It's easy for me to go to Washington and, frankly, be somewhat divorced from the day-to-day challenges people have." -- John McCain in New York, Sept. 11, 2008
Bowie, Floyd, Zep, anything Celtic or Scot, bagpipes and flutes are the shit. 70's, 80's and early 90's punk, Yankton Sioux Peyote Songs....... Classical Piano, Violin, hell even the dulcimer is pretty awesome.... I like everything really.. Well, not really. Mainstream rap, pop, hiphop and country set my gag reflex to choke.

Movies
Withnail and I. Funniest movie ever.
Incident at Oglala, (download it for free at http://www.mininova.org/tor/309247)
produced by Robert Redford. A documentary on the plight of Leonard Peltier (A native brother. He does not know me, nor do I know him. I have however followed his story for years.) who is serving two consecutive life sentences for the alleged murders of two FBI agents. Watch and come to your own conclusion. (http://www.myspace.com/freepeltier) There is a petition in one of the links in my blog for a presidential pardon. Please visit the site.
Television
The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, Animal Planet, (Especially confrontations between rival predators)... Discovery, PBS, and I hate to admit it but I cannot turn off Cops if it is on... Something about idiots just makes me have to watch. Kinda like a train wreck...
Books
Anything in English. Check out Sarah Douglass, Dennis L. McKiernan, Robin Hobbs, George R.R. Martin, etc.. Read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" and "The Trail of Tears" while you are at it as well. Look hard enough and you'll find copies.

Heroes
DECENT PEOPLE! PEOPLE WHO HAVE A HEART!
I am gonna get flamed for this but Mother Theresa, a devout, selfless woman died. As the world prepared to mourn her death, her passing was overshadowed by the sudden death of British Royalty, Princess Di. I am not saying there was anything wrong with Princess Di. I am saying that the death of a woman who spent her life in squalor so that she could bring comfort to countless beings over the long years she lived, was completely and totally forgotten upon the death of British royalty. Sad they both died? Yes. Sadder still that everyone forgot the poor little elderly lady that indentured herself to the service of EVERYONE around her. Why didn't Elton sing a song for her? What really bugged me about the whole thing? The media stopped reporting on the humanitarian Mother Theresa's death and LATCHED on to the "Humanitarian" Princess Di's story. The two cannot be compared in a "humanitarian" sense. And if you say they can, click BACK on your internet browser and go away. The true hero is forgotten while the rich and affluent are glorified for drinking a glass of spirit at a fundraiser. If you get it, you'll get it.... /rant off...
Leonard Peltier is another hero. Read my blogs and explore the links. If you care about human and civil rights, you will.

You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul
Who I'd like to meet: Aliens, ghosts, wraiths, sprites, pixies, under the bed monsters, boogeymen and boogeywomen, wild things, the monster in the closet, giving trees and burning bushes.
'Only those that push things too far can possibly know just how far they can go' I just read this and thought i'd share the inspiration. Have a great day, hope you go far
Hey Jay, thanks for adding me. I loved you on California Dreams, you were my favorite. =D I just got the first 2 seasons for Mother's Day...great memories! Hope you're doing great!
