There's no point to any of this. It's all just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know... a quarter-pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle... and I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt. -Troy Dyer 'Reality Bites'
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose a future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? -Mark Renton "Trainspotting"
I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it's both, maybe both happening at the same time. -Forrest Gump "Forrest Gump"
Now, here's the meaning of life. M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. -Lady Prestener 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life'

They pretty much fall into one of three main types
A:Murder and Mayhem. Movies with gangsters, serial killers, dirty cops, assassins or the plain blood-thirty. Just as long as a lot of people die. A whole lot. Seriously.: Boondocks Saints, Bad Lieutenant, The Ususal Suspects, Taxi Driver, Leon: The Professional, Se7en, Brother, Pulp Fiction, Heat.
B: Life is complex. Morality and friendship and sex and love and family are all complex. Sometimes drugs make things worse. Lets try and learn something about the human condition, shall we?: Clerks, Reality Bites, Thirteen, Garden State, American Beauty, Spun, Reqeium for a Dream, Ghost World, The House of Yes
C: Whimiscal films. Stuff that fills me with child-like wonder: Princess Mononoke, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Goonies, The Dark Crystal, The Never-Ending Story, Alice in Wonderland, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Spirited Away.
Like most American girls in my age group I love 80's teen movies. It should also be noted that I love Quentin Tarentino, Kevin Smith, Beat Takeshi, and Gus van Sant.
Television
I dream of a magical channel, a hybrid of Cartoon Network, Nicktoons, Sundance Channel, The Food Network, TLC, The Discovery Channel, IFC, Comedy Central and A&E that also provides me with any endless supply of crime procedurals, football games,and hardcore porn. Oh yeah, I like Heroes too.
Books
I like too many. So this is either what I am reading or what I have just finished: Batman R.I.P.
Heroes
George Carlin, George Clinton.
Denis Leary, Dennis Miller.
Henry Miller, Henry Rollins
Kevin Spacey, Kevin Smith,
Kurt Cobain, Kurt Vonnegut.
About me: I hate writng these things. I always feel like I am trying to sell myself. I am not big on self-promotion. I like to binge drink, chain-smoke, be a smart-ass, and talk a bunch of bullshit with my friends. I like tattoos and kung-fu. I like movies and books and the ocean. I like cartoons and serial murder, beatnik poetry and baking cookies
Who I'd like to meet: Friends, Fiends and In-Betweens. Salford Lads and Pink Ladies. Dilettantes and Debutantes. Pirates and Poets. Novelists and Ninjas. Geeks, Nerds, Dorks and Squares. Bookworms, Lounge Lizards, Card Sharks and Grease Monkeys..... And now that I am through amusing myself with alliteration and cute word tie-ins I will take my leave of you.
If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire. For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in! --Shel Silverstein
Hey There Cousin!! I Just Realized That I Have Never Wrote You And Decided I Should Say Hey Hey!!! lol. What have you been up too?? Hope your doing well. :)
