In no particular order: Chemistry, Tai Chi and Chi Gong, Off-roading or "mud slangin'" as we say in oklahoma, frisbee and footbagging (hacki-sack), fair trade,learning, wierdness, expatriating from the U.S., the conventions and inventions of modern language, travel, camping, singing, harmonica, painting, occult knowledge, maintaining lifelong friends, sustainable/minimalist lifestyles and practices, maximization of time for idle lounging, humility, political activism, scuba diving, distance bicycling or just riding a road/safety bike in general, chess, cooking, irony. Health and vitality. Transcendental meditation, “herbalismâ€, learning from other cultures, questioning, disappearing.
Everyone. But let's face it... there just isn't time. Real people for sure. Probably not anyone over the internet. I don't know. I get along fabulously with hippie musicians, friendly spirits, the mentally “impairedâ€, the elderly, animals, scientists, people who suggest wild impossible scenarios in passing conversation, and the fashion concious (they see me as a challenging case study). I enjoy others' sense of style, so if you've got any, it goes a long way with me, but a preoccupation with appearance will turn me off very quickly. I mean real style. Originality. I want to meet people who want to hang out spontaneously, play games or sports, jam music, hop in the car for an impromptu weekend camping nearby, or just do outrageous unheard of things in general. Also, true honesty goes far with me. If you simply say what you mean and follow through with whatever you said, you will likely catch my notice because this seems to be rare nowadays. Too many people feign a willingness to do something just to temporarily impress or avoid awkwardness. Know yourself better than that. My feelings are not easily hurt. I like the people who ask the real questions, and those who aren’t afraid of the real answers. Also, I love to meet masters. I don’t say “I want†to meet them, but when they come into my life I tend to become fond and admire them endlessly. Masters of anything.
I can say a lot more about what I don't like than what I do, but here are some samples of both: I like old 60's & 70's Classic Rock, early 90's and modern Indie Rock, rap and hip-hop, classical, afro-worldbeat and other folkloric music from around the world, and a lot of other wierd eclectic shit. I don't like punk or metal very much ....and I can only dig country if it's folky. Blues and Jazz are classic. Golden Oldies from the 50’s and 60’s are awesome. Beatles, Led Zep., Ween, Sublime. I love flamenco music! Most pop music after the mid-eighties bores me. Anything that is original and from the soul will captivate me. My favorite music, though, is lyrical. There’s a warm spot in my heart for the rhyme of speech. When I can, I'm making my own music, whether I suck at it or not you are welcome to decide! Other than that, I have to say I love the music of the trees and the wind, and of the sun and the birds, and of the whales and the frogs.

is evil trying to suck you into other peoples fantasies! I will watch if there is some pant-pissing hilarity on there, but generally I grew up without a TV and haven't seemed to need one in my adult life. TV's are too heavy to be lugging around anyway.
Dictionary. International spy thrillers by Eric Ambler (especially "A Coffin for Dimitrios"-- I highly recommend this one). Other than that I'm usually reading textbooks or other non-fiction. I hate the physical act of reading though. Moving the eyes back and forth!... way too repetitive an activity for such an easily distracted mind!
