I'd like to meet:

Did you see her shoes? The eyes can mislead, a smile can lie, but the shoes always tell the truth. They were stylish and very painful to wear. Only a incredibly shallow insecure woman would rather be in pain all day long than wear a decent looking comfortable shoe and thats exactly the type I don't need around here. - Dr. Gregory House



Music:

Some of my favorite bands would have to be: Bouncing Souls, Dropkick Murphys, Descendents, ALL, Propagandhi, Millencolin, Madcap, Pennywise, Hit the Lights, The Get Up Kids, Reggie and the Full Effect, Thursday, and The New Amsterdams

Movies:

Favorite movies are Eternal Sunshine of the Spottless Mind, Donnie Darko, Saving Private Ryan, and Fight Club.

Television:

I usually only watch CNN or the History Channel.
When I do watch TV I watch House. Thats it.

Books:

Profit Over People by Chomsky, Against Love by Laura Kipnis, Had Enough? by James Carville, and the news. Not exactly a book but I read enough of it to be considered here.

Heroes:


I saw a soldier kneeling down, for this was the first quiet place he had found. He had traveled through jungles, rivers, and mud. His hands were scarred and toil-worn. He had fought for days from night ‘til morn. He folded his hands and looked to the sky…
I saw his tears and they welled in his eyes. He spoke to God, and this is what he said:
God bless my men, who now lie dead, I know not what You have in mind, but when You judge, please be kind…when they come before You they will be poorly dressed, but will walk proudly for they have done their best. Their boots will be muddy and their clothes all torn…but these clothes they have so proudly worn. Their hearts will be still and clod inside, for they have fought their best and did so with pride. So please take care of them as they pass Your way…the price of freedom they’ve already paid.

The blinding light, a turn away.

Well, I suppose the spontaneous incarnation of this blog says something about the reflective, sentimental mood I have suddenly fallen into. My life, and mood swings in particular are usually dependent...
