Politics, History, MUSIC, Movies, Chemistry, Psychology, Human Anatomy...and Architecture.Yes I am a geek.
George Bush...to understand why he is so, wierd.Napoleon Bonaparte, this dude obviously had ambition.Friedrich Nietzche, he was twisted and brilliant...Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights says it all.Pope John XXIII, a former pirate and spokes boy for the mob-like Medici family...must have some good stories.
ANYTHING, and I do mean anything...except modern pop...and modern country - both are black holes and a drain on the music industry. I love to analyze lyrics, vocal tones, and notes. The art of music is brilliant.
300, Flags of our Fathers, Magnolia, American Beauty, Pink Flamingos, Orange County, Sunshine, Citizen Kane, Shichinin no Samuri...or ANY Akira Kurosawa films, Crash, House of Sand and Fog, Goodbye Lenin, Cleo from 5 to 7, La Notte, Breaking Waves, The Dreamers, Barton Fink, Eternal Shunshine of the Spotless Mind...and many more.
I dont really watch T.V. Only HBO shows...and I can rarely keep up with those...Big Love, The Sopranos (Over but still good for reruns)
Shit...too many. Clandestine Prophecy, Things Fall Apart, The Iliad, Paradise Lost, The Jungle, Dolores Claiborne, A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking is always a good read, Still Life with Woodpecker,
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.
