my passions of literature/film/music are equal in my heart.
external forces determine what i get to spend my actual time doing and movies seems to win out - as i only need 90 minutes usually - i can do other things while watching, my family can watch with me, etc.
when you have a family - book reading time tends to be anti social... and music - christ - i cant remember the last time i just listened to music.
just in the car or at work these days ..
but i love all 3 equally.
because i also play a couple of competative sports, have a lot of work to do on the house, have a kid who's in a few sports, etc ... i have more interests than 10 of any other people i know in my life combined.
still .. i'm amazed at j.q. public without passions for anything .. hardly anyone reads, cares about music, or really explores film at my age .. all they give a shit about is saving for a boat or snowmobile .. it really sets me apart from most people i know in suburbia.
downtown where culture and art still mean something - i fit in just fine.
