I love a lot: Playing music, going to rockin' rock-n-roll shows, hot chicks, pretty flowers, Girls' Nights, riding on the backs of motorcycles, looking up random information on wikipedia, vibrators, philosophizin', making up random songs about everyday activities and strange people, doing laundry, moments of peace(the few and far between), jumping in, climbing out, making out, fuzzy lil' critters, hiking the vast wilderness of L.A. county and beyond, new developments in astronomy, drinking pots of coffee, drinking bottles of wine, Maker's Mark, the Dodgers, crossword puzzles, modeling in fascinating outfits and positions for my photographer friends, lovin' the ladies, crossing the border, losing sleep, taking hot bubble baths by candlelight with incense burning while listening to Ella Fitzgerald and drinking hot tea, overanalyzing meaningless occurances, the fine art of defiance, establishing my own reality, mocking the mundane, shenanigans of any kind. And bowling...
