Painting, sketching, sculpting, photography, tattoos, smoking a lot, writing; bizarre, unusual, and just plain strange things/people/flora/fauna; cryptozoology, zoology, biology, psychology, astronomy, physics... let's just say science. Therianthropy, lycanthropy, especially. Esoterica, occult, and theology. Conspiracy, hidden, and hard to grasp facts. Life. Watching others. Learning. Listening. Thinking. Time. Freedom. Expression. The natural world. Surviving as best I can, sometimes failing, but giving it my all never the less.
People who can both understand and give honest conversation; the creators, thinkers, rationalists, realists... anyone who is brave enough to just exist as they were made. People who mean what they say. People who actually notice the sunrise and sunset... and bother to wake up to see it.

Cult films, horror, et cetera, old black and white, hard to find films... Movies that actually make you think or feel. Amusing movies about those silly Christians and Catholics with Monty Python.Darren Aronofsky, Wim Wenders, M. Night Shyamalan, Terry Gilliam and Kevin Smith are among my favorite directors.
I don't watch TV... (I do like House and Adult Swim, though, if I am at someone else's place. Metalocalypse, of course.) But some great shows I love that are no longer -- Lexx, American Gothic, Quantum Leap, Monthy Python's Flying Circus, Are You Being Served, Tales From the Dark Side, The Outer Limits, Black Adder, The Maxx, Liquid Television, Six Feet Under, Millennium, Sliders, Strange Luck, Farscape, Early Edition, The Avengers, et cetera. SPACE GIIIIANTS... (Happy, Travis?)
I enjoy William Gibson, Dave Eggers, George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, Alan Dean Foster, Orson Scott Card, Thomas Ligotti, Isaac Asimov, Stephen King, C.G. Jung, many others. Anything cryptozoologic, scientific, metaphysical, historical, theological, et cetera. Occult types, and, of course, werewolf erotica. I will read just about anything put in front of me. Reading actual books is quickly becoming a lost form of knowledge acquisition, and it's a shame.
Some specifics: Terry Gilliam, Dave Eggers, H.R. Giger, Norman Dog! little Ms. Hahn, the people I know who are creative (and creating...) their fantastic work, no matter how difficult it can be sometimes. Three certain male friends of mine that have been through hell and back with me (and I with them), yet we still keep in touch and never stop caring and giving. Thank you.
