i'd been holding out hope that i would get to meet mr. vonnegut, but it looks like that will not be happening, unless we do it 'god bless you, dr. kevorkian' style.
however, i wouldn't consider billy corgan a shoddy runner-up, by any means.
i was also pretty bummed a few years back when leni riefenstahl kicked it. i bet it would have been interesting conversation. she had a hand in some scary shit, i'm not sure what i would have asked first.
it seems like i've wasted my 23 years not meeting interesting people and now they are dying. i guess i'd better get on it already. seriously, there is nothing worse than a boring person.
oh, and john cusack. because he's john cusack. i mean really, have you seen grosse pointe blank?
and now normal mailer...what the hell.
if you are at all like any of these people, maybe i would like to meet you, too. well, except riefenstahl. i wanted to talk to her. once. then go very far away from her. but i guess if you are like her, the bush administration is always on the look out for up and coming fascists.

i can find something redemable about every genre, but for the sake of brevity, i'll just give a run-down of my favorites:
nirvana, smashing pumpkins, sublime, led zeppelin, tupac, johnny cash, pixies, pantera, buddy holly, tool, pearl jam, anthrax, patsy cline, kmfdm, motorhead, bob marley, 311...
full metal jacket, a nightmare on elm street, star wars, indiana jones, diehard, dead poets society, anything with john cusack, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, edward scissorhands, fightclub, legend, bill & ted, mallrats, jurassic park, all the batmans, all slasher flicks, breakfast club, heavenly creatures, boondock saints, natural born killers, farris buellers day off, detroit rock city, sandlot, sin city and mother fucking blazing saddles.
okay, that is as short as this list can be. if you haven't seen these or the 5 thousand i left off, go get a netflix account, right now.
all time best shows?
law & order. my so called life. buffy (shut up, it's an illness). space ghost coast to coast (only with my dad). are you afraid of the dark? x-files. twin peaks. pete & pete. tales from the crypt. clarissa explains it all. and friday the thirteenth & freddy's nightmares, 2 shows no one else in the world seems to have watched except me...
current good shows? not so many options...
law & order (still), the closer, prison break, bones...
i wish i could be shorter here, but i really just can't. i tried.
timequake, alice's adventures in wonderland, slaughterhouse five, the dark tower, 1984, brave new world, the talisman, franny & zoey, anthem, the stranger, breakfast of champions, alice's adventures through the looking glass, insomnia, atlas shrugged, confessions of an ugly step-sister, heroes in hell, wicked...anything about history or war or the military in general. and biographies.
comic books. a lot of them. the walking dead, marvel zombies, loveless, MZ vs. army of darkness, AD vs. the reanimator, nightmare on elm street, starwars:dark times, the gunslinger born... tons of random other stuff, too. bow before me, i am The Uber-Geek.
tons of plays, but my favorites are waiting for godot, a long days journey into night and 12 angry men. call them cliche favorites all you want, they are classics for a reason.
most everything by these men - h. p. lovecraft, stephen king, aldous huxley, william faulkner, lewis carroll, kurt vonnegut, isaac asimov, christian demink, louis-ferdinand céline, jd salenger, l. frank baum, ray badbury, george orwell, samuel beckett, (and woman) ayn rand...
i just love stories.
scott killen...my dad
clara killen...his mom
shannon - who saves me from myself every day and defends my honor every chance she gets.
also kurt vonnegut, who opened my eyes, and john Yippee-ki-yay motherfuckin' mcclane. because die hard owns.
oh, and you know who's not my hero? ann coulter. she's a fucking cunt. and glenn beck. and rush fat-ass limbaugh in case you were wondering. this thing really needs a "HATE" catagory. i think it would round things off nicely. mine would probably just read "fascists and over zealous liberals."
