Travel, sleep, my cat Stella, my niece Riley, my godson Jett, vintage guitars, comic books, cuban food (esp. the fire-roasted corn on the cob), napping, my scooter, record shopping, tacos from Los Cantaros, quiet times on the couch, effects pedals, tube amps, catching some zzz's, turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches, crosswords, dancing the funky chicken in my boxers, korean food, whistling christmas carols, dozing off, going running/staying in shape.
Firecrackers who, as well, take no shit. People that want to know and be known, who are secure (or secure with their inscurities), confident and courteous. Those that enjoy doing random nice things for others. Proud outsiders. Witty, low-key Instant Messenger buddies. Those who can teach me a thing'r'two, but who also want to learn. Human beings with big hearts, preferably worn on the sleeve. Difficult yet reasonable people who give only that which they'd like to receive. Folk who can be a total dorks in public and not give a shit. People who know it's not about having everything, just the right things. Square pegs. Those that grow, strive, achieve. People who see hurdles as challenges, not problems. And lastly, those with a knack for interior design, who'll help me pick out new furniture and redo my apartment!
Oh, and those that sing their own tune, no matter how they're brought up:
