I think one short passage can sum up very well what the
Bible is all about, if we're quoting scripture here.
Matthew 21:17 - "And he left them, and went out of
the city into Bethany, and he lodged there;"
Think about it, won't you?
Anyway, some of my favorite things, taken from not that
much experience yet.
Music - Gaelic, especially Enya; Jazz, especially
'Kind of Blue' and Stephane Grapelli; Classical, especially
Sibelius; Scandinavian, when good; Medieval, only Medieval
Babes; They Might Be Giants and Tori Amos, who
have no category.
Movies - 'Primary Colors' for politics, 'Rear Window'
for Hitchcock, 'MST 3K: The Movie' for comedy (fuggin'
hilarious, for anyone who hasn't seen it),
'The Omega Code' for sheer crazy propaganda, 'In Dreams' for
creepiness, 'Life is Beautiful' for a date movie,
'Willow' for fantasy, 'Reds' for one I swear to see ASAP.
Political Stances - 'Choice' for abortion,
'Pro' for gun control, 'Pro' for gay marriage,
'Pro' for universal health
care, 'Con' for mowing down the elderly.
(I mention these as 'favorites' because they're the ones I care
about more than anything.)
TL Conservative - JP, by a huge margin.
I can't say which liberals I like better, for obvious reasons that have
a lot to do with charges of shameless ass-kissing.
Books - 'The Mists of Avalon' because
it made me who I am, 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' because
it renewed my faith in goodness and being a writer for a living,
'The Prophet' because it was the wisest piece
of literature I'd ever found (this is
an old book by a Syrian poet named Kahlil Gibran -
if you can ever find a
copy, you'd like it, and I don't even care who you are),
'The Adventures of Little Bear' because it was the
first book I got my girlfriend and because the drawings of
that funny little guy are so adorable, 'She's Come
Undone' because it was realistic, 'The Perks of Being
a Wallflower' because I swear that book was written
about me (except for the wallflower and surprise
ending parts, which no one wants me to explain), and
'Shadow Moon' because it was the only fantasy book
I ever read without any touches of lameness.
Songs/Albums - "Traditional Irish Song" by Denis
Leary, "Fagaim Mo Bhaile," "Boadicea" and "I Want
Tomorrow" by Enya, "She's an Angel" by TMBG
(not lame, by the way), "Worldes Blysse" (Album) by Med.
Baebes, "Summertime" by Miles Davis - I know he
didn't write it, but I like his interpretation best. That'll do
for that, I suppose.
Miscellaneous - Heavy-duty backpacking,
enduring the cold when I'm outdoors before the sun comes up,
being out in nature when it's raining, writing poetry
about my girlfriend that doesn't suck, being with my
girlfriend because it doesn't suck, watching movies
with my best friend because we always rip them apart,
my overwhelming sense of optimism about my future,
being past adolescence, having coffee with my mum.

"The time approaches
That will with due decision make us know
What we shall say we have and what we owe.
Thoughts speculative their unsure hopes relate,
But certain issue strokes must arbitrate.
Towards which advance the war."--Siward, MacBeth ACT V SCENT IV
