I'd like to meet:
All the great philosophers and thinkers; religious, political, literary, psychological. I believe they would still have a tremendous amount of knowledge to teach us, and show us, we really haven't come that far. Also, anyone who shares my passions and interests, i'm always open to new friendships.
Music:
I enjoy many types of music, and do not believe in claiming one form of musical style or genre surpasses another in creativity and style. Some of my favorite bands and musicians are: Creed, Disturbed, Godsmack, Korn, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, Eminem, Nickelback, Bon Jovi, Scott Stapp, AC/DC, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Elvis, and 3 Doors Down.
Movies:
I highly enjoy watching films, it is another one of my favorite passtimes. However, I like films with a meaning, therefore I primarily watch and enjoy independent films. These are some of my favorite though, you've probably never heard about half of them: Prozac Nation, Thumbsucker, The Squid and the Whale, Dedication, 3 Ninjas, Dead Poets Society, Mr. Hollands Opus, American Beauty, August Rush, Bridge to Terabithia, Almost Famous, Stage Door, Terminator Series, Mean Creek; there are many more.
Television:
My television is primarily centered at this time around politics. However, I do enjoy watching some of the comedy shows: George Lopez, Fresh Prince, Home Improvement, Greek, 8 Rules, Reba, and I enjoy some stuff on the Disney Channel.
Books:
Obviously, since I am English major I like and love many books. These are some of my all time favorites: The Road, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Boy's Life, Rise Do Not Be Afraid, Fahrenheit 451, Romeo and Juliet, Plato-Symposium, Holy Bible, The Davinci Code, Skintax, Dispatches from the Edge, Audicity of Hope. There are also many short stories and poems I've encountered which have a place in me.
Heroes:
My Mom, she is the strongest person that I've ever known!
