My interests are my children. Everything else is secondary. I like to watch funny shit on TV like South Park, I like to blast music that annoys people, and I like to drive WAY too fucking fast.
I like to waste time on the internet, but I've realizing that in many ways, I'm getting bored with it. Myspace is still providing some entertainment though.
I dig the hell out of racing. And for those of you that don't, just know I don't give a fuck what you think. I dig the hell out of Motor sports of any kind. I love ChampCar , NASCAR Cup and CTS , NHRA , IHRA, WRC, F1, IndyCar, SCORE, whatever. If it has four wheels and races, I dig it. My favorite drivers are:

Myself.
God.
I don’t have a hard on for celebrity the way so many other people do. I think it’s pretty lame actually. That’s not the say that I don’t ever want to meet people that happen to be celebrities. I think there are some that seem like they would be pretty cool people. I’m just not all that impressed by celebrity itself.
There are some people in the on-line friends world I definitely need to hang out with sooner or later. They know who they are!
But as far as Myspace goes, I’m pretty open. Just have something to say damn it!
I grew up in the 80s and still listen to hair bands and new wave. I like some of the stuff from the early 90s, but a lot of it bores me to tears. I've always thought Metallica pretty much sucked and saw no point in bothering with them, when Megadeth or Anthrax were available. GnR was awesome, but does anyone really still expect Chinese Democracy anytime soon, or ever even? I like cliche punk bands, and I think the Ramones had one good song, that they played over and over and over and over giving it a different title each time. The Misfits are still The Misfits, even without the Keebler Elf Of Hate (For those of you slow on the up take, that’s Danzig), and One Million Years BC is probably my favorite song by The Misfits, screw anyone that tries to qualify it with this “Graves Era†garbage. I never really cared about Joy Division or New Order. I think The Smiths are in my CD player right now, but maybe it could be Pantera, I get those two confused all the time. I like all the nu-metal and rap/rock (wow, dumber labels than hair bands and grunge, who would have thought that was possible?) that so many of my friends loathe. I listen to classical music in the car when I'm on the way to important meetings, I think it helps keep me from snapping off at the fucktards the way I am prone to do. I've been driving people nuts for the last three years whistling Ravel's Bolero everywhere I go. I hate listening to people explain to me why their taste is music is so great, and everyone else's sucks. Worthless pretentious fucks. Your opinion is no more or less valid than anyone elses, I don't give a rats ass what you think. I like stuff I used to hate, like all these damn pop-punk bands. I always liked Green Day and The Offspring, but I guess Blink-182 is an acquired taste, that somehow, I acquired. Must have been Dammit, great song. I still like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson, but all the rest of the guys wanking off on guitar, its boring, please stop. Hell, at this point I prefer to listen to someone like Bobby Rock wank it on drums. Now, how did the most bad ass drummer the world has ever seen end up playing in all three of the biggest "joke" hairbands, Nelson, Nitro and Vinnie Vincents Invasion? Fuck it, I like all three of them. I like listening to new bands and things I've never heard before. I like Cold, because their music is simply sincere, it’s genuine. 13 Ways To Bleed Onstage hurts to listen to, but in a good way. I love The Cure and Robert Smith is the only true genius that pop culture has ever spawned. I don’t ever want to hear another debate over who is better, Halford or Dickinson because frankly Tate and Bach bury both of them. I think Dimebag (or Diamond) getting shot on stage is one of the must fucked up things I’ve ever heard of happening. I like Nine Inch Nails, but I hate Trent worshippers. I think Led Zeppelin is overrated. I love cover songs, except when they’re really just pathetic beyond words (Sheryl Crow and Madonna should never be allowed to do covers again. Ever!). I like listening to Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot and Harry Nilsson. I hate listening to great vocalists screech like a cat being run over by a car. I don’t ever need to hear Whitney or Mariah caterwauling again. I think Atreyu is bad ass and I’ve actually gotten hooked on Killswitch Engage. How did that happen? I swing back and forth in my level of tolerance for Country and Rap and at this moment they’re both at all time lows. I love sappy love songs and I like angry hateful songs too. I never understood the fascination with boy bands. Bowling For Soup cracks me up, they’re FAN FUCKING TASTIC! That 500lbs guitarist is comedy gold. The only thing on earth funnier, is watching Dee Snider flip his hair over shoulder as he testifies before congress. What a douche.. I was a wee little thing in Southern California in the 70s, so of course I was overloaded with The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac in my early youth. I thought it was good stuff, but these $300 a ticket, rip off the past, reunion tours make me sick to my stomach. I defended Kiss in the 80s and I can’t stand them now. I think Enuff Z’Nuff – Loser Of The World is my own personal theme song at this particular moment. It may change to before I’m done typing this though. Zakk, from RATM, is the most annoying fucktard the music industry has seen in 40 years, save for Billy Corgan. Marilyn Manson is no better than Fred Durst, so he should probably just shut the fuck up. I’ll take Live over Creed, but I have to admit that Arms Wide Open really did hit hard, being played so much just two months before my first son was born. I like Love Spit Love and Love and Rockets. I like listening to the oldies station every now and then, especially if they’re playing some Beach Boys. 90% of the speeding tickets I’ve received in my life (and there have been a lot of them) have come with the Beach Boys blasting. I like songs like Rammstein – Du Hast and Nonpoint – Rabia, even though I have no fucking clue what they are saying. I don’t like to go to concerts by myself, I did that once to see COLD, and frankly it kind of sucked being there without anyone I knew. And now, it sucks since I really don't have anyone to go to concerts with. John5 is a bad ass guitarist and I dig his stuff with Manson, Zombie and as a solo artist, but I'm damn sure no one actually made it all the way through this to read just how great John5 is. Finally, I think I have changed my mind on my theme song, I'm going go with Ra - Only.

