argonaughty jason's Interests
|
| General | Inspiring people, poetry translation, reference books, social deviancy, the role of artistic subcultures in shaping society... philosophy, theology, thinking outside the box until the box explodes... intuition, resisting external 'authority' (thus recognizing internal Authority), ridding the world of outdated education theories... pruning trees, maintaining multiple 'junk' drawers, amassing a home library... real estate, leisure, travel, road trips, etc.
| | Music | Doh Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do... not time enough for this one. I'm into most music, but tend NOT to like rap, techno, trendy radio pop, newer country (since early 80s), or anything foreign that tries to sound like american pop.
| | Movies | Hurly Burly, Waking Life, The Five Obstructions, Autumn Spring, Everything is Illuminated, The Gods Must Be Crazy, The Life Acquatic, Lost in Translation, What About Bob, Broken Flowers, Lord of War, Thank You For Smoking, Blow, Traffic, Apocalypse Now, Stripes, Blame it on Rio, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Fear and Loathing, The Big Lebowski, Jesus' Son, Thumbsucker, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, High Fidelity, Almost Famous...
ROCKUMENTARIES: I'm Your Man (Leonard Cohen), Be Here To Love Me (Townes Van Zandt), The Last Waltz (The Band), I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (Wilco), The Wall (Pink Floyd)...
most documentaries, anything mindbending... foreign films...
and (no joke) any B-movies with Eric Roberts, Michael Dudikoff, Fred Ward, or Shannon Tweed. | | Television | TV is only good when it's turned OFF.
| | Books | At age four I began sounding out the words in the captions next to the optical illusions in Mom's psychology textbook. From then on I was immersed in Grandma's encyclopedias... and eventually "hooked on phonics" (which should be spelled 'fonix').
In my early teens, I would read under the covers with a flashlight long after bedtime. When school-required reading became unbearable (Chaucer, Shakespeare, etc), I found solace in fantasy/sci-fi and rock music biographies.
After high school I discovered Jim Morrison's poetry, H. Hesse, Kerouac & the Beats, H. Miller, Anais Nin, Thoreau, Edward Abbey, Nietzsche, Virginia Wolf, Seamus Heaney, Czeslaw Milosz, Jack Gilbert, and I'm still full-throttle.
My personal library... over 1000 titles and growing. | | Heroes | Visionaries, mystics, seers... and women who transcend patriarchy.
[additional heroes pending further review by selection committee]

Some books I've read:
Shelfari bookshelf
TO THE FREAK FARM...
MASHAK TRIVIA: "The discovery of Cheese is attributed to Genghis Khan's army. (Genghis Khan means Universal leader, Born as Temujin 1167-1227). They were carrying Yak milk in 'Mashak' (intestines of the goat) on the backs of the mares. The rennet imparted from the Mashak to the milk and as the temperatures rose, the Yak milk turned into Paneer." —IndiaCurry.com
MORE MASHAK TRIVIA: "The Super Mashak is suited for a wide range of army co-operation missions based on forward air control, forward area support, reconnaissance, camouflage inspections," a defence expert said. "It can also target flying and target towing for training of ground units," he added. —Reuters
