Poetry, reading and writing poetry and short stories. I used to have in this section that I have been working on a novel. That's funny. I wrote about 20 chapters to that novel, erased half of them, and decided the rest was crap. I have these novel ideas all the time and they are brilliant; unfortunately my attention span is miniscule. Seriously, I have no idea how I keep a job. It can only be my extraordiary intelligence that holds reality together for me at all. Good thing for that. :
I would still like to meet Jesus and Jim Morrison. I would like to meet God, if he exists, as my friends keep telling me he does. I still haven't found him. God, if you are reading this, help me out here. Shall I have my agent call your agent? My attorney call your attorney? The thought of God's legal fees amuses me. Insurance must be a nightmare. I mean, omnipotence seems like a sure thing, but he threw that free will clause in there, providing at least 4 billion possible claimants on anything he could be found liable for, to include all of creation. Man, what a statistical mess. Lord, can you hear me now?

Television. I used to have in this section "I can't remember the last time I actually sat down to watch television", however, I have now become fond of sitting on my ass at least one 1 1/2 hours per week to watch Dexter and Weeds on Showtime.
I like reading poetry mostly because most poems are short enough for my very short attention span. I've also been fascinated very much since returning to Texas with the local magazines, which seem to be one long advertisement for self promotion among the local towns people. I guess that IS the idea, after all, but still...there is a fine line between mildly amusing and nausiating.
I see heros everyday. Little kids with cancer who are in a better mood than me just because I got a shitty parking space while coming in for a routine check up, those lil people are heros. The homeless guy who sits on the corner every damn day and continues to tolerate life even though it currently sucks for him and has no prospect of getting better, that guy is a hero. Peace Corps volunteers, those people are amazing. The lil nerdy kid that gets picked on every day of his lil life, and still goes to school, and never does shoot any of his tormenters, and somehow, despite all of his youth being destroyed by inhumane harassment, still manages to grow up to be a kind, loving, decent human being, (probably in the peace corps), that kid is a damn hero. To me anyways.
