I'd like to meet people who are interesting, intelligent, beautiful, kind, compassionate, interested in what I'm interested in, etc. I'm not looking for anything, really. I want to become good friends with my new roommates, enjoy my job relationships, etc. Otherwise, I'm open about who I meet - that is what makes life interesting to me. I can sit down at a cafe with someone I don't know - may never see them again or they may become a good friend - but I'm the type of person who likes to just get to know people and what they're about. But, like I said, I can only handle so much chit chat - I like getting to the bottom of everything.
Jazz (love Yoshi's), Radiohead, Maroon 5, Tool, System of a Down, Pink Martini, Music from the East, Classical Piano, Folk, Punk (What happened to Subincision?), Funk and Soul. I play guitar, piano and sing.
Any Woody Allen film ever made. French films like Amelie. Independent films. Political documentaries or films. Occasionally a light comedy, if it's not horrid. I'm sort of a film snob.
Unfortunate, yet necessary. Love That 70's Show. I usually watch House MD, Without a Trace, Cold Case Files, L.A. Law and NYPD Blue.But it's sad to watch too much TV.
Dostoevsky, Joyce, Orwell, Lawrence, Morrison, McCourt, Poetry (e.e. cummings, Sappho, Burning with a Vision-Poetry of the Science and the Fantastic, etc.)...Dark moral landscapes or philosophical explorations. I liked The Dancing Wu Li Masters, The Universe in a Nutshell, Black Holes and Time Warps (basically, lay-person physics books).
The Buddha, Ghandi, MLK, etc. (I guess)I don't really have any heroes...
