And a whole bunch more that would be just ridiculous to keep listing, but includes blues, rock, swing, latin, lounge, house, classical, ... shit I even heard a fun country band the other day. And I'd see them again, but I wouldn't push it.
I just watched FOUR BROTHERS. If you like this movie, then you are stupid. Please email me in all your stupid splendor and I will surely and succinctly delete you from my profile, so I no longer have to be subject to your stupid blubbering ass ramblings.
Oh... who really has time for television?
But if you haven't seen The West Wing, go rent the dvds. That's how a show should be written. I seriously get teary eyed almost every episode.
I could watch Seinfeld forever. Once again, God Bless DVDs.
Currently, Rome was cool. Go ahead and learn a little history, while being entertained.
I finally gave in and started Sex and the City. Yeah I have some things to learn about women still (Does it really ever stop?). Why not get some free lessons from every woman's favorite show?
I read. I love it. I love to learn. I love to gain as much knowledge as possible. I want to know more than you.
Faulkner, Bukowski, Dostoevsky, self helps, do it yourselfs, theory, philosophy, creativity, women's issues, relationship issues, economic issues, history, life, science, languages.
I love the wild and dangerous, the mysterious, the unique. Capture my mind.
Some of my favorites:
Trinity,A wonderful fictional story about a couple of Irish boys that grow up to fight British rule in Ireland in what eventually becomes the IRA. Good historical background as well as a great story.
Anna Karenina, The Brothers Karamazov, if you can read Russian authors, they love to write on and on, but you won't get a more indepth look into the human soul, and passion and philosophy of living.
The Artist's Way, for all you with caged creativity. It's a great book to get you writing and opening up creatively. Anyone can do it with practice. I swear.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, a brilliant, philosophical book, but not for the casual reader. I've spent days driving across the country discussing this book with one of my best friends who is one of the smartest people I know.
The River Why, A funny, philosophical, coming of age story. Don't be turned off by the fishing topic. I don't fish a lick. I was a vegetarian for 10 years.
Wonderland Ave, about Jim Morrisson's young sidekick and his troubles with heroine addiction. It's an autobiography of sorts.
King Lear, my favorite of Shakespeare's. So far at least. I haven't read them all, but it's a gloriously written tragedy about manipulation and love and ... well Willie incorporates everything, so I won't limit him.
Siddartha, if you haven't read it, just do it. It's an exploration of eastern philosophy and it's good for you. Explore yourself a bit. It can only do you good.
Beach Music, I'm trying to cover them all here. This is a great story about a man whose wife commits suicide and his recovery, including the journey to recapture his life and a relationship with her family.
The Sound and The Fury, another one not for the casual reader. In fact, I would recommend a class or a discussion group especially for this one. The first chapter starts out inside a retarded man's head, so it's an incredible challenge to figure out, and the second chapter, the one I love the most, follows the brother around on the day he is going to commit suicide. It really is beautiful.
The Leopard, a classic about an Italian socialite during a time when his class is crumbling to an end.
and the list goes on and on, keep reading. And if you want recommendations, I have them. Call me up and we'll talk.
I'm currently reading Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris. I'm really impressed so far. She wrote Chocolate, which you might have seen. And this one has a lot to do with food and passion as well, but what really catches my attention is that she is really good at drawing me back into my childhood and it how it felt to be at wonder with the world and adventurous.
George Costanza
Seriously, if you can't love a guy who has every despicable, shallow quality known to man, than, "Do the opposite."
