music-all sorts punk country pop and whatever else
bicycling , but thats mostly to work
ive got a vespa motorscooter but its kinda broke still...soon itll run again to terrorize the streets
lately ive neen digging on some ideas vaguely relating to buddhism but wouldnt call myself that...
my main scooter...its a little newer and not quite as italian but I dig it.
I like artwork as well, i'll get into kicks of doing artwork..
I also get into spells of collecting stuff...miniature scooter toys, homer simpson stuff, homies, toy skeletons, band posters though Im not a silkscreen poster nerd.
i dig art by different folks...daniel johnston, andy warhol, mark rothko, tarra whitehead, ray johnson, salvador dali, joe coleman, winston smith, raymond pettibon, jon langford, matt nash...i like more primitive looking art, not necessarily "outsider" art...i love seeing hand lettered signs scrawled out...I also love seeing stencil art and graffiti art even though crap tagging is kinda annoying. I also like photography even though Ive gotten lazy and dont do anything anymore since Ive gone digital and i dont feel artsy with it...i like seeing tattoo artwork even though I think Ill stop at one...

Movies
i like all kinds nothing stands out right now...
ill gripe though, how many remakes do we need, why not just rerelease the original...comon, there is no need for another ghostbusters, revenge of the nerds or teenage mutant ninja turtles movie....
Television
i watch some TV mostly the stupid hook you in to a convoluted plotline stuff like Prisonbreak and Lost, also im digging on the soap operaness of the OC which has gotten better in its last set of episodes and of course the Office and Scrubs
Books
Living Buddha Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hahn...shows the paralells and convergences of the Christian and Buddhist religions and philosophies
Heroes
RIP Utah Phillips.
cantankerous folk singer, poet, hobo, anarchist, and just all around brilliant muckraker...i found out about his passing late but its sad nonetheless, the world needs more folks like Utah to make it a better place
Thich Nhat Hahn is pretty interesting,Buddhist monk, peacemaker, he got Martin Luther King to publicy speak against the Vietnam war, go exiled from VietnAm and was considered by both the American and North Vietnamese governments as an enemy.
