Science, History, those things in life that make us pause and think, car races, interesting people, hanging out.
Cool people who like to do cool things like visit Aquariums, Car Races, and assorted activities that require just a tad of thinking.
From country to Gangsta Rap, if it has a good beat I will give it a listen.
Shawshank Redemption, mindless action pics, Catch 22, some Anime. Anything with a good story.
Adult Swim, Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, History and Discovery Channels, Animal Planet and drinking while watching classic Nickelodeon. (When the take home pize is a Commodore 64, that rules.)
Various Science Books, (trust me, we humans ain't going anywhere else for a while.) Calvin & Hobbes books, props to L.A. Times for running them again. Stephen King, Confederacy of Dunces. A lot, and I do mean A LOT of school textbooks. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Poeple who do the right thing even when it hurts to do so. I also admire people who are comfortable with who they are, as long as they are not A-holes.
