------------------------------------------------

HEROS: Yugi Moto; J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter, and early Bugs Bunny.



Oh, all right then: Emperor Norton, Thomas Szasz, Wilhelm Reich, Nikola Tesla, Rosa Parks,, Patrick Henry, Buckminster Fuller, Bill Maher,Tim Leary, James Joyce, Robert Shea, Robert Anton Wilson, Philip K. Dick, Baba Ram Dass, Salvadore Dali, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Mae West, Christopher Walken, UltraDeb, John Lilly, Leonardo deVinci, Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Heinlein, Richard Feynman, Giordiano Bruno, Eleanor of Acquitaine, the current Dali Lama, Milo Rambaldi, a too-soon-deceased friend from my youth named Kathy, and Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (Maybe this should be more of a weekend party/think tank... and I guess I should invite Douglas Addams to bring the translator fish...)
-------------------------------------------------
Bookseller, Holy Man-Shit-Head, eBay huckster, Casandra-esque futurist, Discordian Pope, human-being-without-portfolio.
-------------------------------------------------
I am just your basic stock model jeans & flannel shirt 420-loving not-entirely-ex hippie kinda guy (with some nice under-the-hood freelance evolutionary intelligence agent/spiritual warrior retro-fits), who generally finds more in common with sub- & counter-culture types than with the mainstream.
-------------------------------------------------
I browse personals ads for signs of intelligent life, write, sell stuff on eBay, indifferently attempt home repair, believe seven impossible things before breakfast (and even more before I wake up...), prefer Coke Zero & enjoy walking my doggies inna park.
-------------------------------------------------
I'M REALLY GOOD AT: The lost art of diagraming sentences. Basic non-fancy cooking (I can even bake a cherry pie...). Getting along with animals. Surviving on peanut butter and jelly. Editing text. Holding contradictory paradigms simultaneously. Remembering useless trivia. Forgetting names. Sleeping. Misplacing things I had in my hand just a second ago.
-------------------------------------------------
I am sex-positive, open-minded, test regularly & personally het. Pagan-friendly and not easily shocked. I tend to find myself involved with intelligent & complicated women. (A good thing, but never an entirely unmixed blessing...!) The most amazing and wonderful partners I've ever had have almost always been bi women. (Aside: Any thoughts on why that might be...?)

=================================================

TURNOFFS:Empathic indifference, bigotry, scorn[as opposed to witty sarcasm], willful ignorance, a curdled soul, blithe cultural chauvinism, possessive jealousy, skindeep depth, mindless rigidity, lack of selfrespect & habitual manipulativeness.

==================================================

==================================================

TURNONS: Willing flesh, a lively mind, a shining heart, intelligence, creativity, kindness, empathy, beauty, skill, independence, an open mind, liveliness, passion, lack of inhibition & anyone who can say something interesting about anything.[I should maybe want to know someone dull unattractive mean rigid inarticulate clingy & passionless?]

Extra points to an animal lover (I have a remarkable all-white Akita/shepherd hybrid, a young spritely brown shepherd & several wily cats.) Worth mentioning--a little shameless lack of inhibition never hurts...!
