Anyone into prog-rock/prog-metal music, old movies, current events, philosophy and intellectual history. Creative people, musicians, artists, writers, thinkers, poets...Regarding Myspace, someone who has intelligent things to say-I can be forgiving, but I'm also looking for someone who is capable of chatting and interacting, not just adding to friend numbers. I don't have to know you personally, either. That's what this is about for me-interacting with friends or meeting new, interesting people I could not otherwise meet or talk with. Always like having a beer and talking with anyone who comes to a Sacred Society gig! Frederich Nietzche,Ayn Rand,Groucho Marx,Beethoven, Noam Chomsky, and John Lennon.
