I love art, music, theatre, photography, literature, film, etc.. I'm a creative person. My career, positivity, humor, helping others, being ambitious, working out (at least, trying), my amazing friends, family, love, loyalty, big cities, psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, archeology, legends/myths, symbology, narrative, logic, trivia, pop culture, horror, sarcasm, absurdity, surrealism, optimism, cynicism, propaganda, fashion, nostalgia, realism, mojitos, coffee, understanding "the human condition", screenwriting, seeing the world...
Other creatives.

The truth is that there are too many I love, to list. (Way too many.)
SNL, I Love Lucy, Chappelle's Show, Family Guy and American Dad (naturally), Buffy (you laugh--you die), Ren and Stimpy, anything HBO...Oz, Carnivale, Sex and the City, SIX FEET UNDER, etc...
I love books published by Phaidon and Taschen. For anyone who's unfamiliar with those, they put out these art books that are just fantastic. (If you're into that sorta thing, check them out, next time you're in a bookstore. They're good stuff.) As far as "literature"....Sherwood Anderson was the man; and, I enjoy Jim Carroll's work (as bizarre as some of it seems). I'm really starting to dig David Sedaris.
Are people who inspire me.
