Deconstructing/creating; miscellaneous 'puter geekery, drunken debauchery; music, music, music(!); writing (on paper, walls, and trains), saucy wenches, etymologic comparative linguistics applied to modern semantic usage, cornbread.
Hmmm...so many people.
Who to start with?
OK. Assuming he existed, I'd start with Jesus (Christ not Vasquez, 'cause he's just a shady Puerto Rican thug), you know, just to ask him the obligatory "oh hey, btw what do you think of the hypocritical leaders of a religion allegedly founded on your personal example?" thingy. Then Noam Chomsky (I MEAN MOER LEIK NOAM COMSKY AMIRITE?), because he's a cunning linguist, and because, politically, he was everything Ralph Nader should've been. After that, Dante, but only to ask him what the fuck made him think that he was so important that he had to try to outdo the great greek poets (Homer, Virgil, Ovid) and secure himself a place in history by writing quasi-poetic religious parables with himself as the main character (although he does kinda get props for prose)...
then alot of activist heroes and leaders: Joe Hill, Eugene Debs, August Spies (whom my next child - regardless of sex - will be named after), Huey P. Newton, Louis Lingg, the Dalai Lama, Emma Goldman, Geronimo, Mikhael Bakunin, Mahatma Ghandi, Bobby Seale, Guy Fawkes, Marcus Garvey, Rudolf Rocker, Ernesto Guevara, Petre Kropotkin, Sitting Bull, Hallie Salassie (Ras Tafari), El-hajj Malik el-Shabazz, Sun Tzu, Emile Pouget, any member of the Paris commune of 1871, (likewise) any member of the Situationists...to ask them all for advice on how to wake the world back up.
then, in no particular order, the authors: (of which alot of the prior overlay, but for simplicity's sake will be acknowledged as authors, not nutjobs)
Kurt Vonnegut, Michael Ruppert, Jeff Feller, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Voltaire, Steven Hawking, George Orwell, Robert Anton Wilson (whom I'll now have to earn the favor of The Goddess herself to finally meet - may you Rest In Weirdness, Bob. I'll always wish I would've brought your hat when I had the chance), Robert Shea, William S. Burroughs, Terence McKenna, Alan Ginsburg, John Lilly, Kinky Friedman, Jerry Rubins, James Joyce, Leo Tolstoy, Phillip K. Dick, Greg Hill (Malaclypse The Younger), Kerry Thornley (Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst), Charles Dickens, Isaac Asimov, Aldous Huxley, Aleister Crowley, Isreal Regardie, Olaf Stapledon, Ayn Rand (but only 'cause I'm an asshole that loves a good argument), J.R.R. Tolkien, Bertrand Russel, William Shakespeare (or Bacon and his cronies or whoever else penned under that name - I mean, c'mon, who wouldn't?), Karl Marx (as an author, not an activist), Plato, PD Ouspensky, Friedrich Nietzsche, Stehpen Crane, Douglas Adams, Piri Thomas, Robert Heinlein and a bunch of other pseudo-intellectual weirdo clichés...I could go on forever here, but I won't.
finally, of no particular occupation: PHASE2, Christopher Columbus (but really only so I could kill him brutally before he set foot on a boat, and prevent the cultural genocide of my ancestors), Jean-Michele Basquiat, TAKI183, THE_KNUTH, Chris Cunningham, Albert Hoffman, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander Shulgin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Nikola Tesla, That one asian kid from "Goonies" that made nifty booby-traps, Eddie Izzard, Galileo Galilei, Cleopatra, Charles Darwin, Miles Davis, Bill Joy, Marvin Gaye, Pedobear, Hedwig AND his angry inch, Woody Allen, all 3 Stooges (Curly, not Shemp...and to even mention Curly Joe is just blasphemous), the entire Monty Python troupe, James Marshall Hendrix, JFK, the Marquis De Sade, Mao Zedong, Bill Hicks, Meyer Lansky, Otis Redding, Linus Torvalds as a teenager, Barbara Kruger, Betty
Page, Alf, any dead Ramone (there's only 1 left...man that's gotta suck), Kieth Herring, Johann Sebastian Bach, Andy Warhol, Alex Grey, M.C. Escher, every musician in my last.fm profile...etc, etc, etc...ad infinitum
Yeah, yeah...maybe I'll move the authors part to the books section when I feel like it...or maybe I won't. fuck your prefabricated tables! Fuck the man, man! (oooh, look at me. Wow, I'm so non-conformist now. Awwwwwww Yeeaaaahhhhhhhhhh.)
