I've recently decided that I want to learn to play the violin. And take dance lessons (resume tap & ballet; start tango, salsa, merengue, hip hop). I want to start drawing, painting, and playing the drums again. And finally buy that damn digital camera. Oh yeah, I'd also love to travel and live & learn in foreign countries for a while (that's where the camera comes in handy). Spots on my hit list: Italy, England, France, China, Japan, Chile, Argentina & BRAZIL! This will require money. Vast quantities of money. Money which I currently do not, nor will I probably ever have... Mmf. Better take this slow...

I'm also a mass media junkie! Kinda makes my long terms goals--like changing the world by writing, directing, and producing my own movie(s), writing the next great American novel, as well as conveying subversive anti-establishment messages in original yet fun texts-- a little hard. Jeez... why don't I just paint the entire Brooklyn Bridge with a mascara brush??? Sounds easier...

Musicians, artists, writers, performers, scholars & intellectuals. Pop culture whores (like myself). People who are inspired, can talk about anything and everything for hours on end, are both passionate and compassionate, who also want to change the world, have varied interests and can teach me something new, are great listeners... mmm... oh yeah! People who aren't evil. Yeah, that's always a plus. Snobs, you can go home. Who needs ya?
