| General | i think you should know a little bit about that already.
like creating a unified inclusive community. | | Music | i love tapes and records and now i'm defending the CD...because everyone burns CD's and they skip and have the wrong track-listing and other info. or worse yet, they have all their misinformed musical selections on laptops and iPods...and they sound like the Once-ler singing in a Whisper-ma-phone.
(this is not necessarily the music i like, it's just what influenced me and got me here. like, i understand the influence and diversity of Neil Young...but it didn't do anything for me. i like him. i also love Tom Waits...but he didn't lead me forward either. Sonic Youth i can respect...but i can't fool myself into enjoying them)

*that "helper-dog" that saved the day. after a disabled woman's cat started a house fire, her specially trained dog came to the rescue (bringing the phone and her artificial leg and getting her outside). then the dog went back inside to save the cat yowling upstairs, and never came back down.
*the tallest man on earth who used his longest arms on earth to reach into some dolphins throats to remove plastic that was gonna kill 'em.
Adam West's Batman in the original Batman movie is the greatest "super hero".
