About Me

Sitting around with good people and just smoking (nevermind, i'm trying to quit. Emphasis on "trying")
travelling, expanding horizons

I'd like to meet:


Whoever can put a smile on a face, a laugh in a lung, hope and hapiness in the heart. And I dont care if you pick your nose, either.
This would almost be better for people I wouldn't like to meet. I dont like assholes, or people who complain all the time. Flakers, crooks, sheisters, fiends, rats, blimps, lake-growing algae and a certain species of treefrog.
Actual people I would love to meet: Burt Rutan, Paul Allen, Brian Greene, Stephen Hawking, Michael Moore, Nobel......list keeps on going.


p.s.: If you cry when you masturbate, dont talk to me.

Movies:

Trippy movies that make you think or have carazay twists in them.

The first 'Matrix' was good, but the last two, they might as well have substituted Keanu Reeves with Jet Li and called it "I Know Kung Fu".

Fight Club' had a serious impact on my life.

'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' was just bloody incredible.

'Donnie Dark' was some trippy stuff. I like how Donnie dies in the end.

'Dr. Stangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)' is a classic, plain and simple.

'SLC Punk', 'Anarchist Cookbook', and 'Requiem for a Dream' were alright. The stories were intense, but the movies we're pretty much the same as every other.

'Men In Black' and 'Independance Day'.

The Star Trek movies. That's right, stfu.
'Bicentenial Man' and 'A.I.' were awesome.

'The Lion King'. I think I've seen it the most out of all other movie in my life. I gather its based from the influence of democracy on communism in Nazi Europe. Ya, I got real bored in French class one day.

Constantine wasn't too shabby.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. That shit was AMAZING.


So long, and thanks for all the fish!


Television:

We threw our TV away, But here's what I used to watch.."Unscrewed with Martin Seargant" on G4TechTV is one of the greatest shows of all time.

Star Trek The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. Yes, I'm a Trekkie. Stfu. And I like the Discovery Wings channel too, I dont give a fuck.

The Dukes of Hazzard. Thanks Sam
And your anime selection...
Gungrave, Banner/Crescent of the Stars, Akira (of-fucking-course), FLCL

Books:

"Skunk Works" by Ben Rich
"The Art of Happiness" by the Dalai Lama
"Hardcore Zen" by Brad Warner
The Elegant Universe' by Brian Greene. That book is a mindtrip.
"Count Me Gone"
The Vampire Chronicles, and 'Blood and Gold,' by Anne Rice
There are more, I just cant remember them.
And the Hubble.

Heroes:

Helen Margaret Hickey - 1946-2001. You'll always be in my heart and my thoughts, mom.

Burt Rutan and Paul Allen of Scaled Composites, the winners of the Ansari X-Prize who made commercial space-flight possible.

Gene Roddenberry for his contributions for a dream to be made possable.

Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Brian Greene, and everyone else who has contributed to humanity science and understanding of how we exist.


The Dalai Lama and Ghandi for their limitless contributions to world peace and a better world.
You.
