In reality, anyone who shares my interests, or directly opposes them, for a good reason. Open minded Conservatives, Rabid Liberals, Nihlists, Monks, Rabbis, Shamen, Atheists, and the vast ocean of the undecided.I would definitely enjoy meeting Hunter S. Thompson, Maynard James Keenan, Mike Patton and Tom Waits, those guys are all troubled geniuses, whose talents have impacted my approach to thought and life tremendously. I wish I'd had a chance to meet Dimebag Darrell. Some of my most profound moments as a confused and reckless youth were fueled by his music. I almost got to meet him, once......but some dick at NAMM turned us away. I'd like to talk to Phil Ansalmo, know that since the loss of Darrell, he's caught alot of negative heat.I couldn't imagine losing a friend and bandmate, estranged or not. The people we create with are the ones who can read deeper into our minds. They're also the ones that impact us the most. I think that anyone whose been through what he has would have a lot of insight.I'd really like to meet the President. While I'm fairly convinced that he is an arrogant, wicked and foolish tyrant, I'd love to talk with him about what life is like for the people that he's supposed to be serving. I would understand if he ignored everything that I had to say, because while it wouldn't change anything, at least the message would be conveyed. Then I'd punch him in the dick. I'd love to meet anybody who's seen more than I have so that I can absorb through them the wisdom needed to survive this uncertain torrent of bullshit and compromise that we call life.Ultimately, though, rather than spend all of my time meeting people, I'd prefer to get to know better, the people that I already love and care for.

I don't have one anymore, but I'll still catch an episode of Southpark when I can.
Yes please. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, Siddartha by Herman Hesse, Inferno by Dante, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, The Shining by Stephen King, any of Clive Cussler's books (I've been reading them since 6th grade) Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence by Robert Pirsig, Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, to name a few. I won't bore you, though.
My dad, he's the one who taught me to smile when things are tough and to "always walk away smiling with money in your hand". Also, Dante, the Italian poet/cleric who wrote the classic, "Inferno." The guy looked at what was going on around him and called out those in power, the crooked Clergy, which, back then, could have proven fatal. Anyone who's willing to say "Fuck You" to a tangible authority figure deserves some props.Most importantly, though my heroes are the one's who have impacted me more than anyone, my big mafia heads: Sasquatch, B-lipps, Dr. Bobby, Jeevus and the H-bear, Mush, Mackerel, Colonel Fitch, Germy, Mr. Brown, Alex-who needs a nickname, Johnny 5, Lon-dyke, Big-sis, lil-bro, Soli, the LaVey house, Dez, the lost-boys, Co.Y?, The Smokin'-Drinkin'-VanderHinkins, my S.Y.O-G's, the beent'ners, AK, AC, Smoky's crew, Mojo (wherever the fuck you are), Moose, Steady Eddie, Sucio, Monster-Earth and more likely than not, you...
