Pharmaceuticals, Sleep, Art, The inevitable destruction of all mankind when we're cast into the fiery pits of Hell and forced to bow down and worship our Dark Lord & Master LUCIFER for all eternity while we writhe in exquisite pain, Beanie Babies, Care Bears, & My Little Pony...
I'd like to meet:
Jim Osterberg, Polly Jean Harvey, Steven Stapleton, Nick Cave, Cristopher Hitchens, Richard D. James, Gaahl, Jarvis Cocker (who deserves the utmost respect for shoving Michael Jackson onstage @ that awards show) Baby Greaser George & The Rotting Corpses of the entire Bush Administration. I would also like to meet someone, anyone who can convincingly justify why they will pay to repeatedly vote for their favorite piece of shit performer on American Idle (yes, I meant to write Idle) no matter the cost per call, but they don't make the effort to vote for President for free. Or even simply jusify why they give a fuck about any of those shitty contestants (except Clay Aiken, b/c he's dreamy) in the first place without me wanting to rip their tongue out of their skull mid sentence...

There's countless other music I love but my record collection is far too extensive to attempt writing a list of all my favorites. It's impossible to give a realistic taste or cross section of my true musical passions... This is my attempt

Any Jim Jarmusch Movie, Sick, The Five Obstructions, Buffalo 66, The Proclamation, Santa Sangre, Team America World Police, Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story, Hedwig & The Angry Inch, Paris Texas, The Seventh Seal, Jesus' Son, Mon Oncle, The Decalogue, Crossing The Bridge, City Of God, Manufacturing Consent, Haxan, Richard Kern Shorts, Un Chien Andalou, Nick Zedd Shorts, Wings Of Desire, All of The Cristopher Guest Movies, The Saragossa Manuscript, Brazil, 8 1/2, Barfly, Any David Lynch... I could include all of my favorites of the great European, Asian, South American, North American, British, & Australian Directors, but this will start looking like simply A Criterion catalog and I'm beginning to look pretentious enough already...
Television:
Disinformation, Peep Show, Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, Strangers With Candy, Dr. Who, The 700 Club (Pat Robertson should be the person you gives your news with his own skewed take on current events)f, Twin Peaks, Black Books, Blackadder, Mr. Show, The Simpsons, Rotten TV, Fishing With John, Peep Show, TV Carnage, Alan Partridge, The Office (British & American), Nighty Night, Father Ted, Little Britain, The Brak Show, South Park, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Jack Van Impe Presents (Fallwell's cool & Swaggart's got the whores but this Canadian Evangelist is the shit! He can cover any current events and show you where it is in the Scriptures and where it fits in with the End Times. He also produces countless movies on the Apocalypse which he sells via his website or his show, thus keeping Kirk Cameron, or "Our Greatest Living Thesbian" as I like to call him, working. However the Best thing about Jack is that his wife's name is Rexella Van Impe. Check them out @ www.jvim.com, and I highly recommend the videos)
Books:
Mostly Just A List Of Authors: Charles Bukowski (I know it's college boy mysoginist drivel, but there's another level to it.

The Care Bears, particularly "I Hate You And Your God" Bear & "I Can't Believe That Bitch Gave Me Herpes" Bear
