*I feel that what one reads is more important than what movies have captured ones attention. I have always had an insatiable desire to read....it would be nearly impossible to try and narrow my interest down to a few books. However, certain authors have most certainly had an influence on my journey....... Jack Kerouac, Dylan Thomas, Marcus Aurelius, Ralph Emerson, Dr. Seuss, Edward Abbey, William S. Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, Maya Angelou, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint Exupery, Krishnamurti, Osho, Sammuel Clemmens, Leonardo Da Vinci, Machiavelli, ThEdgar Allen Poe, Michelangelo, Emily Dickenson, Ernest Hemmingway, Alice Walker,etc, etc *truth be told, I am partial to the book 'Harold and the Purple Crayon'
Idols
I'm not much for hero worship and believe that most people are heroes in individual ways....I do raise a glass to my mother, sisters and those like them that put others first, anyone that has the courage to stand up for his/her beliefs, Rosa Parks, Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint Exupery, Marcus Aurelius, Tim Mackey (Storm King 1993), John Muir, Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Krishnamurti, Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King, Che Gueverra, Albert Sweitzer, Mark Twain, Audrey Hepburn, Edina Monsoon, Lucille Ball, Dr. Seuss, Cat Stevens, Joan Baez, Shel Silverstein, Mother Theresa, Leonardo DaVinci, those who have served their country honorably, the innovators, Benjamin Franklin, Ansel Adams, Annie Leibovitz, whomever invented the toy 'hippity-hop', those who persevere, the ones who attempt to do what is right whether or not s/he receives recognition for it, & those who truly appreciate/listen to music, but, not with their ears, CHEERS!
Video Games
Rarely do I actually play; however, I'll admit it....I like the E = everyone, adventure games....I kind of have this Peter Pan (never gonna grow up) syndrome going on...LOL...
