I listen to a lot and think about it often.

Movies

- The first two Terminator movies, any of the classic 80's Arnold action movies really (especially the Conan the Barbarian ones), dumb memeable comedy movies from the 2000s like Zoolander.

Television

- I like different British comedy shows like Peep Show, Blackadder, and Monty Python's. - My favorite anime are all over the place but include The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Panic, Bleach and quite a few more. I like quite a few Western cartoons from my childhood and a bit earlier. MyAnimeList is gerandum_connor

Books

- The various Elric of Melniboné novels and stories by Michael Moorcock have been a great recent discovery of mine. I have also been reading several historical works by the author Barbara W. Tuchman. Favorite books are hard for me to think of. I own many but unfortunately read sporadically and do not finish every book that I start.

Heroes

- It is cliche and normie, but probably my parents and grandparents first and foremost. In that I admire them. Some of them may have had 'heroic' actions or periods of their life, but I wouldn't say the term 'hero' really defines any of them. - - There are many people I admire and find interesting, throughout history into the present. - - People may confuse the terms 'hero' and 'idol.' Hero, in the literal sense, would represent someone who acts heroically, perhaps dying for a cause of some sort. Idols show someones emotional likes and affections. Heroes show someone's ideology or worldview; what they value and see as ideal traits and actions to take in life.
