MUSIC in general, trying to be a good person, I like food.

Honestly, I enjoy live theater much better than any of the above mentioned nonsense.
Movies and television, as my old theater teacher used to say, truly are, the bastardization of an art form.
that's all for now...
I fucking hate television.
If I could have my own TV channel, this is what it would show all day:
Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Welcome Back Kotter, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Real Time with Bill Maher (for news purposes), The Critic, Greg The Bunny, Entourage, Weeds, Arrested Development, all seasons of SNL up to 2002 (??? I think that is the right year. I loved it until Will Ferrell left, ever since then, it has been absolute and total shit.), Kids In The Hall, Upright Citizens Brigade, NewsRadio, South Park, Simpsons, some sweet ass Hanna Barbera cartoons, tons of stand up routines by my favorites, Austin City Limits, Family Guy... I think I would have a pretty solid lineup going!!!
Hmmmm....
Under The Banner of Heaven, Life of Pi, Atlas Shrugged, The Man In White (an interesting take on the apostle Paul by the man in black, Johnny Cash), any book about music culture. I love books and short stories written by Steve Martin, Chuck Pahlunkiak, Hunter S. Thompson, JD Salinger, Oscar Wilde, Orson Scott Card, Phillip K Dick
most people are other people. their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
