Arkle, the Anthony Michael Hall of Podcasting's Interests
General
You can learn a lot about me and what I'm into by taking my quiz, the Know Your Arkle Quiz (Arkle being my nickname FYI).
As for the rest of you, don't worry too much about getting a bunch of the answers wrong. All the correct answers are given at the end.
Music
It would take ages to list all the CDs I have, all the bands I like, etcetera.
I don't really buy the argument that you can accurately judge someone's personality by their music collection, because if it were the only logical conclusion that could be reached by someone looking at mine would be that I'm a schizophrenic.
Movies
I love lots of movies, but my all time favorite movie is Living Out Loud.
Television
C-SPAN, Countdown with Keith Olberman, Law & Order Criminal Intent, The Boondocks, Family Guy, CSI: Miami, Scrubs, Law & Order Special Victims Unit, CSI, Heroes, Monk, Psyche, The Rachel Maddow Show and Torchwood.
Books
I love to read. I used to read two books at a time, but college put a stop to that.
"Two novels can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other involves orcs."
Heroes
"Democracy is not something that you believe in, or something that you hang your hat on. It's something that you do, you participate. Without participation [it] crumbles." - Abbie Hoffman (1936 - 1989)
Deceased: Molly Ivins, Pat Tillman, Rachel Corrie, John Kenneth Galbraith, Paul Wellstone, Douglas Adams, Edward R. Murrow, Rachel Carson, Jane Jacobs, Betty Friedan, Abbie Hoffman, John Lennon, and Eugene McCarthy.

Clubs: I only ever showed up long enough to get permission to skip high school all together. And I'm glad I did. high School culture has only gotten worse. It's at the point where the cliqueish bullyish nature of the system expands into adult life. Look at the Bush Administration. tell these guy don't act like arogant High School bullys.

About me: I have three rules in place with regards to Friend Requests...
Rule the First: I have to know you from somewhere else (work, school, Facebook, etc.), and then it's probably more likely that I'll send a request to you first...
Rule the Second: Local bands. Now when I say local, I mean from Colorado. I shouldn't have to specify this, but I've gotten requests from bands in California, Georgia, and even Canada. They obviously use a strange defintion of the word local I was previously unaware of.
Rule the Third: Send me a picture of yourself holding a copy of my book And Here's To You, and I'll friend you. NOTE: This one won't apply until the book goes on sale in the Fall of 2008. The profile will be updated to include links to purchase it.

Thanks for the add. ¶ The electoral sprint is over, and we've had a couple of weeks to catch our breath, but we still have a long trek ahead. We need to find a sustainable pace again. ¶ And it will be a new pace, because the terrain has changed. We've reached a higher elevation. I don't know how much more Obama will accomplish, but already he has led us to reject fearmongering, racism, and lies as electoral tactics. Over half our society has now affirmed that understanding is more important than "toughness." And some of the remaining people will now become easier to reach, because they are driven to conform to whatever they perceive as the majority, and that's now us. They may linger in denial for a time, but that will pass. ¶ Our struggle will be less obvious now; our adversaries will be more diffuse. I doubt that we'll be calling for impeachment. I expect that we'll rally in support of Obama on some issues and against him on others, but really it will be about the issues, not about him. ¶ We are still possessed by institutional and cultural demons: the military-industrial complex, consumerism, materialism, alienation, apathy, and other side effects of laissez faire. Those will all be exorcised only when our society understands our present situation and our alternatives. That understanding is spreading, but slowly; the corporate news media isn't helping. ¶ To change the world, we must change our culture; to do that, we must see more clearly; to do that, we must change ourselves. For a start, just talk with people -- that may not sound like much, but really it's huge. Share whatever you've understood about who we are and what we can become. Each of us knows only part of the song. Keep singing, hoping, resisting, questioning, loving. Hand in hand, we may heal this world. We're all in this together. -- Eric
