putting words on the page, movies, comic books, DJing, drawing, insomnia, anime, design & details, playing piano, marathon poker nights, reading The New Yorker and Newtype, cooking, fine dining and exploring restaurants, tennis, deep thoughts over boba, late night donut runs, reading the first 5 pages to every book in the fiction section of Barnes & Noble (Westwood location), giving standing ovations to those ushers who introduce the movies at Arclight, hiking, watching other people smoke hookah, searching for poetry in gutters, cross country driving (and stopping at every DQ), traveling to Africa, explosives, The Drake Equation, surrealism, colliding particles, escape artistry, Dadaism hidden in fluxus...
