I'd like to meet:

People who have passion for life, thinkers, dreamers, are creative, can be laid back as well as spontaneous, open minded, quirky, eccentric, and the like. It wouldn't hurt to also hang out with the likes of Johnny Depp, Christopher Lee, Kevin Smith, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Samuel Jackson, Carlos Casteneda, Siddartha the Buddha, Black Elk, Deepak Chopra, Christopher Penczak, David Bowie, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eddie Izzard, Ronnie James Dio, Marc Bolan, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Iggy Pop, the Dalai Lama, Al DiMeola, Barack Obama, Thelonious Monk, Joshua Redman, a really cool tribe elder, too many others to mention right now.

Music:

most metal, old and new goth, industrial, all rock and roll, glam, soul, garage, new wave, rockabilly, surf, punk, post-punk UK rock, traditional jazz, celtic, tribal, experimental, flamenco, classical, acoustic, really anything that catches my ear.

Movies:

most Depp movies, Tim Burton flicks, some Japanimae, old horror movies (Dracula, etc, not the slasher films), the Star Wars trilogy will always rule in my books, Lord of the Rings, Alien Quadrilogy, the Indiana Jones movies, anything with Christopher Lee or Vincent Price, really just anything off the wall.

Television:

been cutting back lately but I still have to watch my Science and Discovery channel along with some nature programs. Any weird show be it animated or not, I also like watching NFL football and I watch children's shows with my sons.

Books:

I enjoy mostly the decadent sci-fi worlds of William Gibson, the dark fantasy worlds of H.P. Lovecraft, graphic novels, and the pagan works of a few people including Oberon Ravenheart, Konstantinos, and Christopher Penczak. I have a thing for old dictionaries. weird huh? A good biography, I own quite a few books on the paranormal, wicca, and the like.

Heroes:

I'd make a really cool Green Lantern.
