pirates, dead things, music, shows, people watching, fun and stuff (now with things)... enjoy learning about history, as they say it repeats itself, hmm... Adolf Hitler said "How lucky for those in power that people don't think." And during the Nuremberg Trials Hermann Goering (second in command of the Third Reich and commander of the Luftwaffe) said "Of course the people don't want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
I'd like to meet:
anybody with anything entertaining to say... Oh, and midgets
Music:
frankenstein, cramps, bobby boris pickett and the crypt kicker five, the clash, the pogues, toy dolls, tom lehrer, john zacherly, johnny cash, adicts, damned, subhumans, devo, journey, AC/DC, depeche mode, BRAK!, 80's/deathrock/punk - the list goes on and on...
Movies:
gone with the wind, evil dead triology, straight to hell, anything with vincent price or john cusack, cheesy 80's movies, howard the duck, cheesy gory b horror movies, pirate movies, forbidden zone, the terror of tiny town (a rollickin', rootin', tootin', shootin' drama of the great outdoors)
Television:
the daily show, the history or discovery channel... and sometimes just watching random music videos on mute while listening to music, it's amazing some of the random combinations you come across that you'd never expect but somehow go so well together...
Books:
most recently read (and finished) books are Damien Echols autobiography (one of the West Memphis Three) "Almost Home: My Life Story Vol 1" and Philip Gourevitch's "We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families - Stories from Rwanda". Books that I have been off and on reading and plan to eventually finish are Charles Van Doren's "A History of Knowledge - Past, Present, and Future" also John Perkins' "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" and Jimmy Carter's "Our Endangered Values - America's Moral Crisis".
Heroes:
My Grandfather... My memories are filled with his dedication and devotion to our family and stories of his adventurous youth like hitch-hiking to California as a teen in hopes of meeting Deanna Durbin ~ he didn't get to meet her then (though he did meet Judy Garland after sneaking into Universal) but eventually did when in WWII he named his plane after her.
