| Introduction | Just your average Zen Baptist, admitting upfront to being a (mostly) reconstructed hillbilly. If you can't understand the attitude or perspective I come from, it's safe to say that we're from different realities. If you can't start off the conversation with a respectful question about how/why I came to the particular perspective I did, and then find some way that you can relate to it, then I don't have any time to entertain your issues. Give respect, get respect. |
| Interests | History, philosophy, politics, religion, computers, photography |
| Favorite movies | Older stuff mainly. Think Manchurian Candidate (original 'natch), The Fountainhead, Citizen Kane, and then you're in the ballpark. More modern stuff would include 2001 A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, Enemy At The Gates, Birdy, Drugstore Cowboy, Rumblefish, Brazil, Napoleon Dynamite, Tenacious D And The Pick Of Destiny, Blue Velvet, A Boy And His Dog, Westworld, Reservoir Dogs, All Austin Powers films, The Love Guru, All Ace Ventura films, The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Full Metal Jacket, Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, A Clockwork Orange, Zelig, The Pink Panther, Barton Fink, All Monty Python films, All Cohen Brothers films, Being There, I'm Gonna Get You Sucka, Apocalypto, Passion Of The Christ, Transformers, LOTR series, Frank Zappa anything, and a few others. |
| Favorite music | Mostly cool jazz and classical these days. I listen to customized online radio stations and my current rotation is built off of Bill Evans and all like him. Baroque and Renaissance composers in the classical genre. No opera. Big fan of alternative rock pop from punk era on up. |
| Favorite books | Mostly dry historical and political stuff. Currently re-reading The Closing Of The American Mind by Allan Bloom. Finished Michener's Centenial, recently. Just finished Ravelstein, Davinci Code, and a biography on Cicero. Just started What's So Great About Christianity? by D'nesh D'souza, Obama Nation by Jerome R. Corsi Ph.D., and Guilty by Ann Coulter. |
