I really like a lot of music. So I'll tell you what I don't like. Celine Dion and anyone like her, Screamo, Emo, Industrial, Super Heavy Metal, and some Pop songs however not all of it's shitty.
.. Anything truly thought provoking unless it provokes stupid thoughts...
I think I watch too much TV. So I'm gonna start reading, writing, drawing, painting and doing those fun things more.
All Vonnegut is good or at least entertaining. Ayn Rand's Fountain Head is my favorite novel thus far. I'd like to write and maybe illustrate a children's book. I've always loved Silverstein, Dr. Suess, and PD Eastman. The Giving Tree is the best book of all time! However, the Lorax is up there too.
Recently took a little less than a year to read Catch 22. I say it's just o.k. I'll never read it again. But I think it's worth reading once. Not the greatest but not the worse. Fuck Nately's dead whore.
01/11/07 Just finished a second reading of Orwell's 1984. I must say there's a lot I didn't remember from the first read. Granted it was over 10 years ago. 1984 is one of the best warnings against the negative potential of Human soceity. It hits home today as much as ever. I suggest any conscious soul read this book again.
02/12/07 Finished Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" Not a bad book. It can sometimes be difficult to keep up with the slang language of the time. Loved the stuff about the running of the bulls and the excessive drinking was a perfect compliment beginning my week in Belize.
02/16/07 Finished "Getting Stoned with Savages" J. Maarten Troost's follow up to "The Sex lives of Cannibals" A travel account of living the expat life in the South Pacific. Another perfect compliment to a stay in Belize. It made me think that if this guy can live in the South Pacific with his wife and have a baby, I could probably do alright living a few slow paced years on Caye Caulker. Pretty good book written in a witty and humorous style that'll keep you turning pages. It will also make you want to drink some kava. Fortunately Belize offered plenty of Beliken and 1 Barrel Rum.
Aril 3rd No longer currently reading "Living Abroad in Belize." Brad borrowed and lost the book before I could finish.
May 28th 07 Just finished "Marley and Me," by John Grogan. It's pretty funny. It's about a guy, his crazy ass Lab, his wife, and mostly life as a naive dog owner and starting a family. It's a book that hits home to anyone who owns a dog or anyone who's ever lived life. It's a good quick read and I have to warn you that you'll most likely cry, but you'll laugh a lot too.
07/16 to 07/19 Read The King of Methlehem It was a quick fun read makes me fell like everyone around me is tweeking on meth and or making meth. Not a bad little book
05/30/07 08/10/08 Finally Finished Noam Chomsky's "Failed States" It's pretty informative but its a very thick read.
07/20/07 to 12/24/07 Read Al Gore's Assault on Reason.
12/22/07 02/08/08 Read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. by Jonathan Safran Foer. Great fiction book about an eccentric kid who lost his dad on 9/11
02/02/08 Read Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea. What a crazy old man.
02/16/08 Read The Pact by Jodi Piccoult.
