music
top of any list as it pertains to me is music
listening, grooving, writing, etc...
movies are also very big
the right combination of writing acting and
photography is truly all i ask from this world
plays, books, sights, sex,
stuff that hangs on walls in old dusty buildings
hanging out in buildings till you're old and dusty
newport longs and chocolate milk all also rank very highly
Music
where to begin...
who loves the stephen bishop song 'on & on' like more than anything? how about the chistopher cross tune 'sailing'? gilbert O'sullivan doing 'nothing rhymed'? anyone? just me uh?
growing up the word for music was 'the Beatles'
I don't think a beatles song exists that I'm not well acquainted with
and that's the way I like it

Television
Don't really watch T.V. anymore but grew up on MTV (back when they played videos) and Saturday morning cartoons (He-Man & The Thundercats rule!).
Anything Python and anything with Rowan Atkinson or Jennifer Saunders. Pretty much anything British.
State side I loved; Taxi, Cheers, Roseanne, Moonlighting, Thirtysomething, China Beach, Northern Exposure and Wonder Years.
I have to shamefully admit that I watched more than my fair share of Designing Women, Golden Girls and Just Shoot Me (Guilty pleasures exposed).
Stopped watching T.V. when the 1 hour cop dramas and reality shows started taking over though I did love the first season of The Real World.
The HBO series Six Feet Under is one of the greatest programs ever to land on the dial (thank God for Alan Bell). That thing with Eric Stoltz on Showtime looked cool and of course I'm loving Weeds. South Park is brilliant and The Family Guy is pretty funny too.
I also love talk show guys like; David Letterman, Bill Maher, Dennis Miller, Jon Stewart and, of course, the late great Johnny Carson. Leno is a complete tool!
Books

Heroes
those who feel the fear and know not the way but forage on regardless. those with truth to say and the courage to say it anyway. those who inspire me to keep moving forward no matter what.
About me: yo
i am sainthollywood
saint as in i ain’t no saint
hollywood as in i really am from hollywood
a place that affectionately refers to itself as hollyweird
and the place i blame for what a crazy motherfucker i am
i am also a music addicted-liberal idealist-religious independent-sexual deviate-bearded introvert-
blue-eyed soul/folk-punk singin' song writin'-
long haired hippy freak!
and i am here now hoping to impart some of my fuckupidness with you all
the first clue to my raving insanity is my big fuck-off beard
you see it
don’t pretend that you don’t
some people have afros or mohawks
some dangle hair in front of their faces
others still wear elaborate clothing, piercings or make up
but fooled or not they’ve all got big fuck-off beards
one of the things that the big fuck-off beard elicits
is a tendency for people to refer to me as jesus
yes that of nazareth
the christ child
i deny these accusations whole-heartedly
and quickly remind whoever it is slinging them
jesus was not a white man
much less a fucking pale blue saXon like me
the inherent problem with being the messiah
is that you have to die
young
and I want to live
so for my own selfish reasons
i’d like to decline this honor and
in stead
demote myself to the rank of prophet
or maybe perhaps just a saint.
hey you!!! i've visiting washington sq. like a mad women. all your friends are annoyed i'm sure. i love you and miss you too! i called gibbs i was so worried about you asking if he had seen or spoken with you. i'll keep trying to catch you. i went several times while i had money in my pocket so i could take you out to dinner but with no luck. i'll keep trying. um, i miss you dearly. i would like for you to sleep over next time. i'll come by when i have cash again that way we can have dinner at the asian pub. then you can come to my crib and we can rent a movie, then get trashed, and pass out- NICE! love you big guy, lisa.
Hope all is well For u Champ! Those washington square pics are a brutally honest depiction of a society of people living life. Thanks for sharing. No more bruises love and light
Look at this motherfucker right here! Yo bitch i havnt seen you in forever - we need to catch up, i dont use myspace anymore this is actually the first time i logged in in over a year just to find your ass! Email me biatch! Fundipforyou@yahoo.com (i better hear from you or im going to hunt you down boy!) (yes that was sass!)
Some people, they like to go out dancing And other peoples, they have to work, just watch me now! And theres even some evil mothers Well theyre gonna tell you that everything is just dirt Ya'know that, women, never really faint And that villains always blink their eyes, woo! And that, ya'know, children are the only ones who blush! And that, life is just to die! And, everyone who ever had a heart They wouldnt turn around and break it And anyone who ever played a part Oh wouldnt turn around and hate it!
