Oil painting, MySpace it seems, Theoretical Linguistics, challenging abstract concepts in all branches of the hard sciences, PBR, world domination, lollipops and gum drops, talking painting with painters, deep conversations, provoking thought in random places, eyes, talking painting with anyone who will talk painting, attractive intellectual girls who enjoy total reckless abandonment....and kissing, Motorcycles, Music of all kinds, Reading books that most people pass by, soft things, long walks on the beach in cardigan sweaters while sippin chai tea & shooting injured seagulls w/ a slingshot for the sheer dominating feeling of it all, puppies, Meeting original people or people who never seem original until the strangest thing happens and the world beats to a differant drum just long enough to spin life just so; cause you never saw them coming....lol, Electronics, blinky lights and flashy objects, psycology, number theory, cheesy romance laid on inappropriately heavy, shock affect, seeing random assholes get tazed, dangerous jobs, self sufficent systems, plants, cacti, memorable times with friends and family and of course nation building.
David Lynch, Aron Ralston( the dude who cut his own arm off w/ a dull pocket knife when a boulder landed on him pinning him to the ground to die....all I have to say is wow...he wins),...hmmmm...The inventor of reality TV so I can assault him repeatedly until he takes responsibility for at least some part of the dumbing of Americans, Will Farrell, other stimulating artists who chose self education for at least a large section of a period of their lives for the sheer self guidance it provides, girls who like to kiss.... but not until you have proved capable of the much entertaining chase that allows for at least some level of mental stimulation, an art curratoror or agent who gets out of my art what I put into it and uses that energy to help spread my view of the world .. and canvas, and of course the remaining members of the genius that was Pantera (long live Dimebag...I'll see U when I die), I want to meet anybody cool, intellectually stimulating, reckless in creative ways, and of course not creepy.... you creepy f*ckers are a different breed. Strangely you seem to mass in groups too...intriguing but freaky at the same time. I dislike hippies....gotta get that out there early.

The Big Labousky, Muholland Drive, Apocalypse Now, The Clockwork Orange, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Old School, anything with John Candy, Momento, 21 Grams,Team America: World Police, Rad, Tron, too many to list combined with my regular boycott of the television makes this an interesting yet flavorless category for me. That and by the time I made it this far...even on my third sitting of data entry it reaked of effort to complete this expansive category...so...future holds promise...boredom does strike randomly...
I despise almost all of TV but the few that prompt me to violate that instinct would have to be Family Guy, The Simpsons, MXC, and Rubber Chicken on Adult Swim
Edward Gibbons: Decline and fall of the Roman Empire (currently in Vol. 2), Trotsky's: War and Peace,Kant, Aristotle, Nietsche, Philosophy in general 2 books on Dali( my Mentor as an artist), More of Morrison's poetry( dark and genius it is), a few scattered magazines, Penn's: All The King's Men,(In the last year I've probably finished 150 books easy because yes....I like to read) and the writing on the wall that tells me I am a MySpace whore.
