My list varies from day to day. Not mention there are too many people to list them all. Although, I think it would be really interesting to do a "Back to the Future" type of thing and meet my parents & grandparents when they were my age.
I listen to just about everything from B.I.G. to Mozart.
I could watch movies all day if the rest of my life didn't get in the way. I love film because it includes all other forms of art. I can get all of my favorite things rolled up into a beautiful ballet of shadows and light. That's hard to beat or resist. Many of my favorite films are by one of these directors: Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, Federico Fellini, John Singleton, Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Francis Ford Copola, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Steven Soderbergh, Akira Kurosawa. There are way too many to list them all...
I can't miss Heros, Lost, Prison Break, The O.C., Desperate Housewives Bothers & Sisters or Grey's Anatomy. I'm saddened by the end of Alias. I hope to see an end to the Reality T.V. overkill. Is it just me or is Danny Bonaducci a total nightmare. I don't think I can take another "Lovable fat guy, beautiful wife, crazy kids" family sitcom either. While they're at it the producers can cancel all the hospital, legal and cop show spin-offs too. Maybe then the writers & producers could just make the originals into one good show.
I don't read half as much as I used to or should. I'm somewhat disappointed in myself because of it. However, I've been working my way through the "Complete Works of Shakespeare". Just reading more poetry in general. I like this one:The More Loving One by W. H. Auden ~Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That, for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast.How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me.Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give a damn, I cannot, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day.Were all stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty sky And feel its total dark sublime, Though this might take me a little time.
My family and friends. They're the strongest, most loving and resourceful group of people I've ever known. They inspire me all the time.
