Change.
Smart interesting people, a girl who isn't retarded. People who aren't walking around wearing invisible hand cuffs, smiling about it.
Sandpeople (www.myspace.com/sandpeople check em out sometime, they're amazing). Eminem, 2pac, The Beatles, George Thorogood, classical, Godspeed! You Black Emperor. There's way too many to list.
House of 1000 Corpses, The Devils Rejects, Spirited Away, 28 weeks later, Lucky number slevin, I dunno...
The Shield, Friends, Simpsons. That about covers it.
The Shoemaker, The Sword of Truth series. The dictionary.
Heroes are for people who can't do shit themselves.
