Movies, music, reading, traveling, popular culture, the deconstruction of sub-cultures, semantics, storytelling, taking photos, clinging to ideology, making people uncomfortable, writing, avoiding strangers, talking all kinds of shit, fixating on death, playing basketball, eliminating ritual and routine when it only serves to mask weakness, kittens, dangerous curves, stickers, reveling in my dog's attractiveness, other stuff...
Intelligent life. folks who know how to tell a story. people who resent hippies and dogmatics, people who do and don't talk, as opposed to those who talk and don't do. good folks who are weary of bland chit chat in all it's grotesque forms. people who like the word grotesque. and anyone and everyone who is not self-obsessed, or convinced of the righteousness of their chosen cause or sub-group.
