Film making, writing, cartoons, waxing philisophic while high on caffeine and sleep deprivation (people waste good money to see the world the way I do), wondering at the odd turns that life has taken both within and outside of my control.
Music
Savatage, Blue Oyster Cult, Beethoven, PDQ Bach, Weird Al, Mary Prankster and many others too numerous to bore you with.
Music Video I gaffed:

Movies
the best and the worst. Bring me the City of Lost Children and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Godard and Wood. the highest levels of art, and pictures so bad that they become art due to thier intrinsic awfulness. Citizen Kane and Terror in Frogtown. Battle Royale and Story of Ricky. C'mon. Try me.

Television
I don't really get to watch t.v. - they think it upsets the other patients. But I sneak sometimes.
Right now it's Dead Like Me and Eureka.
Books
history, biology, trash. Right now it's Investment Portfolios, the Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce, The Delta of Venus Anais Nin, and the Folio of Forgotten words.
Heroes
I need a hero for the morning light he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
I have no real heroes, for to idolize a mere human is to be dissapointed. I've done it - the pain is not worth it.
About me: What is there to know? Like every other self promoting idiot on myspace I am an aspiring artist/musician/filmaker/writer. Who will win the race of life? can you win? You die anyway, why are you in such a goddamn hurry?
Which Dead Poet Are You?
You are Arthur Rimbaud - a vital, cannon-changing poet with a flare for tantrums. You tend to write in a fever, and have a liking for the disordered mind. Do't expect people to understand you, for you are ahead of your time. Take this quiz!
Who I'd like to meet: Others who share my interests, hopefully those less jaded and bitter than I. I'm not an easy person to deal with; yet somehow a few insane individuals feel that it's worth while.
Oh, I made this Barbie video in college with Arthur.
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Partly because I love the film music of Jazz composer/film composer Dave ("The Goonies") Grusin, partly because this is one of my all-time favorite musical compositions of his, and partly because I just love this old TV series from my childhood, here's Dave Grusin's theme from the television series "It Takes A Thief" starring Robert Wagner. -Anyway, enjoy! :)
"I think progress is the biggest enemy on earth, apart from oneself… I think we're gonna take good care of this planet shortly… there's never been a weapon created yet on the face of the Earth that hadn't been used…
…We're run by the Pentagon, we're run by Madison Avenue, we're run by television, and as long as we accept those things and don't revolt we'll have to go along with the stream to the eventual avalanche… As long as we go out and buy stuff, we're at their mercy. We're at the mercy of the advertiser and of course there are certain things that we need, but a lot of the stuff that is bought is not needed…
…We all live in a little Village… Your village may be different from other people's villages but we are all prisoners."
-Patrick Joseph McGoohan, actor, writer and director, born 19 March 1928; died 13 January 2009
