Too dang many to list...
New friends are always welcomed, especially those who enjoy chillin. Oldschool friends I haven't seen in a long time, any new kids on the block (and no I am NOT referring to the band) and anyone else down for chillin.
Moby, Deftones, Linkin Park, Metric, Avril Lavigne, Orbital, DJ Tiesto, Ferry Corston, Lasgo, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Elefant, Armin Van Buuren, Gwen Stefani, Sum 41, NOFX and yes, Carrie Underwood
Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino, Action, Comedy, Romance (yeah I'm a sucker), Ground Hogs Day, Garden State
Heroes, Smallville, CSI
L.E. Modesitt Jr, Elizabeth Hayden, Terry Brooks, Michael Crichton, Dan Brown
I don't really have a hero, but if I did I'd have to say it's the guy I always wish to be.
