I don't like salesmen who pat me on the back and wink. I like thoughtful, considerate people. I don't like shutting myself off from the world. I've never been drunk. "Forrest Gump" is the silliest movie I've ever seen. I wish people would awaken from their passive slumber and start thinking about what's going on around them. I hate it when I sound arrogant. I distrust my political leaders. I think women are beautiful. I wish I could wake up every morning and be awed by nature. Super Bowl halftime shows depress me. I refuse to say "Biggie-size." I don't believe that technological progress is necessarily a good thing, but I'm pleased that Brookstone sells "personal massagers." Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is the greatest song ever. I like the cold side of the pillow, comfortable silence, exploring, ambivalence, pomegranates, the smell of old books, eye contact, talking to strangers, underdogs.
