Movies, video games, metal (mostly thrash, death and grind, no mallcore), books, computers, reptiles, food (everything tastes better with Sriracha on it), masturbation.

I used to like Stephen King a lot, but he really hasn't written anything good in the last 12 years or so other than the Dark Tower series, and the last three books of that weren't so great, either. Michael Crichton, Terry Pratchett, Elmore Leonard, Robert R. McCammon, Augusten Burroughs, lots of non-fiction (reptiles, computers, organized crime, etc), HARRY POTTER!
The following people are ultra-cool, although I wouldn't go so far as to call them my heroes: Bruce Lee, Greg Graffin, Audie Murphy, John Carpenter.
