Meme time.
Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
sinistrasnape gave me these five:
Tupac
I've been a fan of Tupac for quite a while now. He was such a talented artist, definitely went too soon. To be honest, a lot of his music is too 'gangsta' for me, but there is a lot of his stuff I absolutely *love*. He had a lot to say in his songs and a lot of his lyrics are real powerful, not to mention he had a fantastic delivery. He was artistic all-around, acting and writing poetry as well, which just adds to his awesome legacy. One of this earth's most respected MCs. RIP
Hip Hop
My favourite genre of music. I only -really- got into hip hop a couple of years ago, and my tastes have progressed much since then (a lot of regular hip-hop is almost too 'normal' for me nowadays XD) but even though I listen to much more of the experimental kind lately I will still always love hip-hop. I can sit forever and just be mesmerized by the MC's rhymes over amazing beats. It's such a varied music genre: unlike most metal genres where every song and artist sounds the same, hip hop can go any way you want it to. Complex orchestral samples, sci-fi electronic sounds or a simple old school beat, there's so much variety. An amazing art form.
WW2
I have a World War 2 fascination. I blame my dad, really, he's the one who got me into history in the first place. I've seen a LOT of WW2 movies and read quite a few books as well. I could honestly sit for days and just watch WW2 movies and documentaries. I'd say Band of Brothers is definitely one of my favourites =]
The Doors
I've only recently discovered the amazingness of The Doors. I'm suprised at how much I love their music, because usually I don't go for that type of music at all! But they're a fantastic band. Their songs have a really timeless quality and sound, and the often poetic lyrics are mesmerising. Jim Morrison's voice is incredible, and he is/was such a fascinating person.
Silent Hill
Oh, man. What can I say? Silent Hill ties with Deus Ex as my favourite game of all time, ever, in the universe. I can hardly put into words how amazing Silent Hill 2 is to me. When I first picked up the game, I was looking for a fun scare after playing FEAR at my cousin's house. I had recalled reading about SH in a PS2 magazine and picked up the game. It was not what I expected- the fear was so incredibly penetrating that at first, I could hardly stand to play the game and honestly lied awake at night afraid. But, eventually I got used to the fear: the thing that kept me interested was the incredible STORY. It was the first game, book, movie, anything, that I have ever actually cried in. (Yes, I had a heart of steel back then.) The story of James Sunderland and his journey is the most tragic love story I've ever seen, it's poetic and metaphoric and just amazing.
