Beautiful Burlesque Babes and Boys, cripples and others who are not as we are, music that is the creme de la creme of its genre, chicks with dicks, honesty, objectivity, people with an understanding of the realities of their own lives, travelling the world to find out how fucking similiar we all really really are.., never forgiving but trying to forget, whatever people mean when they say "at least it was experience darling", books about people who don't realise they're as fucked up as they really are, psychology, sociology, cultural insignificances, the shittest movies I can find, japanese horror movies and taiwanese midget private eye movies, canabalistic tendencies, photography (since they don't have a section on that - Diane Arbus, Weegy and Walker Evans - personal favourites), art (and seeing as theres no section for that - Ray Caesar, Joe Coleman, Mark Ryden, Lui Ye all fantastic), children who display a better understanding of the incidentals of humanity than their own parents, stumps, lost geniuses, military strategy and fuck ups of the 20th & 21st century, vietnam veterans still in vietnam who were never picked up by their own army, science that I can't believe, middle america.
