My Interests

stories, music, waking early, sleeping early, and laughing with others.

Music:

Audio Books and sometimes i listen to: Mount eerie, little wings, the innocence mission, Bach, and Minor Threat.

Movies:

Millions, the Baxter, American Hardcore, Brother Sun Sister Moon, City of the lost children, what about bob, chariots of fire, Dead Poets Society, peter pan (the Disney classic and Hook) Disney's Robin Hood, and young frankenstein.

Television:

"The remarkable thing about television is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely." -T.S. Eliot

Books:

One hundered years of solitude, huck finn, to kill a mockingbird, the Little Prince, The Road less traveled. oh yeah and every printed Salinger word.

Heroes:

poeple that tell the truth, old couples that still hold hands and flirt, silly people, story tellers, MLK jr, Atticus, people that make up songs, Hummingbirds, Max Fisher, Mr. Rodgers, King David, and kids having fun. I also admire people that are really really into being tough because it seems so tiring yet they still pretend they are tough even though they are very afraid.
