I listen to The Ramones, The Sex Pistols and The Misfits among other artists. Did I mention The Clash? LOVE The Clash. " YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH; AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT DUMB ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY TRY IT. " -JOE STRUMMER
Movies
There should be only three movies allowed in the universe, 'Blazing Saddles', 'Cadyshack', and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'.
Television
I threw one off a third story roof and it landed on a city sidewalk. It made a great sound.

“It isn’t true that there’s a community of light, a bonfire of the world. Everyone carries his own, his lonely own… My light is out. There’s nothing blacker than a wick. Inward I said I want to go home- no not home, to the other side of home where the lights are given. It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone. The world is full of dark derelicts. The better way-- the Marulli of that old Rome would have known it-- there comes a time for decent, honorable retirement, not dramatic, not punishment of self or family-- just good-bye, a warm bath and an opened vein, a warm sea and a razor blade.” –John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

"He looked up at the bright, high, blue early summer sky as he raised the leather wine bottle with his good arm. He was fifty-two years old and he was sure this was the last time he would see that sky.
He was not at all afraid of dying but he was angry at being on this hill which was only utilizable as a place to die... Whether one has fear of it or not, one's own death is difficult to accept. Sordo had accepted it but there was no sweetness in its acceptance even at fifty-two, with three wounds and him surrounded on a hill.
He joked about it to himself but he looked at he sky and at the far mountains and he swallowed the wine and he did not want it. If one must die, he thought, and clearly one must, I can die. But I hate it.
Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it or fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond."
- Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ch. 27
