I'd like to meet:

I'd like to go back in time and meet Marcel Proust. We could visit famous classical musicians in Paris in the middle of the night and pay them to play for us.

Music:

Does myspace want us to define ourselves through entertainment as a marketing ploy, or is it just a symptom of our modern condition? Sounds like someone else's blog. Having said that, you can discover the paramaters of my distractions by looking at my friends list. Maybe you would like to watch some of these assorted music videos? Have fun.

Movies:

Silents AND Talkies! Anything by John Waters, Stanley Kubrick, Fellini, David Lynch, and other things not coming to my mind at the moment. Caves, lawnmowers, underground leaking tanks-does anyone read this stuff?

Television:

I love Tom Verlaine.

Books:

"A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet." -Truman Capote Recently read books:"Against The Day" by Thomas Pynchon and no, I'm not done yet."Point to Point Navigation" by Gore Vidal"2012 The Return of Quetzalcoatl" by Daniel Pinchbeck"The Third Policeman" by Flann O'Brien"The Paradox of Choice-Why More is Less" by Barry Schwartz "A Little Original Sin-The Life and Work of Jane Bowles" by Millicent Dillon"Leave Any Information At The Signal" by Ed Ruscha

Heroes:

The guru-disciple relationship is inherently flawed. Be your own hero.
