Here's one interest: my ride. Her name is Jackie Barklay, named for a middle aged bartender who's definitely still got it where it counts. This is how she used to look:and this is how she looks now:

The first movie on this list shouldn't be a shock to anyone, the rest are just tight flicks that I remember while sitting here procrastinating. STAR WARS. Even the first three episodes are tight, for the sole reason that behind George Lucas' ego, there still remains a tiny bit of the old school sickness that made me and my parents buy craploads of stuff. Now for the rest: Indiana Jones, The Big Lebowski, The Fifth Element, The Goonies, Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn, Psycho, The Sting, Flight of The Intruder, Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Enter The Dragon, Sin City, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Mi Vida Loca, Training Day, Milo & Otis, The Never Ending Story, The Labyrinth, The Godfather, Amelie, Boondock Saints, The Little Rascals, The Sandlot, The Natural, Eight Men Out, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Half Baked, Kill Bill V1 & 2, The Crow, Batman, Batman Beyond, The Matrix Trilogy, The Lord of The Rings, The Secret of Nimh.....and a crapload more
Ah television, the cause of and solution to, all life's problems. Or is that alcohol and other drugs?? Whatever. I try to watch as few commercials as I can. HBO has the best shows on television, hands friggin down. Deadwood, Curb your Enthusiasm and The Daily Show, and The Simpsons are tied for the best in my humble book. Other crucial mind-numbing shows include: The Family Guy, Entourage, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Def Poetry Jam, Monk, and thats about it. The rest of network and cable TV is best viewed when the commercials can be skipped or when released on DVD. Dodger Baseball, Clipper Basketball, and Cowboy Football are the exceptions to that rule. So there ya have it.
Anything by Neil Gaiman, Roald Dahl and Jack Kerouac.
Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, and that guy who sawed off his arm in order to escape from the boulder on top of it.
