sex. drugs. rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism. vegan foodstuffs (check it out, i made these!).
i could, if i wanted, get along with most anybody. i choose to surround myself with more-than-mediocre women and men. spineless and disloyal types are a dime a dozen, but my friends are truly gems.
aerosmith, air, avenue q, beach boys, beatles, belle and sebastian, ben folds, ben folds five, ben lee, bjork, blonde redhead, brand new, chemical brothers, courtney love, cursive, eisley, fiona apple, franz ferdinand, garbage, hole, james mcmertry, jimmy eat world, killers, lords of acid, marilyn manson, michael andrews, moby, muse, nine inch nails, panic! at the disco, postal service, radiohead, rilo kiley, rob zombie, rolling stones, sheryl crow, smashing pumpkins, sneaker pimps, stabbing westward, susan werner, system of a down, tokyo police club, tom petty, unwritten law, yeah yeah yeahs
and any non-sequitur cover which makes those who enjoyed the original song uncomfortable
my favorite book of all time is invisible monsters -- all other texts pale in comparison. those which are the least not-as-good include: the technology of orgasm, ape and essence, after many a summer dies the swan, the eight, brave new world, choke, survivor, chinese takeout, the fuck-up, dogrun, bag of bones, corporation nation, island, taltos, lasher, how it all vegan, animal liberation, the stand, lullaby, haunted, diary, a home at the end of the world, in the flesh: the cultural politics of body modification, time must have a stop, the garden of vegan, american mania: when more is not enough, high and mighty: SUVs -- the world's most dangerous vehicles and how they got that way, stolen harvest: the hijacking of the global food supply, dry, sellevision, not much fun, the thief of always, the perks of being a wallflower, the sexual politics of meat: a feminist-vegetarian critical theory, the heart is deceitful above all things
anyone who denies him/herself for the sake of another. simple as that.
