Wrapped Around Your Finger" * "Riders on the Storm" * "I've Been Loving You Too Long" * "Sympathy for the Devil" or any Mamas and the Papas.

Movies:

Early Soderbergh: sex, lies and videotape was my first-ever favorite adult movie. The first R rated films I saw in the theater~thanks to older friends~were Flashdance and Purple Rain...and I still love them. Grease is in there somewhere, as well as Jaws~Robert Shaw RULES! More recently, No Country For Old Men * JUNO * Brokeback Mountain * Napoleon Dynamite * Little Miss Sunshine * LOVED Cloverfield~ OPEN YOUR MIND, PEOPLE! (Blair Witch Project was brilliant during its time, too). Old school Hong Kong and Italian cinema, mofos ~~ American cinema ripped both of them off. * I'm not big on most modern comedies, but I LOVE old school cheese: Summer Rental (God BLESS John Candy) * MEATBALLS (Bill Murray at his post-SNL, goofy best). Of course, anything teen-oriented like Last American Virgin * Sixteen Candles * Pretty in Pink * The Breakfast Club. Dramas like Out of Africa (Robert Redford. Oh Robert Redford) * Fight Club * Godfather I&II * Lost in Translation * The Constant Gardener * The Crow * Almost Famous (what happened, oh sweet Kate Hudson? Why'd ya make crap from there on out?). Oh my, "The Brady Bunch Movie" makes me laugh out loud. Every time.

Television:

WKRP in Cinncinati. OH YEAH! Watch and wait for the payoff.

Nothing beats the Davey Jones episode of "The Brady Bunch". NOTHING!!!!!! But in addition to that: Late Night with Conan O'Brien * Boston Legal Kicks ASS! * 30 Rock * Law and Order: SVU (Chris Meloni is a hottie and I NEVER use the word hottie) * Top Chef * My Life on the D List * Lost * CSI Miami ** ("So the question becomes, Alexx, was the mob sent to draw us to the murder [long, long pause]. . .or to distract us from it? ~~ Cue "Roger Daltry, please: YEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) * Survivor * American Idol (Yes! Guilty pleasure!) * House * anything Flava Flav produces on VH1~~God help me, if there's a hell, I'm goin' in a handbasket * Man, I love Bret Michael's Rock of Love~~Help, really. Help!!!! * RERUNS OF The Golden Girls * Three's Company * Sex and the City * Friends * Mash~~Alan Alda IS God.

"HORATIO!" "H!" Whatever you call yourself, I want to lick your sweet, red-haired booty:
