I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm always happy to meet new people but I am not a collector of internet-only hotties and don't need hundreds of "friends" to validate my existence. My friends are people who possess some quality I admire and/or inspire me to become a better person.
So... whatcha got?

Music:

The Roots, Sage Francis, Radiohead, Public Enemy, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Tom Waits, Portishead, Modest Mouse, Aesop Rock, Josh Martinez, Murs, Dose One, Primus, Atmosphere, MF Doom, P.O.S., Bob Dylan, Elysian Fields, Damien Rice, Nine Inch Nails, Curtis Mayfield, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, early-mid 90's Boyz II Men, Prince, Queen, Eric Clapton, BB King, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, James Brown, The Temptations, Otis Redding, etc. etc.

Movies:

The Usual Suspects, The Godfather, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, anything by Martin Scorsese, the Coen Brothers, Darron Aronofsky, Wes Anderson or written by Charlie Kaufman. Nothing by Quentin Tarantino, Oliver Stone or Ang Lee.

Television:

The Simpsons, The Sopranos, The Wire, Entourage, Scrubs, The Daily Show and Colbert Report, Lost, Studio 60, Heroes, tons of sports and lots of canceled shows: The Job, Undergrads, Dead Like Me, West Wing, The Critic, The Tick, Arrested Development. No "reality," no game shows, no prime time soaps and no procedural crime dramas.

Books:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Catch 22, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Absolute at Large, Kurt Vonnegut, David Sedaris. No Harry Potter, Hemingway or E. Annie Proulx.
