I'd like to meet:
I noticed that I miss people the most when they are gone...But I also find that most people don't live up to the illusion they create. I have mixed feelings about musicians, artists, authors and others I think I would have liked to meet because I'm afraid that their body of work says things about them that may not be true. If it is a matter of meeting them and being disappointed or not meeting them and keeping the illusion of who they were....I will take the illusion.Play Stickman Madness 2
Music:
Coldplay, Radiohead, Metallica, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Audioslave, Neil Young, Grateful Dead, Rage Against the Machine, Slayer, Phish, Dave Matthews, Amos Lee, Norah Jones, Pink Ffloyd, David Gilmour, Van Morrison, Johnny Cash...
Movies:
My DVD collection contains Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, Bruce Lee, The Three Stooges, High Fidelity, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Simpsons, Traffic, Eternal Sunshine, Lord of the Rings Tril., to name a few. Don't own a TV, so my collecting of DVDs has come to a halt.
Television:
Don't own one, but when I do watch I like college and pro football, hockey, college basketball, comedies and cartoons --- Adult Swim used to be the only "lineup" of television I watched. Hate reality television.
Books:
Was a huge Stephen King fan for a long time, but have since moved on to philosophy such as "Zen, and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," and other types... John Irving, Chinese Haiku,Charles Dickens, Jack Kerouac. I know this much is true is my latest... Great book. Trapped in the Mirror is without a doubt the most influential book I have ever read....
Heroes:
My father, despite his many flaws, is still my hero. I also look up to my uncle. Anyone who is doing what they love to do and making a positive difference in the lives of people, animals and/or the environment is worth at least passing admiration.
