Escaping from whatever dungeon my enemies have thrown me into. Avoiding being thrown into whatever dungeon my enemies have at hand. PerHaps evEn sLeePing with both eyes shut for once. Not telling My lifE story. Art Deco architecture. In the time between, punishing the unjust. Black and white photograpy. Films with depressing endings.
Unfortunately, all those who I would like to meet are dead, nearly dead, mostly dead, soon to be dead, or holed up in the deepest of dungeons, the darkest of prisons, the dankest of cells, or the most unamusing of amusment parks. Among these tragic souls are the prophetic photographer Weegee, the tortured author Flannery O'Connor, several imprisoned members of a certain secret society, and the woman that spawned such a miserable person as yourself.Also, the poor soul seen here:
Ben Folds. Johnny Cash. George Gershwin. Kander and Ebb. Belle and Sebastian. The Kings of Convenience. Eisely. Gogol Bordello. Rachael Yamagata. Regina Spektor. Hulk Hogan. Captain Kangaroo. Miss Feist. Norah Jones. We were married for a brief period.
Taxidriver is the single most inspirational movie of all time. Hook. Leon the Professional. The Boondock Saints. Fight Club. A Clockwork Orange. The Illusionist. Flags of Our Fathers. Donnie Darko. Duck Soup. Buffalo 66. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. Road to Perdition. Crash. Tango.
Ed. Mail Call. M*A*S*H. MythBusters. Man Vs. Wild. King of the Hill. Wonder Pets. Criminal Minds. Kid Nation. Survivorman. Conan the Great. You Bet Your Life. Jeapordy. Dirty Jobs. Ace of Cakes. Cops. Captain Kangaroo.
Anything Steinbeck. The Bible. Sun Tzu's The Art of War is the single greatest book (aside from the Bible) ever. The Zombie Survival Handbook. A Long Way Gone (Memoirs of a Boy Soldier). The Series of Unfortunate Events. Once again, A Clockwork Orange and Fight Club. Weegee's Naked City. That wouldn't hurt. Walter the Farting Dog. And the other Walter the Farting Dog books. You know, the one with the yard sale, and the one with the cruise ship. And then the cruise ship dies in the middle of the ocean. And then Walter was put on a life boat behind the ship because he smelled so bad. And then, he farted and his fart pushed the ship all the way back to land. So, so poignant.
Those who know what it means to be an Associate. Travis Bickle. Frank Castle. Chesty Puller. The other Josh Harris' of the world. Jesus. Sinners make the best saints. The apple of my moustache, Jamichelle. The coolest Bully ever, Gster Punk. Jimmy Stewart. Tobias Rieper. You. LeVar Burton. And least of all (only in stature), Shrimpy.
