Longboarding, snowboarding, photography, music, theatre, reading, writing, arithmetic, smokin weed, small explosives, haggis.
Anyone. Everyone. No one at all.
Okay enough cryptic shit. I like people who are straight up. I like people who know what they want, at least today. I like people who think my lame and sometimes offensive jokes are funny. I like people who think their own lame and sometimes offensive jokes are funny. I like people who like beer and weed and occasional mushrooms, or at least who don't mind that I like those things. I won't ask you to carry my cross, so don't ask me to carry yours. Those fuckers are heavy.
Just about anything. But everybody says that.
I like:
Old rock 'n' roll, especially on vinyl. Probably 80% of what I listen to.
Good hip hop. I've even heard some really good stuff that some might call "gangsta". I will say there's more bad than good in the hip hop world though
Folk music. What does that mean? Everything. And that's how I like it.
Some electronic stuff. dnb, jungle, break beats, some speed garage, very thin selection of house... again, you gotta wade through gallons of shit to find a few ounces of gold
Weird stuff. I may not be able to listen to a whole album, but anything that a large percentile of the population would say is weird is entertaining to me for a time.
Want me to go on? Too bad. This is boring. Got a specific group in mind, ask.
Weird, dark humour is best. Don't like scary movies; real life scary enough.
Some faves from the last few months:
Napoleon Dynamite - by no means genius, but I laugh like a Japanese schoolgirl every time I watch it
Storytelling - from director Todd Solondz, who brought us Happiness and Welcome to the Dollhouse
The Ladykillers - sort of dumb, but just weird enough that it makes the cut
Fahrenheit 911 - Michael Moore is easy to hate, but he's a necessary character in these times
I don't know, more of them. My attention span for this kind of thing is shorter than a 13-year-old's beard
I watch, very often but almost exclusively, Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park, King of the Hill, Kids in the Hall, and several stand-up shows
Simply put, almost all of my tv time is spent on the Comedy Network and Teletoon, with a couple of token visits to Discovery Channel.
I'm going to kick out the authors:
Joseph Heller (Catch-22, God Knows)
Edward Abbey (The Monkey Wrench Gang, Hayduke Lives)
John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, The Winter of our Discontent)
Paul Theroux (The Mosquito Coast)
Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (Player Piano, Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, Welcome to the Monkey House)
Sue Townsend (The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Age 13 3/4; The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole; True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole; Adrian Mole, The Lost Years; Adrian Mole, The Cappucino Years; Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction; here's hoping she puts out another sometime soon!)
Mark Twain (aka Samuel Langhorne Clemens) (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn)
Lewis Carroll (aka Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) (Alice In Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass)
Aldous Huxley (Brave New World)
There is more, but you've probably lost interest. I know I have.
I borrowed a bunch from Hogan
