Movies
The numbers of this list are of no significance; they're only there to confuse and annoy.
1) "Adaptation": An intellectual tasty-cake. An essay on the word "adaptation," and it's brilliant.
2) "As Good As It Gets": It makes me want to be a better man.
3) "Lost in Translation": Bill Murray is a masterpiece of humor-drenched sadness and nostaligiacal hope.
4) "The Royal Tennenbaums": Quirkitude in (e)motion. Wes Anderson, as usual, drops a golden brick of great into our laps.
5) "From Beyond: The Musical": The Terrible Travesty Team's crowning musical achievement. It makes me weep openly.
Others: I *Heart* Huckabees, Once, The American President, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Black Snake Moan, Falling Down, Once Upon a Time in the West, There Will Be Blood, Amadeus, Blood Diner, Duck Soup, A Mighty Wind, I'm Not There, In America, Lars and the Real Girl, Happiness, Babel, The Shining, Jurassic Park, The Aristocrats, Melvin Goes to Dinner, and almost all of the Horror Films of the World (Unite!)!!!

About me: **creates an intensely detailed Navajo sand-painting, which explains not only my life-story and the characteristics of my personality, but also the meaning of life and the reason, specifically, for you to exist... look closely, it's in there**
Who I'd like to meet: The people who respect this plane of existence, but would rather build another.
The people who have passion for something and understand that not everyone already has that same passion, but believe that maybe, just maybe, the strength of their commitment could move those without.
The people who want to communicate, even if it's a struggle -- it's probably the most vital struggle in the world.
And most of all, the people who never judge and lock onto that opinion. We're all different people each day. That's why we must keep studying ourselves.
Help me put the “FUN” in “FUNKY” this Friday, January 11th at the Baggot Inn in Greenwich Village NYC! Show starts at 9:45; entrance fee just $5. If you’re up for putting it down and want another reminder the day before the show, let me know.
check out Ron Paul for pres. He's got me switching to conservative to vote in the primaries. I keep telling my friends about him, but they say "oh, you're voting?"
"But let me just say this last word. Regardless of what happens, I am going to continue this fight. I am going to campaign up and down Davemerica until we drive the Toms and the Tommunists and those that defend them out of Davington, and remember folks, Davenhower is a great man. Folks, he is a great man, and a vote for Davenhower is a vote for what is good for Davemerica." ~Richard Milhous Nixon
"What it really all adds up to is Dave. Not Dave as it is described in such facility in popular magazines, but the kind of Dave that is Casey, Respect, Order and Encouragement, and NotTomBrennan. Our awareness of this was an incalculable source of Dave. Because real Dave is something unselfish that requires sacrifice and giving, we could not help but profit from it."
I could have told you that you were misguided! You can't burn a casey down. You have to coax it into burning itself down. Silly people. Can't see the forest cause you're taking a piss up close to a tree so other people who are trying to see the forest can't see your willy.
"What happened when we concluded that when Tom Brennan said the way to win the Casey is to burn the Casey down? When all of the sudden we went from—I served, for example, I got here and a lot of old Tommunists were still here. Yet, we did not engage in arguments about Dave, we engaged in arguments about Casey. And all of a sudden, in the, in the mid ‘90s, it became “If you’re not with us, you’re not a good Brennan. If you’re not with us, you’re not Tom. If you don't share a view, you are unTomtriotic.” The whole nature of the debate changed. You had senators talking about the Dave Casey of the United States on the floor calling him Case-Case. And we wonder why that doesn’t percolate through the entire society. We've defined Dave Casey down."
~Senator Joe Biden
"In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this Dave Casey; the belief in Dave Caseys not seen; the belief that there are better Daves ahead. I believe we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to Dave Casey. I believe we can provide Daves to the Daveless, Caseys to the Caseyless, and reclaim Dave Caseys in cities across America from violence and despair. I believe that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face Dave Casey. America!"
