Unbroadcast opinion of government and media, the history of human tendencies....movie trailers, comedy, the beach - especially the power and majesty of the tides. And finding out what makes people tick and do what they do.
George Carlin, Gregg Allman, B.B King, Jim Rice, Marilyn Monroe, anyone who gets me and can laugh in the face of adversity, someone who has turned a mole-hill into a mountain, someone who "takes the cake", or anyone whose nickname is "Hydro".
Albertr King, Albert Collins, Walter "Wolfman" Washington, King Curtis, B.B King, Bobby "Blue" Band, The Allman Brothers band, Ambulance L.T.D, Buddy Guy, Wilco, Jupiter Coyote, The White Stripes, Paul Anka, Wilson Pickett, Vinyl, The Black Keys, Morris Day and The Time, Blur, Cokenail, The Marshall Tucker Band, Julian Cope, James Blunt...anything that doesn't pound a techno drum into my head.
The Blues Brothers, Midnight Run, Airplane 2, Stir Crazy, The Deer Hunter, Same Time Next Year, Forrest Gump, The Cannonball Run, 3 O'clock High, And The Band Played On, Rear Window, Rocky I, Rocky II, Stripes, Groundhog Day, Risky Business, Crimson Tide, Outbreak, Seems Like Old Times, His Girl Friday, When Harry Met Sally, Raising Arizona, Big....so many... but overall, something that can make me laugh or cry, or both.
Da Ali G Show, The Family guy, P.T.I, Real Time w/Bill Maher, The Sureal Life, Any Lifetime original movie with a message, The Twilight Zone (the old ones), Taxi - and many other Nick at nite shows, and thanks to my college girlfriend I will check in on my friends in Salem to see how the Days of Our Lives are progressing...oh and the Fox news channel - so I can keep up on my Americana propaganda...and of course the latest show that's sweeping the internet on comedy.com/beta...."Doug & Doug's Fantasy Rules!"
I'm a writer....therefore I do not read much...even though I really should...but I was a "Book-ie" in college, so I hope that counts for something.
Heroes is an overused word these days...but I always had a soft spot for the Green Lantern. Aside from him, anyone that has the courage to chase their dreams even when others say you shouldn't, is a true hero - But overall I believe that true hero's come from within.
