Television:
I love the Simpsons...."There's no shame in being the town pariah"- Marge,
and Ren and Stimpy..."I have a dream that someday, everyone, everywhere will know the wonders of my nipples"
I also looooove CSI-Miami. Now before you get all self righteous on me, understand that my love for CSI-Miami stems soley from David Caruso and his total inability to act. It makes me laugh out loud to watch this show.
Books:
I read everything I can get my hands on - I really like the old pulp smut novels. By old I mean 1940 and since and by smut I mean anything with even the merest suggestion of sex. David Sedaris, Amy Sedaris (read my mind - I don't know how to entertain any way but under the influence), and I especially like books where the author tells everyone it is a true story and then it comes out that it's all a great big lie.... those are pretty good too.
Heroes:
My "Sweetsie", my mamma, my son, and music is my almighty hero... I may be a self proclaimed juke box hero!
