Oh, my Mark 4 is pretty sweet too.
I'd like to meet:
People that believe in a better tomorrow and are willing to take actual steps to make it happen.
Now what does that mean, really? Well, here's one thing ...
If you're easily offended, I'm probably not compatible with you!
All right, with that said, I'd like to meet more people that are interested in a better tomorrow not just for themselves, but for their friends, family, and the world at large. And that's a tall order with all the wars we have going on. We have a war on drugs, a war on poverty, a war on terrorism, a war on terrorism, oh, I already mentioned we have a war on terrorism, right? But I've found the more we focus on fighting against the things we don't want, they faster they come. Do you know why that is? That's the secret of life right there and some people know it already and it shows in their lives. Other people attract bad luck and negativity in their lives and I'm ok with meeting people like that as long as you're somewhat aware of it and are working on fixing that. But they say 85 - 90% of families are basically negative thinkers so with that said, it is really no wonder that 1% of the people control 96% of the wealth in the country.
I'd really like to meet more of the other 10% so we can network and help make all of our lives more fun and enriching! Doesn't that sound fun? Maybe you'll become one of those people just by reading this little blurb. Hey, weirder things have happened.

In high school and the 5 years past that I listened to mostly Classic Rock. In 1989-90, I largely made the switch to modern rock (Live 105 for you San Francisco types) and in 1991 I went to my first rave at 1015 Folsom when it was a ratty old untrendy club. I'll never forget those days and years that followed after. It's largely dead now, but there are still little collectives that you can go out and still be part of a larger family.
These days, I'm discovering band music again, and I feel and hope that we're coming on a time again where band (I mean rock and acoustic) music becomes more interesting and creates music that will stand the test of time like the best of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and all the other 60's and 70's bands did.
Let's cross our fingers! Our society really needs an infusion of culture right now.
