just...inspiration

Music:

Television:

TV is evil, nevertheless: Comedy Central & HBO - Lucky Louie, Bill Maher, etc, and THE WIRE: that show is SO crucial - STAY AWAY FROM BET it will make you stupid if you watch more than an hour a day - believe that, anyway I also like cartoons,Tom & Jerry's my all time classic (who needs dialogue when an iron across the face says so much!), Drawn Together, South Park & Adult Swim

Books:

Ghetto Nation by Cora Daniels, The Portable Promised Land by Toure, the Ego Trip List books, anything by Walter Mosely, and I collect poetry chapbooks of all types

Heroes:

people who stand up for other people - very few of us do that anymore
