I'd like to meet:
I thirst to meet myself. Not to find myself, but to get to actually stand face to face without mirrors and masks and trickery; to stare deep into my own eyes, into my heart, & into my soul, & see the end product for what it is and will be, ...a GREAT MAN!
Music:
Featured Artist: M.I.A. (ft. Timberland) - "Come Around" Right now, I'm into a lot of artists who inspire me to be creative or are outside the mainstream...I'm getting tired of being surrounded by people who only listen to one genre, or are so closed minded that they can't begin to leave the constraints of a "hip-hop blast this nigger that" musicality or the "I'm so torn and jaded I hate, and am consumed by the fire." rock mentality. Not that I don't enjoy gorging myself on the top 40 as much as the next person, I just don't let others or the media fully control the extent of or mold my own tastes to their will like most people. I believe sometimes we should fight conformity, unfortunately I am alone in this plight!
Movies:
Here's a list of a few of my personal favorites...I think they are wonderfully directed and artistically driven, some are independent films, and yes they all exisit I own all of them.
Amelie, American History X, American Psycho, American Splendor, Bad Education, Closer, Confessions of A Dangerous Mind, Confidence, The Dangerous lives of Alter Boys, Death to Smoochy, Die Mommy Die, The Dreamers, Great Expectations, Happy Endings, Human Nature, I (heart) Huckabees, Intermission, The Jacket, Kids, Killer Clowns from Outerspace, The Last Horror Movie, Lucky # Slevin, Latter Days, Melinda & Melinda, Memoirs of a Geisha, OngBak, Orgazmo, Outsiders, Otherside of the Bed, Prime, Resevoir Dogs, Rules of Attraction, Stepford Wives
Television:
Love it, like movies it helps me escape my current sad existence.
Books:
Does anyone care? I love to read...but honestly if I had one friend who actually care enough to check out what authors I liked or discuss a book with me or actually read themselves, I would feel a little less like John Cardinal Newman after he decided to follow his faith into the clergy after his leadership of the Oxford movement. (ostracized by friends and family) but anyways. What I so longwindedly just tried to point out is that no one probably cares and I am suprised as hell if, with the dwindling attention span of modern Americans... (and all people in general),if you even made it this far.
Heroes:
My parents are my heroes ,which is cliche, but I don't think anyone else deserves even as close to the same amount of respect. Not cause they are my parents but because everyone I have known has lied to me...the difference is after the fact I know they have the balls to tell me the truth.
