Hmmmm... I just actually contemplated this one .. Who
would I like to meet living or dead? ... I could always go with one of
the cliche' answers .. Einstein... Buddha.. Jesus .. etc .. not that it
would not be great to meet any of them .. but I think my answer would
have to be Hitler before .. when he was still working on being an artist
.. To convince him to stay an artist .. and if he did not .. kill him ..
Painting by Adolf Hitler
Anything that has a heart ... not contrived .. or contrite .. no new country ... originality goes a long way...
I prefer independent movies .. blockbuster hollywood movies for the most part are not worth the celloid / digital ... Kevin Smith is a SELL OUT .. I used to love his movies .. now .. wow .. Kevin if by some strange cosmic twist you should ever stumble onto myspace and find my little insignificant blurb here... GIVE UP MAKING MOVIES until you find your soul that you obviously sold to the devil. Sorry about that little rant .. pet peave of mine. That pet peave happens to be SELL OUTS.
I try to avoid television... I watch the Simpsons .. though the fact they are drawn in North Korea ... still not exactly to think about that information and I watch Arrested Development ... Its witty... I used to watch the Sopranos, Six feet under and Carnival before I turned of my cable... found I was watching too much television .. it was like crack without the empty calories.
Quantum Physics ... DNA ... Philosophy .. Neil Gaiman's Sandman series ..
I don't know if I have any "Heroes". I believe a "Hero" is a person that happens to be in the right place at the right time and does the right thing. There are a number of people that I respect a great deal .. but I am not so sure I would use the term hero to describe them. Sister Mother Theressa -sp? is the closest person I could consider being a Hero .. but she fits in the saint category better.
