& EVERYTHING by John Waters
Television:
I've never owned a television, but I've occasionally viewed other people's sets (such as my parents' when I was a child). I also read a fair amount about it, so I feel somewhat informed but I wouldn't say I'm a connoisseur. As with everything, its a mix of pros and cons. Not watching T.V. frees up some of my time and allows me to avoid at least one source of unwanted psychological programming (advertisements and anxiety-inducers) but it also sometimes keeps me ignorant about the latest current events and cultural trends.
Books:
A few of my favourite authors:
Rita Mae Brown, William S. Burroughs, Roald Dahl, Jean Genet, H. P. Lovecraft, Beatrix Potter, John Rechy, David Sedaris, David Foster Wallace, Andy Warhol ('a'), and Tennessee Williams
Heroes:
There are many people I admire in various ways, I'm even personally grateful to some for the sharing of their talents and traits... but still I hesitate to call anybody a hero. I don't think its a healthy dynamic. Hero worship may be one of the core reasons why the world has its leaders and followers, its actors and spectators, its haves and have-nots. More than identifying heroism in others, let everyone try to cultivate it in themselves. You be a hero... I will too.
