I'd like to meet:

Someone who says "dude" more than I do.

Music:

a variety...

Movies:

Top Secret,Real Genius(anything w/Val Kilmer), Labyrinth, The Cell(for the saturated colors and imagery),Royal Tenembaums,Napoleon Dynamite,Half Baked,Snatch,Oceans Eleven,Usual Suspects,Confidence(Edward Burns looks amazing),Sneakers,Fear and Loathing,Monty Python(Holy Grail,Meaning of Life,etc.),Fantasia(the littlest dancing mushroom is my favorite),Lord of the Rings,Legend,Princess Bride,Monsters Inc.,Shrek+2,Harry Potter,Pirates of the Caribbean,Sixteen Candles,Pi,Gothika...

Television:

TV rots your brain...but on those days when I am committed to the couch, comedy central, food network, tlc, discovery, HBO(two words:On Demand)...

Books:

just about anything by Kurt Vonnegut(favorite thus far is Slaughterhouse 5, and the collection of short stories entitled Bagombo Snuffbox, especially "Xanosphere"), the Dictionary(I do mean Webster's Unabridged, its entertaining...reading random definitions),The Tao of Pooh(very accessible introduction to taoism using Winnie the Pooh for explanation of ideas, I highly recommend it),The Portrait of Dorian Gray(Oscar Wilde evokes such beautifully detailed imagery with his choice of words, its amazing!),The Rocking Horse Winner(D.H.Lawrence, an interesting short story),The Stranger(Albert Camus),Lost Horizon(James Hilton),e.e.cummings,Robert Frost,Khalil Gibran,Immanuel Kant,Herman Hesse,Jonathan Kozol,Politically Correct Stories(Bedtime and Holiday)of James Finn Garner,The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories(Tim Burton)...mythology/folklore/fairytales,philosophy,astrology , and I'm a sucker for environmental magazines, although at times issues are presented so bleakly(like the tv news:death!death!death!...plague!pestilence! global warming!...&don't forget...death!)

Heroes:

ummm...Mr. Clean(the old animated one from the eighties, not the weird boxy-headed computer animated fumble recently released on the television airwaves) he was a handy-man,pirate(at least I thought because of the earring) and tidy, isn't that what everyone wants?...oh, and Popeye, because he eats his spinach, and then grew muscles(I swear that's why I ate my greens as a child)

My Blog
