..."From this hour i ordain mysef loos'd of limits and imaginary lines, Going where i list, my own master total and absolute, listening to others, considering well what they say, pausing, searching, recieving, contemplating, Gently but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. I inhale great draughts of space, the east and the west are mine, and the northe and the south are mine. I am larger and better than i thought, i did not know i held so much goodness. All seems beautiful to me, I can repeat over to men and women You have done such good to me and i would do the same to you, I will recruit for myself and you as i go, i will scatter myself among men and women as i go, i will toss a new gladness and roughness among them, WHOEVER DENIES ME IT SHALL NOT TROUBLE ME, WHOEVER ACCEPTS ME HE OR SHE SHALL BE BLESSED AND SHALL BLESS ME."...Walt Whitman "Song of the Open Road"

The Hobbit (cartoon), Chick flic's that don't suck, i can't stand Horror or Movies designed to frighten me in a general sense Jeremiah Johnson is my all time fav, i dig fight club and motorcycle diaries, i've cried everytime i've seen the Notebook and continue to watch the damn thing, I like to watch movies that tell a story... preferably a happy one , something involvling the triumph of good and the victory of heroism over the more base aspects of human nature... a healthy dose of romance appeals to my sensibilities as well.
