"Grady never showered or followed directions" - Muffin Zangria (I've never been summed up better!)
The arts; music, painting, photography, dance, whatever. I'm all for true artistic expression in whatever form it takes. I hate censorship. Bass of course, reading, a little bit of TV, CARS, I do love me some of the automotive world.. The Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Nothing else really matters after that.
Anyone who puts others before themselves.
Anyone who inspires people, even if they're just being themselves.
People who try to make the world better.
I'd like to meet more friends in the Dharma.
I'd love to meet Steffan Lessard, Victor Wooten, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Steve Page, Ed Roberts, Jim Creeggan, Jon Stewart.
