I'd like to meet:
You, maybe. Probably not, but who knows? Are you relatively awake? Are you aware of yourself as a conscious participant in this puppet show? If so, I really want to meet you.

Movies:
I like "Napoleon Dynamite," "King Kong," "V for Vendetta," "Equilibrium," everything from Joss Whedon and anything that stars Schwartzenegger or Vin Diesel.

Books:
Everything written by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Jack Vance, Michael Bishop, Dave Barry, Gael Baudino, Charles De Lint, Steven Pinker and Sarah Zettel. I have written two novels: "Something Fishy" and "Raccoon's Law," and many short stories and articles. I read lots of non-fiction, mostly History and Human Psychology. I recommend Alan Watts and Lao Tze. I especially recommend, "The Emotional Lives of Animals" by Marc Bekoff," a remarkable book.

Yeshuvah (the man the Christians call Jesus), Gautama Buddha, Thomas Jefferson, Baltasar Gracián Y Morales, Rosa Parks, Bob Hoover, Nicole Tesla, Albert Einstein, Emanuel Velikovsky, Baba Ram Dass and Alan Watts. Anybody who resists the further communization and homogenization of the formerly great United States of America.
