Music:
I have a very diverse taste of music cuz' actually everyday I need a new type of music in my Winamp. There is a red line thought. I like everything that is fast 'n agressive or music that has some kinda dark gloomy sense. In one or another way it relaxes me, while others would beg to turn it of... Dunno what it is, but it works for me!
I'm mostly fan of punkrock like Turbonegro [but who doesn't nowadays], Peter Pan Speedrock, the Queens of the Stone Age, Hives, Misfits, Zeke, Iggy & the Stooges, Sheer Terror, Hellacopters, SSD, Negative Approach, Gorilla Biscuits, Sahara Hotnights, Donnas, Mondo Generator, Alabama Thunderpussy, Danko Jones, Millionaire, Silver, Monster Magnet, Dwarves, Samhain, Gluecifer, Nashville Pussy, etc.
Also hardcore and metal like The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, Nile, Day of Suffering, Catharsis, Converge, Integrity, High on Fire, Caphalic Carnage, Dying Fetus, The Haunted, Dismember and Morbid Angel make my heart excellerate!
Further, every once in a while I listen to some good techno or elektro like Dave Clarke, Billy Nasty, Derrek May, Sven Vaeth, Jeff Mills, Timo Maas, Chris Liebing, Monica Kruse, 2 Many DJ's, Tiga and Anthony Rother or expirimental freaky shit, teKn0 and darkcore/terror such as Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, Squarepusher, Autechre, Bogdan Raczynski, Heretik, TeKnival, Spiral Tribe, Hellfish, Neophyte, Catscan, Outblast, Dr. Macabre, Nosferatu, etc, etc...
Last of all, I sometimes listen to bands like RHCP, Interpol, Keane, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, Editors, The Smiths, Radiohead, Muse, Bjork, Saint Germain, Dizzee Rascal, Dr. Dré, Eminem, Wu Tang, etc...

Movies:
I especially like old, cult and expirimental movies the most. Think about classics like Scarface, a Clockwork Orange, the Shining, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Death, Alien, Godfather, Goodfellas, etc.
but also more freaky violent movies like Memento, Requiem for a Dream, Man bites Dog, Blood in - Blood out, Irreversible, la Haine, Snatch, Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels, Boondog Saints, Seven, Trainspotting, Butterfly Effect, Final Destination, the Secretary, Crash, Kill Bill, Saw, Battle Royal, etc., etc.
Television:
Only watch news, Sopranos, Coupling, DWDD and Fightclub on Eurosport.
Heroes:
I think heroes is a BIG word. Let's say there are some people I really admire and respect because of their talent and the way they make use of it! Not the most every-day personalities but in one or another way especially the extreme persons attract me the most!!
Here we go:
Paul Bearer [former singer of Sheer Terror]
Doesn't give a shit 'bout anything, is tattooed all-over, is not a very good singer but nevertheless he's one of the most funny guys I've ever seen live and the lyrix of his band Sheer Terror are simply sublime! Too bad Sheer Terror's dead and gone for a few years now, but his new band Joe Coffee is a perfect follow up...!
Jay Edwards
This guy simply is the best rigger and a big example for my bondage habits! The best things about his style is the great creativity he uses in his knots and plays, the super productions he delivers and the most beautiful women he binds...!
Bas Rutten aka El Guapo
This guy's from just around the corner of Eindhoven and now makes LOTSA money with beating up dudes inside of the ring in the US and Japan. Yup, he's a free-fighers and won lotsa international prices with his own developed 'Mixed Martial Arts System'... And if you like to be in barfights, you REALLY gotta check out his Lethal Street Fighting DVD; It's hylarious!!
H.R. Giger
On of the most intresting artist around! He's got a really dark mind which evolves in his paintings and sculptures. His big breakthrough was designing the Alien-monsters, but he also designed the logo of the Hell's Angels [with scull and wings] and has got a few musea and a hotel!! I also think he's the artist of whom the most people have got an image in their skin [for instance Rick Healy of 25 ta Life with at least 20 pieces of Giger]!!
Paul Booth
This is definitelly one of the best, evil and sickest tattooists in the world! Good friend of Phil Anselmo [Pantera] and collector of fetusses and everything else that has to do with death... His site really is great too so check it out!!
Porsche 911 Carrera
Don't care that much 'bout cars, but every time I see this car coming, I turn off every sound, hold my breath for a few moments and enjoy the view of the most beautiful car that has ever been built! I think it looks like a shark who's chasing a pray... It's almost like the car hovers above the road instead of touching it... Yeah, it's truly a dream to ones own such a monster and ride the German highways @ maximum speed! rrrrrr...!
