Books: Funny, one of the things I am most passionate in this world
about is books and language, and yet it is also one of the hardest
things to say anything about.
Right now I am loving spoken poetry. Fantasy was probably my first
love though. Followed by time focused on a non-fiction
religious-spiritual-conspiratorial book phase. About 60% of these
books were in some way related to UFOs or Buddhism. Then for a
while I read mostly the classics like Hemingway, Kerouac, and
Vonnegut, which trailed off into science fiction like Silverberg,
Sturgeon, and Vonnegut. I have read $#!+ tons of almost everything
and have no interest in listing any more names. Recently I have
been more practical in my readings, focusing on self
education.
Movies and TV: I like some shows, Dexter and Breaking Bad are two
of the best, I generally only watch TV at other peoples houses or
occasionally on DVD or Netflix. I didn't plug my tv in for four
months after I moving into my current place. I have a lot of
movies, and used to have more. I appreciate the art of film making
and scripting. I will watch any movie once.
Music: Almost content to say I love music and leave it at that.
Instead of listing a million random artists and genres, I will tell
you some generalities: I hate restaurant mariachi bands. I love
punk, classic rock, music with real poetry, real feelings. I hate
Iron Maiden and U2.
Food: Really I can eat almost anything if nutrition is the aim.
Once saw an episode of Bizarre Foods that took place in Thailand
(where I lived a couple of years) and was left with the impression
I could do the host's job better (or at least with a more stable
stomach) than he could.
Needless to say Thai food is big with me, Asian food in general
really, I've had a lot of it. Red wine, great beer, and almost any
fine spirit. I like vegetarian food, dislike the meat industry.
think people in this country eat too much protein, truly respect
the vegan life path, and have no ethical problem with meat eating
per se. But that said. I love fine food and drink from anywhere and
would literally like to try every sort of ethnic cuisine before I
die.
