interesting things that interest me and grab my interest
------------- these fine people
To be honest i'm not such a major fan of any particular type of music, and certainly not a fan of any particular band or singer. I like certain songs...full stop. Some groups are complete and utter shit...(just browse some of the bands on myspace!), some have one or two good songs and the rest are all crap, and then some bands used to be good and then became media whores who forget that they are musicians and seem to think they are running for Jesus in the next election. Can't stand musicians who try to be ultra cool that it verges on the point of comical...I hate people who look to musicians as "inspiration" or a *gag* "hero" *vomit*. "Oh your music speaks to be...got me through a rough time in my life" bullshit...umm yeah...it's amazing how small your problems must be if "I'm still Jenny from the block" can help you through your nightmare life.
Hmmm...what movies do i like....Scarface??..nope!!..it was ok..but fucked if i can understand why it's such a big thing (might it have something to do with the fact that every "gangsta rappa" on MTV's cribs has it playing on their 500 inch plasma screen tv??) Star Wars...umm...crap...Lord of the rings...Shit..Harry Potter..rubbish!! I like a lot of dumb movies...like the Scary Movie movies, the naked gun series, Mel Brookes movies(Young Frankestein being my personal favourite...Frau Blucher!!) , Europa Europa,SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!!!!!, The Matrix trilogy, SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!!!!!, Clerks, Serial Mom, SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!!!!!, Event Horizon, SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!!!, Jaws, Night of the living dead, The Russia House, Gorky Park, and last but by no means least...best movie ever made...SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!! I keep clear of over hyped blockbusters, not so long ago my routine at the weekend involved being dragged to one craptacular movie after another, now thankfully I have escaped that drudgery and have come to the realisation that movies are supposed to tell a story...not dazzle me with cartoonish special effects and Ham acting!!
I've given up on watching tv these days, afterall when you have a couple of hundred channels and you still say "nothing on tv tonight" then there is a problem. If i do sit in front of the boob-tube it will be to watch something like family guy, british comedies like The League of Gentlemen and Little Britain....and the news, I HAVE to watch Sky News every morning with my coffee and a cigarette. But other than that i don't really have anything that i watch regularly. I know everybody seems to watch things like LOST and Desperate (god really really desperate!!) housewives..but to be honest they are both (in my humble opinion) absolute shit, and are only suitable for children and...well lets just say "slow" people to watch....but hey each to his/her own.
I am not the reader i used to be, there was a time when i would sit and read a book in one sitting, and then have to rush out an buy a new one. These days i will often spend days, weeks or even months to finish a book....sad but true! But when i do read a book, i like to read works by the following: Patricia Cornwell : (my favorite...I LOVE SCARPETTA BOOKS!) Dan Brown: Yeah the Da Vinci code was good, but angels and demons was better Agatha Christie: Well come on...everybody loves a bit of Agatha ChristieI'm far from being a literature snob, in fact nothing bores me more than to listen to a person talking about the insights of Chomsky or the visionary mind of Asimov, reading is supposed to be food for your imagination...not a tool to impress others in an attempt to show some sort of intellectual prowess!
THERE ARE NO HEROES ANYMORE....THE TERM IS BEING HANDED OUT TO PEOPLE LEFT RIGHT AND CENTRE (MOSTLY TO PEOPLE WHO LETS FACE IT ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOB....BUT I WON'T GET INTO A POLITICAL RANT RIGHT NOW) SO I WOULD HATE TO STICK THE TERM "HERO" ONTO ANYBODY I PERSONALLY ADMIRE, I WOULDN'T WANT TO DEMEAN THEM BY PUTTING THEM ON THE SAME PAR WITH SOME OF THE SO-CALLED "HEROES" OF TODAY_______________________________________________________
