Music:
I LOVE Music. First and Foremost, I absolutely ADORE Bjork. Can you say GODDESS!!? Seriously, I have no way to convey how much I have loved Bjork's music, and for how long, in this two dimensional little myspace table, but I think perhaps my buddy nait knows, because he digs Zappa that much for some wacky reason. But I digress.
I also just discovered that I dig Regina Spektor almost as much as I dig Bjork. You need to listen to the songs Samson and Fidelity!
Also very high on my list are Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Cranberries, Alanis Morrisette, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Janis Joplin makes my top 10 list for sure! I also really like Carole King, Cibo Matto, Del tha Funky Homosapien, 10,000 Maniacs and Natalie Merchant by herself as well, A Tribe Called Quest, Ani DiFranco, Annie Lennox, The Beastie Boys, Billie Joel, Cyndi Lauper, Dave Matthews Band, Dead Kennedys, Faith No More, Erasure, Diana Ross, Digable Planets, Edie Brickell, Faith No More, Fleetwood Mac (When Stevie was in it), Gorillaz, Greenday, Guns N Roses (the early stuff at least), Jello Biafra, Mojo Nixon, MC Hawking, Lou Reed, Negativland, Patsy Cline, Pink, Public Enemy, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Roger Waters, Ruby, Rush, Sarah McLachlan, Sex Pistols, Sneaker Pimps, Syd Barret, Talking Heads, Tesla, Heart, The Cure, The Eagles, The Smashing Pumpkins, They Might Be Giants, Tom Waits, Tracy Chapman, U2 (although for several years now, every single time I hear U2, I can't stop hearing the Negativland song where Bono is talking about how much he despises everyone... and that kind of ruins it sometimes)... from my dad, I inherited a love of Van Morrison. And now, for something completely different... I also like the Vengaboys, Weird Al Yankovik (who is a funny, funny guy), William Shatner & Leonard Nemoy (SO bad that it hurts to listen to their albums, yet so good for the same reason)... Dr. Demento, Olive, Tom Petty, Alice Cooper (his music from before I was born, and afterwards too :), the Alan Parsons Project, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, 4 Non Blondes (they have more than 1 song you know!), Beck, Barry McGuire (his version of Eve of Destruction is one of my top 10 favorite songs ever)...

Cheer / Feel like i'm a fixin' to die rag is freakin awesome), Willie Nelson, and Zhane... and a million others I forgot not because I don't like them, but because I'm tired, and forgetful. :)

Books:
way too many to list... I read about 4 books a week, and I generally like them all. I re-read The Chronicles of Narnia, all 7 books, about once a year, for the last 15 years or so now... it's a ritual... LOVE the Hobbit and LOTR Trilogy. My favorite books last year were the first 6 Harry Potter books - I loved them so much I read all 6 in 2 weeks, then read them all again a month later. I adore Douglas Adams (and corresponded with him when he was alive)I collect Whitewolf Changeling Sourcebooks. I recently read The Working Poor: Invisible in America by David K Shipler, excellent book... also recently finished re-reading Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich, also very good. Last month I read "How Dogs Think" (highly recommended) and A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. I'm constantly reading books about HTML, CSS, Flash, TCP/IP, Unix, and other things I use in my work... I also read alot of networking and marketing books but they're not as interesting so they take longer to get through. ;) Right now I'm reading Why God Won't Go Away, The Flouride Deception, and Healing Grief, to name a few. (I often read up to 6 books at the same time depending on my mood). I'm also constantly re-reading my entire Agatha Christie collection in chronological order (all 90+ books). Let's see.. dislike Ayn Rand personally, but have read most of her work (I have to say though... after reading an Ayn Rand novel, I usually feel ill for a week) I'm a fan of Piers Anthony's Xanth and Incarnations of Immortality Series (and Piers links to my website from his website!), Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus Trilogy & Schroedinger's Cat Trilogy are favorites, and no matter how many times you read them, you always read a million things you never saw before!, Stephen King's The Stand, The Tommyknockers, and the Langoliers. I devour pretty much any well-written "end of the world" type book, I LOVE Sci-Fi, dystopian literature, etc. Books like 1984, Brave New World, Farenheit 451, We, On a Pale Horse... I've read Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale & Oryx & Crake about 15 times each and they just keep getting better each time... there are so many things I've read and loved that it's hard to narrow it down. I could literally go on forever. Oh, and I just started reading "The Decline of Leisiure".
Heroes:
Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Rosa Parks, and all of the women everywhere who continue to fight for women's rights across the globe and to be a positive force for change.
