There's far too many, but really not enough. I'll try to keep it brief and to the point(more or less).
I spend some time hanging my hat in the art arena among others. In all its forms, be it paint, photo, print, music, movie, stage. However it's chosen to be expressed. Artists have my thanks for giving what they create to the world, even if it isn't always appreciated or understood.
My family, who keeps (and drives me)(In)sane.
Also, my friends, who actually mean more than they know to me. Even if I can't always be around them (or in the same city), they will always be near and dear to me, distances be damned. And to those I havent met nor seen in what would seem to be a lifetime, I hope you are well.
Okay, those were the big things, here's the small things: Music, movies, comedy, horror, the greatness of Calvin and Hobbes. I love to read, yes, for fun. Comics(geek alert), Going out to any club or bar (as long as it doesn't suck). Playing pool, even if I could use some improvement. I've kind of become addicted to Wikipedia lately too. I enjoy going to various exhibits, when I can find the time of course. Still wanting to do a little of the photography thing as well, though again, when I can find the time. I love to exercise and go for a run, try to go as much as I can throughout the week. Also, to a degree, tattoos, though designing them, being satisfied with the design and getting the money is a process. I love to drive, to learn, to live...though to varying degrees and not always at the same time...well, maybe I do.
Also, I do eagerly await the coming zombie apocalypse...maybe that's what all of this bird flu nonsense will bring about. That should be fun.
I'd like to meet:
Well, if anything,I've always been a sucker for a pretty smile and a piercing gaze.
One thing I have to say...please, unless it's meant to be taken facetiously (dictionary.com), correct english please. It's a little funny and well...sad, really just how mangled the enlish language can become. Especially as it pertains to the internet. Which adds one more thing, I really cannot abide the useless people of this planet (and they seem to be out there in droves). So, if you want to play at your ignorance, by all means, do it elsewhere. There is already a saying about arguing on the internet, a mildly offensive one I might add. So feel free to look it up if you please, Google is only a click away.

Everyone I've met, who's effected me in even the smallest manner. There's always an after effect when our stories cross paths.
As well as everyone I've never meet, briefly met or...have yet to meet. To the first, the next, or the last time, I look forward to it.
To all, my thanks.
