If you're asking me to play, I hate these kinda what I haven't yet done lists. They tend to depress me.
So, I'll do some of the later ones. Please forgive the Crazy that will inevitably leak out.
Attracted me to blogging.
1. A sincere belief that my country is on the cusp of a great decline, and yet, only being willing to make snide comments from the sidelines.
2. A sincere belief that what makes it into the political and national security news is a very small portion of what really goes on.
3. A general outrage that my country has been hijacked by political players and is being managed against the interests of its people.
4. A belief that I view things from a slightly different angle(not always a good one) that gives me a unique perspective from most.
5. I want more than anything to spread ideas 1-3 like a virus of discontent.
6. I'm much more confortable expressing myself through a controlled construct than I am in real life.
Say most often:
1 Now, lemme get this straight.
2 So, What you're trying to say here is...
3 That's indcreible, it's beyond credulity...
4 Holy Crap! will you take a look at that.
5 F***in' Wow.
6 How is the best dog in the world today?
7 See, you're assuming I'm wired like regular people.
Books I would recommend
1 Heart of Darkness
2 Ordinary People
3 Clam Plate Orgy(if you don't know it, look it up. It was the very first of its kind.)
4 Carriers
5 1984
Movies
1 28 days later
2 Enter the Dragon
3 Brain Dead
4 Treasure of Sierra Madre
5 Young Frankenstein
See, I generally shy away from these things because they tend to reflect just how crazy-weird I am. I'm much more comfortable framing my expression around props as critique whether its news or art where I can fall back on my analytical skills when I feel I've gotten too far out there.
Also, another category would be works of art or artists. Let me go with Matisse, Kandinsky(abstracts), Basquiat, and Stiglitz.
