Music, writing, reading a good book, playing piano with my penis while i'm drunk(which sounded surprisingly good i tell you), starting and ending political arguments...sorry i'm a total activist you'll have to deal with it haha. Nothing does it for me like creating a new tune though. "Common sense is very uncommon. Common sense is in spite of, not as a result of education. Common sense is instinct, and enough is genius. Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he need more of it than he already has. Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done." - Rudyard Kipling
Who cares? Someone calm and collected and listens to good tunes, that about sums it up i suppose. although anyone who'd like to get tanked and run around austin with bad t-shirts and ripped jeans with me sometime is even more welcome.
iggy pop, the stooges, deathcab for cutie (hey, i gotta respect the guy's impecable since of melody as a songwriter....no tomato stonings please), aphex twin, rolling stones, fugazi, cocksparrer, radiohead, bob marley, ella fitzgerald, nusrat fateh ali kahn, pearl jam is definately my favorite band, turbo negro, sigur ros, belle and sabastian, red house painters, beta band, pavement, sebedoh, al green, bob dylan, lou reed, johnny cash, willie nelson, duke ellington, the stooges, NIN, jeff buckley, butthole surfers, air, blur....too many to name but you get the idea...
slc punk, a clockwork orange, napoleon dynamite, garden state, waking life, any good political activism documentaries....aka fuck michael moore in the ear if that's all you've seen, check out alex jones... evil dead movies, fear and loathing in las vegas, fight club, being john malcovich(however you spell it) suburbia.......the real one circa 1970s not that retarded 90s one AND OF COURSE, SPINAL TAP gotta be the favorite, oh and monty python flicks, and high fidelity of course
Waste of time.....worst 30 minutes of my life....although i think that american idols, survivor and swapping wives and such speak loudly of corporate american media's brilliance.......yeah fuckin right...fuck the drugs killing your brain cells, it's that shit. you'll accomplish/learn more in a farting competition.
hm...........wow, one that actually holds some room for thought....i'd have to say,anything by hunter s thompson, the fuckup by arthur narsesian, fight club, choke and survivor by good ol' chuck p. ...or hell, anything by him really, my name is asher lev by chaim potak was good, confederacy of dunces by John Kennedy Toole if you haven't read it yet, do so now for a good laugh....for the most relevant reading of our times....my favorite's have to be the negative utopia masterpieces 1984, Georger Orwell, and Brave New World, Aldous Huxley.
it's a 3-way tie between myself, alex jones, and iggy pop i think. "If you are to be...what you wish to be....then be what you must be"-anonymous songwriter off a johnny cash documentary who's name i've yet to discover.
