I enjoy:
most diet beverages, correcting grammatical mistakes, pretty music, literature, acting, questioning modern ideas / ethics / actions, etc., asking questions that cannot be answered, and changing the perceptions of others.
I believe:
that all beliefs are based on material / observations that is quite difficult, if not impossible to verify / certify, yet is considered to be true because of majorities; that thoughts are tangible matter capable of being shared / felt; that all modern inventions will eventually crack, that the technological world will fold, and that the human race will resort back to living formerly demonstrated in previous eras; that nothing can be proven; and that the world must be changed (see 'Who I'd like to meet').
Elliott Smith,
"We've never lectured or insisted that everyone should believe the same things that we do; instead we've pleaded and pleaded and pleaded -- we've thrown these records into the ocean like so many hopeless transmissions, praying and hoping that some people would get the point, the simple simple simple point; that the world we live in is lost, violent, and obscene; that the relations we have with each other and ourselves are mostly alienated, that together we need to begin figuring out how to fix ourselves, our communities, our world." - Godspeed You! Black Emperor,
