I mostly watch independent films but can appreciate some of the larger budget productions that make you think and/or laugh. I also love good horror flicks, not the cheesy one's with the thoughtless, predictable endings.
Not big into TV because most shows follow the reality TV formula, not exactly creative. But I do love 24...I love you Jack Bauer!!! Extreme Makeover - Home Edition (it makes me cry every time!), Scrubs, Will & Grace, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Arrested Development.
Currently reading The Road Less Traveled, an amazing psychotherapeutic book I got in the self help section. I am not ashamed :) I would recommend it to anyone who cares about growing mentallly and spiritually. Also love A Clockwork Orange, Running with Scissors, Their Eyes were Watching God, To Kill a Mockingbird, In Cold Blood, Me Talk Pretty One Day, etc...
God, my mother, my father, my sisters, my best friend Lindsey, Jesus Christ, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Ghandi, Dalai Lama, Bob Marley..sound familiar (see who I'd Like to meet)
