Books:

Who has time to read? Audio Books are the future!
No, you know what the future is? Pet monkeys. Pet monkeys who can read to you while you're driving to work. Like that Trunk Monkey, but like one that can read to you, too! Then I'd know everything, and get a chance to "read" all those books from high school and college instead of just the Cliff's Notes. hee hee...um...don't tell my old instructors!
Books I have actually read and enjoyed:
• Harrington on Hold 'Em Vol. I, II & III
• Siddhartha

• Lord of the Rings
• Thinking Like Leonardo DaVinci
• Made You Look (Stefan Sagmeister)
• Graphic Design Books
• Poker Books
• Fight Club (but the movie WAS better, sad to admit)
• Zen Buddhism and Meditation
• Language Lessons (I'm fascinated with being able to communicate)

Heroes:

Anyone knowing when to be mature, when to be silly...and when to shutdaphuckup!!!
People with conviction, determination, loyalty, and integrity...and people who kick ass and take names.
Anyone who can take adversity and change it into success. Anyone who started with nothing and worked hard to make their own way, and are hugely successful now.
Anyone who's not your typical, predictable, run of the mill public sheep doing whatever society/culture tells them to do. People who know when to rebel against the system, but also (just as importantly) know when and how to use the system to their benefits.
People who impress me by being original. :D
