Waves, sun, salt, rhythms, mystery, hazel eyes, water, adventure, the opposite of certainty and definition. New freedoms, old freedoms rediscovered. The horizon. My two daughters fascinate and amaze me. I am inordinatley and irrationally attracted to girls called Helen. I dislike Eric Clapton intensely. . Human potential. Expanding my limits. Love. Some cosmic stuff. learning, learning, learning. Poetry, Jazz. GTOs, Muscle cars.
I'd like to meet:
People who are inspired and generous with their genius. Pretty girls. Fire-eaters. Sailors. Survivors. Naifs. People from France. People who have read every Dr Seuss book. Jazz musicians, opera singers,acrobats, Volkswagen owners, astronauts, poets, opressed peasantry, Willie Nelson, a kangaroo, people convicted on circumstantial evidence, followers of the light, denizens of the darkness, professional thieves, calabrese hardheads, tattooed ladies, Zeppelin pilots, Roy Orbison's ghost, tellers of tales, lost faithhealers, the quiet ones you never suspect, Lennie Briscoe, the guy on the platform of the Railway Station on 30th St in Philly, when I was a kid, who used to yell out, at the top of his voice, that Jesus was coming. Those kinds of people. And you. Especially you.
Movies:
Goldfinger. That's about it. It's the only movie you ever need to see.
This is Dutch actress Kim Van Kooten. I have the most pathetic crush on her right now.
Television:
TV is a pox on humanity. Although I do love Futurama. See my "books" section if you want to learn more about me.....
