Jumping on the Bandwagon

Many bloggers have started posting holiday wish lists, and I for one cannot resist a good excuse to list out everything I want.

The List

1. Interview Lou Reed
Judging by every article of him I've ever read, Lou Reed is a grouchy old hag with something bristly up his bum. I really want to interview him, and you know why? He doesn't bullshit. I've read so many magazine stories where pop stars and indie musicians deal out some vague, faux meaningful stories about their life. How many times can you read Seventeen proclaim that their actress/singer/reality tv star cover girl is "not how she's portrayed in the tabloids" or "sweet and down to earth"? When an interviewer tries to steer to conversation to anything other than his music, Lou Reed steers it right back, albeit bluntly and rudely. He refuses to talk about unimportant stupid things, like in Spin magazine where he simply ended the interview when he was asked about if the critics perception of him as a difficult subject to question bothered him. If I actually got to do this, he'd probably end up making me cry, but wouldn't it be amazing to meet Lou Reed anyway?

2. A Typewriter
Technology, in a way, really bothers me. I am grateful for the invention of the computer, the internet, the camera, and the bicycle, but a lot of things seem very unnecessary. To me, not everything has to be the biggest or the smallest it can be. But, to tie together this rant, the reason I want a typewriter? So I won't be distracted by facebook when I'm writing papers. Plus, typewriters are really cool.

3. Freedom...
To watch and read whatever I want. This one'd be from my parents.
Particularly...

4. Bob Fossil's Moves
I have been practicing, but success would be sweet.
