If only I got around to watching more TV...
I play guitar, but I'm in a bit of a predicament as of late due to the fact that my guitar's input jack decided it was better off detached, along with the wood surrounding it.
I listen to music on a pretty constant basis. I like talking about it.
Books can be really great, but when I read a bad one I want to scream because no matter how bad it is, I always finish it.
Movies are fantastic, though I haven't left a theatre completely satisfied in some time.
I appreciate sports, but my lack of enthusiasm for them is pitiful.
I must deal with the crippling realization that I am alone in my thoughts in the monolithic, soulless, postmodern existence we drag on and on. But worst of all, I can't decide whether my favorite Radiohead album is OK Computer or Hail to the Thief, and that says more about me, I think.
