i think i've met just about everyone everywhere.
i love music. i'd be free to recomend something, if you give me a starting point. please, feel free to recomend something to me (possibly with a lot of blast beats). i recently realized it's pretty pointless to put a "what i'm listenting to" subsection, since i don't change this section 10% of the times i change what i'm listening to, so just take my word that i'm pretty open-minded music-wise. also, i'm in Kemical Mike And The Kansas City Faggots.
tier 1: the indispensible:
System of a Down - "Toxicity"
dredg - "El Cielo"
Metallica - "Ride The Lightning"
Iron & Wine - "Our Endless Numbered Days
Light This City - "The Hero Cycle".
tier 2: moving musical direction:
Led Zeppelin - "Led Zeppelin".
Santana - "Santana".
Pantera - "Vulgar Display of Power".
Rammstein - "Sehsucht".
there are some other really good ones too, but i highly recomend these.
...feel free to recommend something to me.
on the list:
Allen Ginsburg
Jack Keuroac
Neal Stephenson
apparently it isn't cool to put a lot in the books section of myspace. i'm gonna start changing that.
Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite book (i'd recomend anything Kurt Vonnegut), followed closely by The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, of course.
these are the books i'm reading:
Bastard Out Of Carolina, Dorothy Allison
A Tragic Legacy, Glenn Greenwald
here's my "to finish eventually/reading off and on" list:
The Bible
The Book of Mormon
Cool Gardens, Serj Tankian
my "to read" list is kinda non-comprehensive, due to the fact that i compulsively buy books from wherever (barnes', kep's, feld's, libraries, misc.) and store them away. i have a good amount of books i need to add, but these are probably the more important ones:
