People who are strong in themselves and not afraid to live, to love life, and to fail. People who can find beauty in imperfection, who can laugh at things that "shouldn't be laughed at" and are willing to take chances, even at the risk of looking foolish. People who are alive and unafraid to face life on the road to personal freedom. Oh, wait...is that asking too much? Damn. Okay, then. People I can talk to and laugh with over a pint.
I like all sorts o' music, minus pop, pop-country an' most hip-hop.
I am addicted to film. I watch at least two every night. Although I enjoy nearly every genre, my favorites are horror and comedy--and I'm a sucker for the combination of the two. And bad (read:excellent) 80's movies. I'm also a big fan of sci-fi and history.
I don't remember the last time I watched television...unless you count watching television series on dvd or from my hard drives.
I like fiction... mostly sci-fi and fantasy. I also read a lot of technical manuals, text books, and army field manuals. Yes, I can program your electronics for you, before I hunt your supper, patch your wounds, and rescue you from the wilderness, McGuyver-style. But I'll expect beer and scotch, afterwards.
Bruce Lee, YoYo Ma, Beethoven, Robin Hood, Shane MacGowan, Django Reinhardt, Me boy, the citizens of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, and anyone and everyone with the courage and spirit to stand up in opposition of oppression, injustice, and prejudice
