stick with the Winchester repeater as soon as you get your hands on it. always carry something to refill your dead eye (tobacco or moonshine) don't be afraid to gamble.

I was really into Eliott smith for a while myself. I actually took the time to figure out "whatever (folk song in c)" and played it quite a bit. Iron and wine is a really interesting group as well. Do you like the mountain goats? if you haven't already heard them (and I don't have a hard time...

As of late, I have been listening to a lot of 60's jazz, bebop, and a little bit of WWII jazz both from here in the U.S. and other countries. I have however, acquainted myself with some of the more notable figures in underground hip hop. I actually found myself telling one of my coworker's...

The "collective unconscious" is a jungian term by nature, and I'm not too sure you used it in the right context. However, out of all the films you listed, I feel that star wars has generally showed the most applicable quantitative results regarding things like profit and popularity.

I agree with you. I mean, I've listened to a lot of complex metal bands and have hung around musicians who specialized on metal and they were all extremely skilled musicians (I should know, I've been member of a few bands myself), but the things is that ultimately, metal is extremely...

I'm tired of getting stood up by a girl who insists on going out with me (I'm not opposed to this, but I am rather annoyed that I chose to clear my schedule just to have her bail out on me).
