staying out late, coffee, people-watching, documenting my life in pictures, places that are open 24 hours, karaoke, the rubes, Starbucks, reading, playing guitar, live bands, driving aimlessly, scenic design, art, puppies, improvisational comedy, "The daily show" anchors, sleeping, insomnia, being in bands that never rehearse, recording music, bright green, dance parties, "kick backs", road trips, skeeball, people who come in through the window(Sam!), Johnny Depp, painting, photomanipulation, Germany, German accents, London, taking trains/ subways, my cell phone, singing, "Please act shocked that I'm a granddad" T-shirt, people that ask me if I really AM a grandpa when I wear that T-shirt, going to Disneyland and observing the stupidity of children, pic-nics, speaking other languages, losing track of time, . . .
I'd like to meet:
An asian acupuncturist with an unmistakable scottish accent, a chin you could park a bike in and who can't read english.
