My employer....
Metal....
I enjoy music (mostly rock/metal), touring with bands, fixing things, making people think, waking up with no definite memory of where I am or what events let to me being there, dreams, running, guns, sharp objects of all sorts, convincing the police that I was really doing something completely legal, driving just about anything, tattoos, art, piercings, girls that somehow manage to be both intelligent and attractive, starting fires, storms, snow and all things frozen, being an elitist bastard, writing music in my head, massages, taking care of people that I like, having better stories about just about everything than you probably do, stars and the rest of the universe, science, history, throwing things out of hotel rooms, being able to eat things that once would have really not wanted to be eaten, and of course the very few people in the world that seem to at least occasionally understand me.
People that understand that most people just don't get it...
Rockers.
Angels.
Dæmons.
Anyone interesting.

don't really watch tv anymore.
Lord of the Rings, The Cold One, Fire Warrior, Darkfall, Eyes of the Dragon, Midnight, Phantoms, Ender's Game, The Starlight Crystal, The Long Hard Road out of Hell... pretty much anything imaginative, horror, or science fiction. I don't read enough anymore.

Thompson(RIP), Johnny Richter, Brad Xavier, Lennon, Wayne Static, Jay Gordon, Serj Tankian, Josh Abraham, Layne Staley(RIP), Billy Corgan, Maynard James Keenan, Chino Moreno, Max Illidge, Dave Grohl, Ben Burnley... none of these people I consider heros, they are just all worthy of my admiration. (I have had one hero and I'll never know his name but I'd like to thank him. He was a good kid and is responsible for me being here today.)
