Not to be cliché, but fast cars, cold beer and hot women. Concerts, listening to music, photography, NY Islanders, drinking, NASCAR, drinking, NY Yankees/NY Giants/Knicks, listening to Opie And Anthony/Ron And Fez, drinking, making my cars look good/go fast, oh and a little time in the gym so I can drink some more.

I think hero is too strong of a word, but some of the people I admire are: Don 'Donnie Baseball' Mattingly, who is my all time favorite ball player and the epitome of class: Dale Earnhardt, who was probably the best driver in all of racing; George Carlin and Richard Pryor, who opened the doors for most of the great comedians around today. And last but not least anyone who has or is defending us and our freedom.
