 Just thought the idea of citing a list of cultural influences would be fun so I've been discussing it with other folks. Started with a post entitled [_Big Boy Collage_](/posts/big-boy-collage) 
 
-**Obviously, the people around me like my wife, family, in-laws, relatives, teachers, coaches, and so forth would take a higher precedent**. Not listing life events, just cultural references and items. Only going to do the top 100. Will try and be very specific like certain events or scenes instead of just listing the film or whatnot. Will write some on each and add some media eventually. Trying to figure out a way of making a short essay collage out of it. Some of them I've already written about. Not listing dates as they existed but the date they existed in my realm. Just starting a list here to whittle on:

-I'm going to make a big boy collage. I'm calling it that because it's based on a similar childhood class project but digital of course so I can include moving images and sound. The idea started after I sent a small video clip of Bill Murray singing _Peace, Love, & Understanding_ in the film _Lost in Translation_ to a couple text threads.

 Some things exerted influence which I can't understand exactly why and others are plain as day now. Some films or music have entirely different meanings for me now. I took my mom out to lunch yesterday with a friend and his mom. The conversations invited this sort of reminiscing, so I went digging for references. I re-watched a scene I had stuck to memory from New York Stories last night which likely had more of an influence on me deciding to go to art school than I'd like to admit. There are quite a few things that had influence that I don't like at all now. I even went in and started adding some of these to my existing lists to paint a truer picture[^3]. 
 
-I'm not sure how to go about compiling all of the most important or influential elements into one single big boy collage. I'm thinking just top 51 for 51 years with a mix of books, comics, films, tv, music, and events.  I'll start a list @ [/lists/influence](/lists/influence)[^4]
+I'm not sure how to go about compiling all of the most important or influential elements into one single big boy collage. Right off the bat, I've noticed the influences I had very little say so in like the wallpaper I had in my room as a kid or the shows my dad watched on television. This should be fun. I'll cut the media into one video and summarize it in an essay.I'm thinking just top 100 or something with a mix of events, things, books, comics, films, tv, and music.  For now, I've started the list @ [/lists/influence](/lists/influence)[^4], but I think it'll take me a little bit of time thinking about it to get it right.
