Literature, philsophy, languages, acting (both theatre and film), technology, spirituality, psychology, ethnic studies, martial arts (Kajukenbo, Jeet Kune Do, Enshin Itto Ryu Battoujutsu, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu Ninjutsu).
...and learning about or trying anything that I've never experienced before.
People who will make me think, people who will make me see things in a way I've never considered. And you, maybe, if you think you're worth meeting.
