surfing, eating, skipping engagements, dressing down, saving money I don't have, driving cars I won't drive and loving on the moment. To love someone for 5 minutes is too exhilerating. Say 'I love you' too soon, it drives you to back it up. Even if you fall off the 'I love you' wagon, it's a kick in the pants while you're saying it.
I wanna meet someone that sleeps as much as me, say, 3 hours/night. Someone that keeps motivation at peak levels round the clock. I was introduced to Chloe Cane and Madeline Amphetamine, but I don't think either are the one. someone that will break my heart; I need that atleast once in life, make me feel alive. Takers?
Mike Lee, Marla Altschuler, Kanye West (despite the racist fuck he is), Joseph Arthur, Ringside, Pinback, Citizen Cope and my boy Andy from Mama Gun. Brit cat that kills it, hit his link off my page. For mellow Ministry of Sound Chillout Sessions and Aria. Maybe a little Sachmo and Miles Davis, even Nina Simone when I'm feelin' frisky... Before Going Out? Ima Robot. Other than that: Postal Service,Mc Chris, David Bowie, William Shatner, Fugazi, Beck (earthquake weather), Portishead, Elliot Smith, Bob Dylan, Snow Patrol, Aphex Twins, Sterolab, Johnny Cash, Herbie Hancock, Basement Jaxx, Bright Eyes, Fischer Spooner, Shins, Deathcab, Travis, Temple of the Dog, DepecheMode, Ima Robot, Air, Massive Attack, Al Green, Animals, Lyrics Born, Arcade Fire, Bjork, Cat Stevens, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Dean Martin, Scissor Sisters, Desmond Dekker, The Faint, Gorillaz, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Iron and Wine, John Fogerty, the Killers, Lovage, Mad Season, Bennie Benassi, Manu Chao, Nirvana, Sade, Sage Francis, Something for Rockets, The Streets, Synergy, TV on the Radio, Wham, and Willie Nelson. And yes, listen to each and every one of them and more. Music drives my days ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ...UPDATE: Electric President, Imogen Heap, Lamb, Thievery Corporation, Si Se, Broken Social Scene, Husky Rescue, Keane, Midwest Product and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Check 'em. Also, any Mariah Carey sang by the girl in the green sweatshirt.
For some odd reason the new version of Great Expectations hit me good a few years back when I was searching. Always a search, but in desperate times a good flick to throw in. Love 'Before Sunrise' followed directly by 'Before Sunset'. Watch 'em back to back to get the full effect of proper. Fantasia (the original) is sensational after eating a few pizza toppings. Love the animated ones. Rounders, The Jacket, Riding Giants, First Descent, Donnie Darko, Closer (semantically brilliant), Mystic River, Salton Sea, Italian Job, Suspicion (old Hitchcock), Anything w/o one liners save Italian Job. I'm a sucker for cobblestone streets.
Don't watch TV. Ahhh, ok, occasional Entourage. UPDATE: favorite show ever would have to be Boston Legal w/ William Shatner and James Spader. I'm buying the first season as soon as it drops.
Benjamin Anastas' Underachiever's Diary..... Lao-Tzu - Tao Te Ching..... William Hazlitt on The Pleasure of Hating..... Friedrich Nietzsche - Why I Am So Wise..... George Orwell - Why I Write..... Dante - The Devine Comedy..... David Sedaris - Me Talk Pretty One Day..... Lewis Carrol - The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass..... Jack Kerouac - On the Road..... Kennedy Toole - A Confederacy of Dunces..... The Devil's Dictionary..... Locke's Essays Concerning Human Understanding..... Vonnegut's SlaughterhouseFive and Man Without a Country...... A LOT of scripts, mainly scripts. Reading books is a pleasure I rarely indulge.
Both sets of grandparents (all living), are inspirations. Coming up with so little they've all made so much. They've seen more change than I can imagine we'll see, though unfortunately not. My father and mother also inspire me. Used to get kicked outta the house every Christmas, now I love 'em. Travelers catch my eye, as well as those that take that cliche'd path of less traveled. Love the oddball that makes his own way, despite those that tell him/her not to. good on 'ya.
