My Interests

Laughter and applause (my two favorite sounds) , Traveling, People-watching, Banging on a piano or guitar and pretending music comes out of it, Acquiring random facts and other useless bits of trivia, Food, Cirque, Rock-climbing, Bungee jumping, Comedians, Dancers, Acrobats, NASCAR, Seeing people fall down, Live performances of just about any kind, My 67 Cutlass Supreme, and of course, a good magic trick.

What Annoys Me:

Traffic; Being late; People who aren't really listening to you, they're just waiting for the chance to speak; George W.; People who don't know how to properly pronounce the word "nuclear"; Losing my temper; Ryan Seacrest; Bad teeth; People with no sense of humor; Getting sick; and the fact that LA bars close at 2am.

I'd like to meet:


Creative individuals that don't always take themselves too seriously; good people who can be bad once in a while; those with open minds who can close off the rest of the world when they choose to; the ones who can laugh hard and often, save the drama and acting for the stage, and dork out in public...

...and Michael Jackson so I can ask him what the fuck he was thinking.

Music:

I have an embarrassingly broad collection of music in my ipod, so let me just put it this way... I like anything that inspires me to: create, drive faster, run farther, bob my head, unconsciously tap my foot, sing in the shower, attempt to re-create it on the guitar, move in such a way that could be loosley construed as "dancing," or just plain get jiggy wit' it. ...and by "jiggy" I mean "boots," and by "get" I mean "knockin'."
