Peace, listening to music, playing guitar and sometimes bass, singing with my Japanese musician friends, listening to music, makin art, drinkin, educating myself about how f**ked the world is, trying to change the world, doin just about anything outdoors, spinning staff (occasionally with fire), playin soccer even though I suck at that too, Reading Engrish on packaging and T-shirts here in Japan...I'm sure I missed something, but that's the sort of thing I'm into.
Music
I once tried to list all the bands I love and couldn't do it. I love music and appreciate all genres for what they are. Music is music I love it for the expression of individualism and all that idealistic crap.

HUGO CHAVEZ ELECTED PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA IN 1998, IS A COLORFUL,
UNPREDICTABLE FOLK HERO, beloved by his nation's working class and a
tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that would see him
deposed. Two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace on April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly removed from office. They were also
present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power amid cheering aides. Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived coup d'état. It's a unique document about political muscle and an extraordinary portrait of the man The Wall Street Journal credits with making Venezuela "Washington‚s biggest Latin American headache after the old standby, Cuba."
America, From Freedom to Fascism
The American Middle Class is shrinking. Why?
College tuition at private schools have risen on average by about 250-300% over the last 15 years but are NOT factored into the cost of living index. Why?
Corporate America is outsourcing high paying jobs Why?
Real Estate Price increases are outpacing salary increases but are NOT factored into the cost of living index. Why?
Americans need to go into debt to opay for their basic material needs. Why?
Our dollar has lost 35% of its value since 2001. Why?

The Part of You That No One Sees
You are balanced, peaceful, and sincere.
You're the type of person who goes along to get along.
And you're definitely afraid of rocking the boat.
Underneath it all, you fear your world falling apart.
You'll put up with a situation that you don't like in fear of changing it.
Disruptive and forceful people intimidate you - and sometimes exploit you.
Who I'd like to meet: President Bush in hell so I can punch him in the face, chill people, musicians, people livin in Japan who are chill and fun to be with, musicians that don't suck, anyone who is interested in helping me open a live house cafe in Japan, artists, people who think, people who care, people who want to make positive change in the world, people who believe in random acts of kindness, people who are honestly honest, people who do what makes them happy but don't cause harm to others, people with the patience to read my lengthy bloggs, open minded people, traveling hippies, and free spirits...
