Music, comic books, film, writing and journalism, art and photography, home recording, writing and recording music until the wee hours of the morning approaches, hip-hop and learning to make a career out of it, friends, road trippin, communications, radio, counter culture, apple technology, tattoos, aquiring new skills that i never realized i had a knack for, obtaining a useless amount of useless knowledge about anything and everything so i can outsmart the smartest dorks on the planet, rockin and rollin in whatever random band i may be involved in at the present time, learning the inner workings of the system and infiltrating it with knowledge i've gained through first hand experience and this- www.myspace.com/amphetamineeclipse.
Other prophets of wisdom who exist solely to defeat the powers that be and help the poor, victimized and downtrodden man rise above on this contaminated earth prison.....And umm, comic, music and horror geeks.

I am a film geek and on average watch about 2 to 3 movies every other day. I love my movies independent and real just like my music, but i also can tolerate mainstream shit if i like what it conveys. I probably watch more foreign films than anyone else i've ever met. I find that some of the grittiest, most cutting edge shit comes from other regions of the world, especially Asian continents. I also love horror movies with a passion. You could say i'm a horror movie buff, much to the same degree as people who worship Star Wars and Star Trek. This list by no means does my tastes justice, but here's a quick rundown of a few of my favorite flicks....Big Lebowski, Bad Santa, Evil Dead 2, Apocalypse Now, Office Space, American Beauty, The U.S. Vs. John Lennon, Fight Club, Kill Bill Vol 1, Napolean Dynamite, Blue Velvet, Tarnation, Bottle Rocket, Repo Man, Dawn of the Dead (original), City of God, Battle Royale, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, the incredible Russian Nightwatch Trilogy, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, most everything Takashi Miike lays his fingers on, Irreversible, Toxic Avenger and lots of shit you ain't ever heard of.
Mr. Show, Space Ghost, Simpsons, Curb your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, The Boondocks, Seinfeld, 30 Days, Lost, Metalocalypse and currently obsessing over Heroes.
Really the only print that enters my hands these days are comic books. Over the past year they have reemerged into my life and slowly consumed it day by day, transforming me into a shameless comic geek...Vertigo, Image, Top Cow, Marvel, DC, Wildstorm, Dark Horse, etc, etc. I am not above obsessively reading anything from these companies. Aside from that, I've also been known to consume good music biographies in a matter of hours, whatever new Chuck Palahniuk's got on the shelf, and anything else i may find of interest. Lately i've been reading about 2 books per week. No internet or cable television means endless hours to consume awesome literature.
The unfuckwithable Miles Davis.
John Lennon, music's first great radical.
Ian Mackaye, my generation's great music radical.
God's gift to comic books, Mr. Frank Miller.
Grant Morrison, another visionary comic writer from heaven.
Made chainsaws cool.
Used to be a badass.
Kurt Russell is the man.
Steaven Seagal's still got my back. Drink his soda.
And last but not least John Petrucci.
