I write about stupid, meaningless things in a far off universe, in a piece called a "blog" over at http://seanbowie.blogspot.com.
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes. That's pretty much it.
I love music and my iPod. Thus, they are combined, and contain the following bands and musicians:
Brand New, Say Anything, Saves the Day, Thrice, Jimmy Eat World, Death Cab for Cutie, The Format, Ben Kweller, The Early November, Coheed and Cambria, Keane, The Postal Service, Thursday, Sufjan Stevens, Steel Train, Days Away, The Mars Volta, Underoath, Cassino, and so many others.
As most people know, I'm a huge movie buff. I have undertaken a project (somewhat inspired by the American Film Institute and their continuous lists) to name my Top 25 films of all time, in order. To accomplish this, I have first compiled by 50 all-time favorite films, in alphabetical order. This list will then be narrowed down to the Top 25, and revealed in order of their brilliance.
Here are, without further ado, my 50 all-time favorite films:
All the President's Men

Amelie
American Beauty

I only watch quality television. Therefore, there's not a lot I can watch. I will divide this into three distinctly different categories:
Comedy:
Arrested Development (best show ever made), Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Simpsons (seasons 4-12 only), Extras, Family Guy (seasons 1-3 only), Undeclared, The Office.
Drama:
The Sopranos, Rome, Freaks and Geeks, Entourage.
Other:
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Maher.

Alexander Hamilton
Abraham Lincoln
William (Bill) Clinton
