Not procrastinating is overrated.
I'd like to meet:
Am I happy? Probably not. Having passed the prescribed biblical age limit, I have to think of death, and I do not like the thought. There is a vestigial fear of hell, and even of purgatory, and no amount of rereading rationalist authors can expunge it. If there is only darkness after death, then that darkness is the ultimate reality and that love of life that I intermittently possess is no preparation for it. In face of the approaching blackness, which Winston Churchill facetiously termed black velvet, concerning oneself with a world that is soon to fade out like a television image in a power cut seems mere frivolity. But rage against the dying of the light is only human, especially when there are still things to be done, and my rage sometimes sounds to myself like madness. It is not only a question of works never to be written; it is a matter of things unlearned. I have started to learn Japanese, but it is too late; I have started to read Hebrew, but my eyes will not take in the jots and tittles. How can one fade out in peace, carrying vast ignorance into a state of total ignorance?

I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus
With tigery stripes, and a face on it
Round as the moon, to stare up.
I want to be looking at them when they come
Picking among the dumb minerals, the roots.
I see them already-the pale, star-distance faces.
Now they are nothing, they are not even babies.
I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.
They will wonder if I was important.

A paradoxical thing about making comedy is that it is precisely the tragic which arouses the funny...We have to laugh due to our helplessness in the face of natural forces and in order not to go crazy.

People with contagious Smiles! Like B and Kev and Avery
Anyone - everyone, I love people and I love to talk. I don't have weird hidden motives I would expect that I'm not of much interest to those that do.

I Love People that can see something horribly Tragic and see something Beautiful within it. The same people are always the ones that actually do something about it.
I Love people that laugh and aren't afraid to be exactly who they are and say so.
I love to wait in long lines so I can hear what people are talking about and guess things about the ones just standing there.

Books:
I LOVE to READ. I'm all over the place with my likes. Sylvia Plath, JT LeRoy (or whothefuckever),Dalinger, Steinbeck, Faulkner, Milton, Augusten Burroughs, William Burroughs -Elie Wiesel, Frank McCourt, Hunter S. Thompson, Dostoyevsky, Lots and lots and lots of books on Buddhism...the best beginner book, in my opinion, if anyone happens to be interested is Buddhism Made Simple by Steve Hagen. If you read it through you cannot walk away without enlightenment.
I read about three books a week - so I'll try to start a favorites list.
