But out of all of them, Robert Rodriquez inspires me the most because he's a one man show!! I also like ANYTHING written by Charlie Kaufman and quentin tarantino!
Television:
At this point in my life, i don't watch much TV and I try not to. But there's a select few shows i always watch. They are...The colbert Report & Daily show, The Boondocks, Real time w/ Bill Maher, South Park.Other shows that I usually watch...I try to watch anything on Link TV, including the planet.
Robot Chicken, Old School Simpsons (6th season is the best), chappelle's show (one of the truly funniest shows ever), reno 911 (i tend to like improve-based shows), scrubs, Malcolm in the middle, 3rd rock from the sun. The funniest ever: married with children. I also like watching late night with Conan O' Brian! like the funniest guy alive!!
Oh yea! lets not forget rocko's modern life!! hah!! My fav. cartoon growing up was ultimate spiderman! when i was younger i also used to watch gilligans island, small wonder and WONDER YEARS!! Oh yea! CAPTAIN PLANET! Really, though, TV is a waste of time.

Both of Mick Foley's books. the rose that grew from concretethat was then, this is now by S.E. Hinton; Journals by Kurt Cobain, amusing ourselves to death, cool gardens by Serj Tankian, A Primer of Ecological Principles by Richard Vogle. Most of Chomsky's works, including Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda. Oh yea...and Anything that F*CKS BUSH OVER (or any prez of the last 100 years for that matter)!!
When i want to stop challenging myself i read Green eggs and ham!
Heroes:
Whats in a hero? No heroes, just people that I highly respect and look up to. Inspirational people. People on that list: Cesar Chavez, Frida Kahlo...She had the most interesting way of looking at life!
"I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best." Frida Kahlo
Vito Corleone...if you dont know who im talking about, watch The Godfather 2, then, hopefully, you'll understand!
Revolutionary Heroes: Emilio Zapata, Che Guevara (the most manufactured, propagated, and exploited symbol ever), Subcomandante Marcos.
Musical Heroes:Bob Marley, Kurt Cobain, and John Lennon. I respect and understand those that are pacifist like John, but i don't believe in it.
Sports Heroes: Muhammad Ali
To a lesser extent i idolize former black panthers George Jackson and Fred Hampton! I will NEVER understand those who list christina aguilara, britney spears, etc. as their heroes. PICK UP A BOOK! I really can't say anyone is my true idol. Maybe my idol does exist, but I just dont know him/her yet. Your idol has to be your true inspiration. My true idol may be out there, i just dont know who he is yet. But when i find out, i'll let u know.
