Political
My political evolution has been rapid but done in a fairly intelligent manner. After bouncing down basically the same path for the past few years I have become an ardent Libertarian. I'm a "South Park Republican" and a "Daily Show Democrat" with huge respect for George Carlin and Milton Friedman. I would say I wish the government could just deliver the mail but they seem to fail at that as well. I'm laissez-faire I absolutely everything besides the envorinment. We are a tiny blue marble in an unquantifiably big ocean of nothing. The browner the marble gets the closer we get losing our few thousand years of organized knowledge. Finally I feel job number one two and three of our government protecting the Bill of Rights at all costs. As long as you don't infringe on my personal liberties do whatever you want. Sodomy, any of the -filias besides pedo-, Kevorkian machines, it's all good.
Religious
After bouncing back and forth from agnosticism to athiesm for a while I finally found my calling. The Flying Spaghetti Monster will bless us all one day with his Noodly Appendage. Everlasting peace with a beer volcano and a stripper factory and no tithing! Sign me up.
Interests
Films
Let me preface this by saying - I'm a huge film guy - I love the stuff. I'm also a movie guy too which means i'll watch something by Fellini then turn around and watch
revenge of the nerds for the tenth time. For a more complete list of films that have graced my presence see the note.[1]
Favorite Ever:
1. Pulp Fiction
2. The Big Lebowski
3. Cidade de Deus
4. Goodfellas
5. À bout de souffle
Music
I really enjoy music but to be honest I'm more of a film guy. Don't get me wrong listening to the solo in hotel california is great but watching luc besson's camera work in the professional kicks considerably more ass. That said hearing comfortably numb is still better than watching all but the best cinema. For a bigger list of favorites see this note.[2]
TOP FIVE:
1. Pink Floyd
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Rage against the machine
4. Bob Marley
5. Van Halen (Not Van Hagar)
Quotes
- In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed — they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
-Harry Lime (Orson Welles from the Third Man)
- Most people rebel because they want to be accepted or admired by others.
- Democracies rarely exhibit much authoritarian behavior except in transition to or from authoritarian states. Many (if not most) citizens of authoritarian states do not perceive their state as authoritarian until late in its development. This makes it difficult to label modern states as 'democratic' or 'authoritarian'. People make this difficulty worse when they use these terms without clear definitions. - Wikipedia
- I AM big. It's the PICTURES that got small.
-Norma Desmond (Sunset Boulevard)
- Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?
-Mr. Blonde
- It's better to burn out than to fade away
-Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)
- That's like your opinion man
-The Dude (The Big Lebowski)
- Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!
-Steve Ballmer
- You have all one job today, to get Vincent Chase's brother Johnny Chase a job. Any job. I don't care if it is a porn shoot in which he is being gang-raped by a gaggle of silverback apes. If there are cameras rolling, everybody wins.
