I'll add more as soon as I find the time
Movies
Citizen Kane, Touch of Evil, anything else by Welles,
The Devil and Daniel Johnston,

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum." -John Nada, 'They Live'
Television
the greatest opiate ever conceived...
I like Adult Swim.
And, speaking of Bruce Campbell, 'The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.' was the greatest tv show ever aired for only 1 season.
'Jack of All Trades' runs a close second.
History Channel. Discovery Channel. Hulu.
'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'
'Curb Your Enthusiasm' with Larry David and Jeff Garlin.
'Assume the Position' with Robert Wuhl.
'Flight of the Conchords'.

Books
Chomsky (not really, but it makes me look smart),
anything Poe,
Chuck Palahniuk,
Jack Kerouac,
eat pray love (...ladies...)
A Week on the Concord and Merrimac (though I actually got bored reading Walden),

Charles Bukowski-especially his voice readings,
Rainer Maria Rilke,
Irvine Welsh,
C.S. Lewis,
J.R.R. Tolkien,
Richard Bach,
Robert M. Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Lila),
Tom Stoppard,
Itamar Moses,
all of Maurice Sendak's work,
Douglas Adams,
Roald Dahl,
Leaves of Grass (whitman),
the rest would be assorted poetry and non-fiction.
some people never go crazy. what truly horrible lives they must lead.
-charles bukowski
walking is simply controlled falling.
and Running means falling faster...
I've been running for some time now,
but the trick, which I've yet to master,
is to fall forward.
--myself
It's nothing perfect or complete, but this is what I've made of my life. Right or wrong, it follows no great master plan.
All you can do is hope for a pattern to emerge, and sometimes it never does.
Still, with a plan, you only get the best you can imagine. I'd always hoped for something better than that.
--Chuck Palahniuk
Jack Lucas: Where would King Arthur be without Guinevere?
Parry: Happily married, probably.
Jack Lucas: Well, that's a bad... that's a bad example.
--The Fisher King
Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
Alice: I don't much care where--
Cat: Then it doesn't matter which way you go.
Alice: --so long as I get somewhere.
Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that if you only walk long enough.
-Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
..
..
Who I'd like to meet:
it's been a rough couple of years... but I've learned a lot
1 - Thanks to those who have remained true friends.
2 - Good Riddance to those who have betrayed my trust.
3 - To the very few who have hurt me (those whom I've loved and trusted enough to make it possible): I have learned to honor your role in my life, and I'm glad for what we had. I could never become the man I'm becoming without the pain you taught me.
People I want to Meet:
more of the True Friends;
I'd also love to meet the perfect woman, a unicorn, a hobbit, and any other mythical creatures.
I am a vagabond and a zen lunatic
Ways that I have made a living:
raw food junkie/dealer at Real.Raw.Live.
currently:
