Film-making. Music which I love to both listen to and play, I'm a big fan of the bar scene, not so much a fan of the clubs, in fact I hate them, a good bar with a good jukebox and a group of good people is enough for me. I like the outdoors, though I dont get out as often as i should, I also like my alone time (but who doesnt?). Other than that I love to travel: lookin forward to New Zealand in the near future, and hopefully another trek through Europe after that, maybe the caribbean sometime in there too if my finances are in order, you know how that goes...if your interested feel free to come along.
Hugo Fuentes b/c he is a god. People with similar interests, but not necessarily film students, I find many of them to be, how do I say it, pretentious cocksuckers. Basically if you are into film or in film school, thats cool, but don't expect me to engage you in lengthy conversations about the significance of Kurosawa or Citizen Kane. I went to the best film school in the country, I've heard all that shit before, ad nauseum. I like to have fun, and in my circles that means good times with good people and more often than not, good liquor. I come from a family/social clan of ball breakers, so you gotta be able to give and take verbal abuse on a regular basis if you plan to survive and outing with me, thats all I ask, be a good sport, and be able to handle your liquor, if you can't then just say so, you might get called a bitch but at least you won't die trying to keep pace.
In addition to my auditory sampler, this will give you a more complete idea: After the Fall (formerly Note to Self), Meshuggah, Black Sabbath, Tool, Hatebreed, Slayer, Black Label Society, Lamb of God, Opeth, Killswitch Engage, Hendrix, Damage Plan, Pantera(R.I.P. Dimebag), Alice in Chains, Strapping Young Lad, Dry Kill Logic, Tenacious D, A Perfect Circle, Rammstein, Judas Preist, R.A.T.M.(Re-Uniting for Coachella, HOLY SHIT!!), early 90's grunge, 80's punk(if you dont know, leave me alone), the list goes on and on, I'm into all the other great bands (not the shitty ones though, i.e. anything mainstream, like emo and that new punk shit that isnt really punk music, but just a bunch of whiny bitches; to quote my good friend Chris: "BANDS LIKE BLINK-182 AND GOOD CHARLOTTE ARE ONLY THERE TO GIVE FEEBLEMINDED ADOLESCENT FEMALES AN EXCUSE TO MASTURBATE.") I'm also into all the legends like Floyd, Zepplin, Janis(Joplin that is), Clapton, BB King (i could go on for many pages)you know all the greats that started it all, but I do love metal most of all, and there's an especially large amount of crap being made these days so one must always be vigilant in their search for good music, be open to suggestions, but remember: just cause your friend likes something that doesnt mean that you have to, and if something they like really sux balls, dont be afraid to tell them so, trust me, it will only help them in the longrun. WE CAN PUT AN END TO SHITTY NONINSPIRATIONAL, UNINTELLIGENT, MTV-SPAWNED MUSIC IN OUR TIME!
There is no way for me to even begin to write a list of my favorite movies; so for now I'll just say that I love watching movies, and I've seen a shitload of 'em (all kinds, including the porn, you cant be a fan of film without having watched some good XXX flicks). If you want specifics lemme know, I love anything with an intelligent sense of humor or anything that makes you really think. I would also recommend everyone to check out the catalogue of Trey Parker's films, as they are both relevant, stupid, funny as all hell, and above all sheer genius. Those who disagree, I weep for you and your children. The Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Star Wars (the originals),Taxi Driver, Casino, Goodfellas, Hate(la Heine), Dazed and Confused, PCU, Half Baked, and all of Mel Brooks' films rank among some of my more preferred flicks, but I really dont like to pick fav's since i like so many films, these just kick so much ass I felt they deserved to be mentioned, so check 'em out if you havent already!!
All life stops for The Simpsons. Enough said. METALOCALYPSE!!!-Dethklok is the greatest musical force in the history of mankind!!! you must check it out- Comedy Central, Cartoon network, the History channel, the Discovery channel, Arrested Development (best writing on TV next to the Simpsons) Headbangers ball(the only worthwhile MTV production since Beavis and Butt-head went off the air), the metal shows on FUSE are pretty good too, but i hate that girl Julia. And of course how could i forget The Family Guy, The Twilight Zone (the original), The Sopranos, South Park, and all kinds of other stuff that is NOT reality tv. Oh yeah and Jeopardy, gotta have Jeopardy.
The list of books is far too long, especially after completing an english major, so I'll just mention a few authors: Hunter S. Thompson, Tolkien, B.E. Ellis, Hemingway, Mailer, Puzo, Shakespeare, Burgess, Chomsky,Fitzgerald, Salinger, Vonnegut, Poe, etc. etc. etc., again ask for specifics if you really wanna know.
My Family, My Friends, Myself, most of the authors I mentioned previously, and maybe a few others.
