We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
Listen to mostly everything. Just needs a good beat and good lyrics. Some good bands I like:
The Killers
Franz Ferdinand
Floggling Molly
DropKick Murphy
Bad Religion
Rancid
Snow Patrol
Dresdon Dolls
Alkaline Trio
Sucker for anything asian or about asia. Love "The Last Samurai" , only movie that I really like Tom Cruise in.
Mostly fantasy stuff. Also like long series that really get you involved. Right now I'm reading three different series, Sword and Truth, Wheel of Time, and Harry Potter . (It's good, so shut your mouth)
