I'd like to meet:
Boys and bois of all types; girls with claws and teeth; people who understand contradictions and revel in paradox; anyone who does what they love; women who can be sentimental and raving mad, mean and sweet in equal measure; those who inspire both fear and love; humans who don't think gender or sexuality are polar or concrete; pirates, rogues, Indians, outlaws, master criminals, rotten schoolboys; the brilliant and worldly, the shy and introspective; thinkers and playmates; those who are not quite what they seem; ladies who appreciate good manners and courtesy but can accept a little impish fun and can be charmed; powerful grown-ups with inner children; friends who understand that love is not an option, but a life force; androgynes and the gender-fluid; those who find good conversation as necessary and nourishing as breathing; people who are willing to close their eyes and leap, without knowing if the swimming pool has water in it.

Movies:
Scott VanPala - The Potato Gun
In this short controversial film, Scott VanPala takes you on a chaotic yet adventurous journey with a powerful and destructive Potato Gun. He illustrates how he made his using nothing more than hairspray and pvc pipe from Home Depot using gift certificates he got for Christmas. He then demonstrably shows the various, and perhaps irresponsible, uses of shooting vegatables long distances. At halftime, he takes a break to show the many benefits gun ownership has had for society. PLUS - See him crash through a window in a Honda to finish a job that the spud shooter couldn't. AND - Watch the way propane propels tuber out of a Potato Cannon and the subsequent explosion. Enjoy.

Television:
The West Wing. Dexter. That's pretty much it. I don't have the patience. Occasionally Top Chef. Currently: MI-5. That show is the bomb. Pardon the pun, but it has to be said. I haven't been this turned on by death and destruction (and hot women causing both)since La Femme Nikita.
