First of all, Im a weirdo, so when you misunderstand me, which you WILL do, dont feel bad, because I already knew youd do it...its okay. Still, though, I keep going in the hope (however unfounded) that there will be one woman, someday, who will understand me, and then I will begin the implementation of my plans to design my way out of the box that I live in...woe be unto the world when that happens, or at least unto the greedy bastards who run the world...until then, fuck you if you cant take a joke, and dont talk so loudly, it echoes in here.
The one woman that God put here on this earth who understands me, believes in me because she loves me, believes in my vision because it ignites her ambition, and who tells me her dreams so that I may build them for her...for the sake of my sanity, Im convinced that shes around here somewhere, and when I find her, she and I will have a long talk about the fact that shes not a set of car keys, so therefore she didnt have to stay lost quite so long...
Mr. Koolaid, so I can ask him how he skates the half-pipe without spilling a DROP...Hulk Hogan, so I can call him "brother" and hear him call me "brother" back...Barney the Dinosaur, so I can bitch-slap that PURPLE BASTARD...and finally, the Map on Dora the Explorer, so I can discuss with him the fact that it's BAD to scare children away from studying geography, and possibly thereby convince him to STOP EATING PEOPLE WHEN HE COMES OUT OF THE BACKPACK!!!
In music, I listen for good rhythm and good lyrics, but there are times when even static is soothing to me...I havent been exposed to a lot of different styles of music, so I dont really even know what my "favorite" kind of music is, but I generally listen to rock/metal-type stuff. I also like rap...west-coast from the late-80s and early-90s, please...Tupac, NWA, Ice-T, Sir Mix-A-Lot, that sorta thing. Basically, if it sounds good to me, I like it, no matter the genre, so yeah.
Braveheart, The Patriot (Mel Gibson, not Steven Seagal), Dangerous Liaisons (John Malkovich is the MAN), Cruel Intentions, The Ten Commandments, Gone With the Wind, The Winds of War, As Good as it Gets, The Sound of Music, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (with Gene Wilder, that is...havent seen the new one yet, but I am a Depp fan), Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, The Lawnmower Man, the Matrix movies, the LOTR movies (for content they BLEW, but visually they were very impressive), etc, etc...Im not a real big fan of slasher/gorefest killer movies in general, but a good psychological horror film is right up my alley.
Frasier, Will & Grace, Friends, even though I hate myself every time I hear the theme song...Futurama, Robot Chicken, Family Guy...I love the History Channel, especially Modern Marvels...yeah, I dig machines.
Plutarch, Edgar Allan Poe, J.R.R. Tolkien, R.A. Salvatore, Raymond E. Feist, Laurell K. Hamilton, Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, and others...I love Star Trek novels, fantasy/sword-and-sorcery novels, especially those set in the Forgotten Realms...I also like the different Time-Life history series...Im not much of a horror fan, but what Ive read of Koontz, King, and John Saul I have liked.
Pericles, Solon, Fabius Maximus, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Octavius (Augustus) Caesar, his half-sister Octavia (Mark Antony's wife who lost him to Cleopatra), and Brutus' wife Porcia (both awesomely virtuous women, and models of what I want in a wife)
