CURRENT MISSION

To take the world by storm. And to travel the roads less, exploring the side of cultures that the world isn't privy to.

Music, Movies, and Books

But here are some of my super favorites: 39 Steps, Skulduggery Pleasant, Faust, JPod, Invisible Man (Ellison), Collected Works of Wallace Stevens, Writings of Henry David Thoreau, Writings of Dylan Thomas, Vampire Chronicles, Phantom Tollbooth, Kite Runner, Sophie's World, The Number Devil, Inkheart, The Library Card, Rescue Me He's Wearing a Moose Hat, Deep River, The Great Gatsby, Grendel, Fitzpatrick's War, Loveless, FAKE, Whales on Stilts, American Shaolin, I Can't Win With You!

Movies are tough too...V for Vendetta, Peter Pan (live action), Dead Man, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Alexander Revisited, The Libertine, Brick, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, District B13, Lord of War, Labyrinth, the Rescuers Down Under, Dead Poet Society, Mister Smith Goes to Washington, To Kill a Mockingbird, Bad Education, 12 Angry Men, Everything is Illuminated, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Perfume.

And music is toughest! I go through phases, brief and random fixations. I'l cop out and say "Everything!"
