The sort of people that I would actually want to meet are people who have something to lose...that may sound evil to some of you, but if so that is just as well. It is meant in a positive and constructive sense, in case you were confused and thought otherwise. Individuals with nothing to lose concern me and I am often uncomfortable when I find myself close to becoming involved with the like...if they have nothing of value of their own, how could you feel that they would choose to value anything of anyone else's? To some degree, people who exhibit risk management skills and have higher than usual standards of integrity. Honesty is an invaluable trait...lets face it, most people are not very honest. We all fudge the truth at times, myself included. That being said, I am basically pretty damn honest...and loyal. I admire people with these qualities, and seek people who possess these traits. Depending on my mood at the time, I may be motivated to accept an invitation to meet up as long as its understood that when you say you want to be my "friend", I don't exactly believe that to be true. Of course it is closer to the truth than any other label that is affixed to interactions between human beings, so I am comfortable to refer to it as such. I just want to be really clear about my expectations (none)of people. Am I perhaps a tad cynical? Yes...unrealistic? Hell,no! Of course, I am human...I want all the same sorts of things that everyone else dreams of finding, but those things be realized through a medium such as this? Its hard enough to imagine it happening at all, don't you think? CIAO!
From Classical to Big Band, Punk to Grateful Dead, just about everything but modern Country Music...just can't stomach that "Achy Breaky" shit. Oh and I don't really care for boy/girl band crap either...no Menudo or Backstreet Boys here, altho I will make an exception for Marky Mark. Major artists that I love are Bauhaus, Peter Gabriel and(Old)Genesis, Outkast, Black Crowes, Live, U2, Smiths, Talk Talk, Gwyn Stephanie, Annie Lennox, Mozart, Tool, Beatles, New Order, Depeche Mode, Dave Matthews, The Dead, Neil Young, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, David Bowie, Audioslave, Pink Floyd, Cocteau Twins, and more....
I don't really watch T.V. with the exception of the occasional Jerry Springer episode and the History Channel...I really don't watch it, but I listen to it as a constant backdrop. The other stuff I only check out under certain circumstances, like I am stuck in a hotel room or something. THE ONE SHOW THAT I LOVE MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY: DEADWOOD on HBO, which of course is now kaput! I can not tell you the profound impact that show had upon me and my life-I am still in denial about it ceasing to be. My newest saying is: "WHAT WOULD AL DO?" GOD how I love that show... anyone who hasn't checked it out is seriously missing out on a spectacular experience! Get it on DVD and watch it closely, rewind and make sure you caught it all- I still am discovering its nuances and I have watched all 3 seasons start to finish at least 2 times now. Ian McShane is absolute genius as Al Swearengen... I'll be Trixie to his Al ANY GODDAMNED DAY!!
Watership Down, The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Catcher in the Rye, The Chronicles of Narnia, so many more I can't even begin to list....
God I just realized how out of date this is: aside from my #one (who is now my one and only), I am SO OVER whatever it was that I was going through before!! Heroes? I don't really have many people that I look up to...that is what is seriously lacking in the world today. Well, one of the things at least. My remaining hero is the official myspace stalker...my truest friend in this online 'hood--my hot letter-writing, online fantasy fuck buddy, and all around positive energy source: number one "top friends" position goes to my Darling Norman, and belongs to him for all of time.There is one other person in my life whom deserves mention... this person I will not name, but it isn't difficult to figure out his identity. Doubt and mistrust obscure his understanding of what I feel for him... he cannot see my heart or the love therein.
