FOOLS FAVORITES

O the fool is an exponential expression of my life’s influences. It is content filtered by the mind of myself, Jason Tate. In short, this is the stuff I like; these sources have influenced me, and each have taken their role in influencing the contours of my consciousness. By no means a complete list, but a good starting point, I bring you fool's favorites.
