Writing, Singing, Drumming, Laughing, Painting, Photography, Appreciating The Arts, Developing New Creative Roles in My Life, Scary Movies and having Guisef play with My Ears...Ahhhhh...

TONS of tripped out old horror flicks ("The Baby" is my favorite...too many to list). Documentaries and home videos of real people who are NOT aware that they will ever be displayed to mass media.
Love the band. Turn the machine on late at night after xanax and red wine have failed me. If I'm lucky I can catch a racy episode of "Little House on the Prairie." If I'm extra lucky I will dream of being in that little smokey cabin with my righteous and rustic buddy Charles.
Shirley Jackson, H.P Lovecraft, Joyce Carol Oates and Haruki Murakami are my favorite authors but I absolutely LOVE reading private journals and diaries written by unsuspecting civilians who are most likely dead. Oh yeah, hard boiled paperback crimes by the likes of Jim Thompson. Great read as well: "Jim the Boy" by Tony Early. And now I'm hooked on Joey Goebel.
People who can regularly and successfully meditate, keep this ability entirely to themselves, have intense passion for life; and not charge for their knowledge. I'd like to find one of these people and attempt to figure them out.
