music (listening to/playing guitar& singing), trying to absorb myself in worthwhile literature, going to see phish, writing (when i'm in that kind of mood...i used to do it all the time, but i just don't know anymore), taking long car trips to just about anywhere, being an insensative smartass cynic with seantwo (aka superseanic ) at work (but not really meaning most of the things i say with him...it's just an effective means of relieving workday stress), finding people to trade live phish shows with and then doing just that, general observation and interaction, hanging out, being a dude.
is this as if to say i should be expected to have credentials regarding the type of person i would and would not like to meet? sure there are some people that i might not like, but i wouldn't know that if i'd never met them, would i? and by the very same token, there are my best of friends as well. yes, i'd love to meet you, but i'd ESPECIALLY love to meet you if you're ali g.
pink floyd, phish, ben folds/ben folds five, the flaming lips, radiohead, modest mouse,death cab for cutie, iron and wine, desaparacidos, the beatles,south, mr. bungle, keller williams, badly drawn boy, vida blue, led zeppelin, rainy day regatta, rome is the light (i miss my old band...le sigh.), aphex twin, crosby stills nash and young, the cure, nick drake, american football, elliott smith, ugly casanova, the deftones, team sleep,goldenboy,steve burns, quasi, etc. etc. etc. so so much more. i hope i didn't forget anything that ought to be obvious. i tend to do that sometimes.
a clockwork orange, finding nemo, bye bye love, fight club, evil dead evil dead evil dead EVIL DEAD!, requiem for a dream, donnie darko, office space, american beauty, magnolia,anchorman, monsters inc., saved, eternal sunshine, ali g in da house, high fidelity, stewie griffin: the untold story, the life aquatic, royal tenenbaums, almost any modern ridiculous stoner comedy, the exorcist.
da ali g show, most of what comes on adult swim, family guy, simpsons, curb your enthusiasm. i sincerely believe that reality television is one of humanities lowest of all time lows. if it gets much worse than it already is, i'm convinced the world will attempt to swallow itself. i'd hardly blame it.
life after god (coupland), the typical catcher in the rye (salinger...duh), hot water music (bukowski), a clockwork orange (burgess), 1984 (orwell)
ALI G, seantwo (superseanic), ben fucking folds, thom yorke, trey anastasio, roger waters,ron bergundy, john lennon, john stewart, my dear old dad, devan barber and maria medas (they saved my life this past valentine's day. i owe them both immeasurable gratitude, and i promise them both that my thanks are never finished being given).
