About Me

The last songs that I listened to:

First things first: This is my art.
It can explain me better than any of my words. If you let me use words to describe myself, I'd come up with some fucked-up, long-winded paragraph of an explanation. If I do it this way, it's all somewhat logical, and everyone can understand it, and choose not to read it ... in lieu of not being able to. Having said that, here's a survey that covers most of that which the art does not.

You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.

Movies:

I'm not that big into movies for some reason. I mean, I enjoy them, but I'm much less likely to want to tell people about a good movie than a good album.
Fight Club, Reservoir Dogs, Star Wars Episodes IV-VI, Mallrats, Pulp Fiction, Zatoichi, The Butterfly Effect, The Sound Of Music, A Clockwork Orange, and Trainspotting make up an abridged list of my favorites, though.

Television:

TV sucks, man. Other than The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Office, My Name Is Earl, Jeopardy, 65% of Adult Swim, 15% of the History Channel, 25% of the Discovery Channel, I'll just stick to music, thanks.

Books:

Anything by Chuck Palahniuk - fiction with value. Also, is Wikipedia considered a book?

Heroes:

Giles Corey, and my dad. My dad's hero is Chuck Yeager, so I guess him, too, by proxy.
