For starters, politics and other global issues. I'm one who enjoys to absorb more commentary than spitting it out. So rant at me to your heart's content. I'll hear you out, but then crush you with my incredible logic. I'm also a black belt in Shotokan Karate, and into all other things Japanese.
Anything but the ordinary. Give me someone who doesn't try to emulate the TV. I guess you would call me picky for wanting an INTELLIGENT person in ORANGE COUNTY. But what can I say, I have high standards. If you're feeling lucky, IM me on AIM at GumOtaku.
Take a glance at my library of 3000+ songs, and chances are you'll only recognize 3 or 4. Because mainstream American music is dead. You're either in denial or deaf if you think otherwise. And since I see everyone else listing bands, I'm going to mindlessly conform and make a list... but just of a few bands! You get what I give you and LIKE IT! And if you so much as RECOGNIZE any of these bands... we will lie naked on the floor together. Because we're special. Anyway, I list now: Dragon Ash, A Silver Mt. Zion, Melt-Banana, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Yuki Kajiura, Do As Infinity, The Microphones, Dead Can Dance, Text, AND SO ENDS THE LIST! I don't wanna spoil you...
Well, pretty much the same blurb as above. Movies nowadays are pitiful. Do yourself a favor and watch an indie/foreign movie at the UCI theatre. Or try reading ratings for a change. The American populous has not grasped the connection of bad ratings = bad movie.
OK, I'm not such an intellectual prick that I don't watch TV. I'm an Adult Swim addict and a regular Daily Show viewer. A little extra Comedy Central whenever insomnia's hitting, but that about wraps it up for my TV schedule. Deal with it.
Ah, books. Can't put down a good Palahniuk book. Plath is always fine for rainy days. Selby is always fine for days when the rain travels at 400 mph burning through your roof into your heart. And I enjoy a manga every now and then.
In short, revolutionaries. Social or political. This includes anyone from Jesus and MLK Jr. to Hugh Hefner and Timothy Leary. Most are nameless. Like that tank guy from Tibet, whats-his-name. Sometimes they're soldiers. Sometimes they fight soldiers. Either way, they prove an individual can alter an entire society. One of us should probably get working on that...
