Forget religion- Music will save your soul! Movies, cartoons, anime, bad jokes and other absurdly funny stuff, making people laugh, working with my hands, taijutsu, robots, sharp things, throwing the best party I possibly can (wanna come?), and making someone's day (I know it's corny, but somebody's gotta do it).
All of my grandparents when they were my age. And I'd like to get trapped on an elevator with Uma Thurman and Rosario Dawson- just to talk, I swear! Then there's Robert Frost, Bill Cosby, Gallagher, Margaret Cho, George Carlin, Mark Twain, Red Skelton, The Marx Brothers - more later!
Anything with a beat! I like dancing too, but the only kind of music that I really don't like is the kind that just doesn't seem to go anywhere, you know? So yeah, I think lots of music sounds good, but that doesn't mean that lots of music doesn't suck.
Wow- I've seen a lot of those. PCU, As Good As It Gets, Amelie, Short Cirucuit, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Dune, Dodgeball, Three Amigos, The Mummy, Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever, The Fifth Element, Big Fish, The Monster Squad, Flight of Dragons, Star Wars', Indiana Jones', Scary Movie, James Bond, The Last Starfighter, Wolf, Bedknobs and Broomsticks(Disney fights Nazis!), more later... ANIME: Gungrave, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, One Piece, Rahxephon, Vampire Hunter D, Lensman, Robot Carnival, Bakuretsu Hunters, FLCL, Berserk, more later...
ADULT SWIM! NO KIDS ALLOWED IN THE POOL! I watch a lot of stuff on Cartoon Network but in particular, Justice League, Megas XLR ('Cause chicks dig giant robots!) SOME of the anime they put on,(I hate dubs) Venture Brothers, Harvey Birdman, FAMILY GUY!!!!! Sealab 2021, I also watch Comedy Central (Anybody else love Drawn Together?) That's all I really watch on TV- I don't like TV that much and I REALLY HATE stupid commercials.
I used to read DragonLance novels almost religiously. From the Teeth of Angels was a good one, the Dune series, Manga books, Various Comics, and the occasional random novel. Geez I gotta read more. I highly recommend House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (He's Poe's brother! She did an album about the same thing! Veritus Coolus!)
My parents, sister and extended family, some really good teachers that I've had in the past, Gary Larson(Far Side), Jim Davis(Garfield), Spiderman, my superhero modernchris (find him on myspace!) MacGyver (dude can kill you with lemon!) and Jesus- not because of the "lord and savior" perception that gets drilled into people's heads, but because just as a human being he was was amazing. Besides all of that, heroes can be found anywhere- teachers, firefighters, police, (yeah I said police!), EMT's, nurses, doctors, social workers...the list goes on and on.
