About Me

Let my voice be heard through the echoes of this chaotic world. Let my ideas and thoughts be carried on in the aftermath of my death. Let the judgmental tendencies of our world fade and may there be a rebirth of peace and love that can be seen not in the form of a dream, but in the hearts and souls of humanity." -Cody Gibson

Television:

•I don't watch a lot of TV. Only Seinfeld.

Books:

Bukowski is my favorite: Post Office/Hollywood/Women. Brave New World by Huxley gets two thumbs up. The Stranger by Camus is a great piece of work. The Catcher in the Rye. Siddhartha by Hesse. The Bluest Eye and Fahrenheit 451 are pretty good. Reading is wonderful.

Heroes:

I look up to my younger brother Jacob probably more than anyone else. He sees life through a perspective unlike any seen before.
