Vegan Wookiee's Interests
General
pro-*all*life action. veganedge. cooperative economics. playing fair and doing something positive. learning everything and reading random Wikipedia entries. knowing what's going on in the world, and telling you about it. using the word "douchebag"...a lot. heavy lifting, running farther, running faster - to prove to you that VEGANS GET ENOUGH PROTEIN.
Music
Whatever goes xBOOMx.....stuff I've been listening to lately: The Go! Team, The Arcade Fire, Camera Obscura, Daylight's for the birds, Mogwai, IAMX, Air, Hole/Courtney Love, Rainer Maria, Silversun Pickups, Public Enemy, The Polyphonic Spree, Sonic Youth, Deerhoof, Thom Yorke, LCD Soundsystem, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Tilly and the Wall, The Sounds, The Electric Soft Parade, Kasabian, Cat Power, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, !!!, The Good, the Bad, and the Queen, Bjork, Kent, Mercury Rev, Lamb, and a thousand other bands that stand out (to me). and that funky Tecktonik stuff in France - I dig that too.
Movies
Set it Off, The Grey Zone, Welcome to Sarajevo, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Last of the Mohicans, The Virgin Suicides, Boondock Saints, Come and See (*Byelorussian flick*), Angus, Home for the Holidays, Tank Girl, Empire Records (and other 90s movies), the last five James Bond movies, Savior (about the Bosnia/Serbia war), and of course - anything and everything STAR WARS
Television
Roseanne (the real blue collar comedy). I do not miss an episode of South Park.
Books
Wikipedia and podcasts, and whatever I've borrowed from the library.
Heroes
(Almost) All my heroes have files. None of my veganity (?) would be made possible without Andy Stepanian, who is in jail because our government sucks balls (among other things).
Heroes are only who we make them out to be. Having a "hero" is one thing, but you should aspire to do what made them heroes yourself. Inaction is acceptance.
About me: Bleeding heart vegan hippie/anti-hippie:
It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked. - Haile Selassie .................................
Compassion is the chief law of human existence. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky .......................Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, Man will not himself find peace. - Albert Schweitzer ..........."Pro–life arguments are now based on scientific evidence and the pro–choice arguments are not. That is a cultural, historical fact. ... Nowadays, it is pro–lifers who make the scientific question of when the beginning of life occurs the key one in the abortion controversy, while pro–choicers want to transform the question into a ‘metaphysical’ or ‘religious’ one by distinguishing between mere biological life and ‘moral life.’ ... Until recently pro–choicers might have cast themselves as defenders of rational science against the forces of ignorance and superstition, but when scientific inquiry started pushing back the moment when significant life ... begins, they shifted tactics and went elsewhere in search of rhetorical weaponry."
--Duke University Prof. Stanley Fish, in a debate at the 1996 convention of the American Political Science Association
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I feel it my duty to cry aloud and spare not. I am not averse to having the good opinion of my fellow creatures. I am not averse to being kindly regarded by all men; but I am bound, even at the hazard of making a large class of religionists in this country hate me, oppose me, and malign me as they have done—I am bound by the prayers, and tears, and entreaties of three millions of kneeling bondsmen, to have no compromise with men who are in any shape or form connected with the slaveholders of America. I expose slavery in this country, because to expose it is to kill it. Slavery is one of those monsters of darkness to whom the light of truth is death. Expose slavery, and it dies."
-Frederick Douglass
