i've not seen this particular movie, i didn't know about the contest, and i generally have an aversion to kids in advertisements, but i really believe in the message and hope that people take it to heart, not only for their children but for themselves as well.
i like learning; i don't want to waste my brain.
lobbing tennis balls over the fence, reading, poetry, photography, writing about stuff, asian cuisine, food & drink, dining out, fresh berries (raspberries are the best), making out, tattoos , quantum physics, silver, glass art, shiny objects, fireworks, thunder & lightning, art, being in water, shots, eye candy, who needs frills as long as you've got thrills, having a good time, laughing so hard i turn crimson red because i can't breathe, change is good and everything happens for a reason, ssshh...it's a secret , stars that burn holes in your retinas, stars that don't, money for milk intoxicators, raw quince, "all the sex and blood migration", what happens in the synapses between the axons, exploiting my vises, sharing the comedic drama that is my life, Cursive's tune The Recluse, down the rabbit hole , Beaver, what a lovely way to burn, muckrunner
really too many
p.s.
i tend to believe that you can't know too many people; networking should not be taken lightly.
i'm drawn to smart, knowledgeable, creative, well-spoken, passionate people. if you can teach what you know, i'll like you more - - maybe. as quid pro quo would dictate i'll imbue my knowledge, whatever good or malign that will do, to you.
let's get together over caffeinated beverages (mine will be a [double] dirty chai) and geek-out about current music and classic literature, or reminisce about 8-bit video games, Marvel comics penciled by Jim Lee , and cartoons when we were kids, or let's play Guitar Hero, check out the new art in the graphic novel, and buy tshirts with our favorite "retro" cartoon characters screen printed on them.
a happy ending would be like Hard to Concentrate and Island in the Sun
it's good for the soul...
a little of this, a lot of that...it depends on my mood
SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC, YO.

i've got this quirky habit of not only watching the same movie several times in the span of a week (sometimes in the same day), but keeping it on as background noise while having a different language setting. i like watching movies with subtitles even if they are already in english. i'm addicted to the directors' commentaries.
[note to self: watch the movie before reading the book!]
mmeh, not so much
e.e. cummings, william blake, the orchid thief (susan orlean), harry potter (j.k. rowling), hey nostradamus!

for awhile i was doing one book a week. but for the time being, as i'm back in school and still working, my reading as of late is exclusively academic.
reading saves lives. (quite true considering my particular circumstances)
Current: my textbooks for skool w00t! (btw, nerds and geeks are HOT)
And when/if ever i can make the time: A Confederacy of Dunces (John Kennedy Toole), Riding in Cars with Boys (Beverly Donofrio), (JD Salinger), (Jane Austin), East of Eden (John Steinbeck), The Contortionist's Handbook (Craig Clevenger), What the Bleep Do We Know!? (William Arntz)