And a bunch of other crap....
Now here are some widgets from Last.fm:

Add me to your Netflix friends, so I can mock your movie choices!
Now, as movies go, the golden rule is; Make me laugh!! That's the rule!
I've decided that going to the movies is pretty much a waste of time and money, especially with my new found gimp status. Not all theatres have a gimp section, and it’s a real pain the ass to wheel around with a large soda, popcorn and gummy bears. The sad truth is that most movies aren't worth the time it takes to watch them. But every now and then, a gem shines through. Personally, I like comedies, fucking make me laugh mother fuckers! Period pieces are usually good, because if the actor actually can pull off the language, I'm impressed, and if they can't, I laugh my ass off. Anyone remember Keanu Reeves in Much Ado About Nothing? Come on, that's fucking comedy gold right there. And in the same movie, Denzel Washington and Keneth Branagh pull it off to perfection. I like drama's with good stories, far too many of them bore me though. On the whole, I don't care for the romantic comdey "chick flick" crap, 'cause so many of them are really just the same story over and over. If you want some good ones, try Love Actually or Gray Matters. Action movies? Tend to be boring, special effects and fight scenes don't make up for the lack of story, you know? Sci-Fi? While I grew up a Star Wars freak, I'm no huge fan of Sci-Fi. Stars Wars success was based on a quality story, but most sci-fi is pathetic crap. Anything that uses special effects to overcome the lack of story, ala the Matrix series, is drivel. Westerns? Thank god they don't make that crap anymore. Horrors? Of course, being named Jason I had to watch Friday the 13th, and the first was bad ass. Omen fucking rocked too. Otherwise, of all the crap people watch, this one makes the least sense to me. If you're 12 to 18 and trying to get laid, sure, take a chick to a horror movie. Otherwise? You've got to be kidding me, right?
But with that, there is some stuff that I actually do like.
Office Space, greatest movie EVER! It’s not a comedy, it’s a fucking documentary! And the best one ever.
Some other quality flicks:
South Park - Bigger Longer Uncut, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Empire Records, SLC Punk, Boondock Saints, Love Actually, Secondhand Lions, Quills, Fools Rush In, The Breakfast Club, Amadeus, American Beauty, Donnie Darko, Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, Trading Places, The Lost Boys, Coming To America, Big Trouble in Little China, Dust To Glory, Big Trouble, Full Metal Jacket, MURDERBALL, Gray Matters, BASEketball, Beavis and Butthead Do America, Beverly Hills Cop, Blazing Saddles, Dead Again, Dead Poets Society, Dogma, Ferris Buellers Day Off, House Of Sand And Fog, The Iron Giant, The Last Emperor, The LOTR trilogy, Scrooged, The Simpsons Movie, Team America: World Police, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Riding Alone For Thousands Of Miles (Qian li zou dan qi), The Italian (Italianetz), Hero (Ying Xiong.
Is this where I get to act all snobby, elitist and condescending and tell you how bad television is and how I don’t watch it? Fuck it. I like TV. Hell, I LOVE TV. And yet it does bore the shit out of me most of the time. I’m the idiot that the box is named for.
I happen to think the best series on TV the last decade or so, are all animated. South Park is the greatest thing to happen to Television since color. Cracks me up every time, I love their irreverence. At some point, during every episode, I sit back and say “Holy Shit, I can’t fucking believe they did thatâ€. They’re pretty much the only reality based characters on television, and they provide social commentary, without being condescending pricks about it. GREAT STUFF!
The Simpsons are STILL FUNNY. Fuck people that sit around say shit like “Yeah, they USED to be good, but since the fourth season, they’ve sucked.†If we ever hang out, expect random Simpsons dialog and quotes to pop up throughout the day. Its just the way things work. Favorites will include “Sleep! That’s where I’m a Viking!â€, and “GREASE ME UP WOMAN!â€.
I like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Family Guy. Futurama kicks ass. American Dad is ok, but BLAH. I miss The Critic.
I hate reality TV shows, and the only thing I care about from American Idol, is when is Kelly Clarkson going to pose nude
Game shows are evil, and MTV/VH1 both suck. But, I do like the OTHER MTV and VH1 channels. Who knew they still played music? God bless digital cable, now I have 500 channels of crap. The new MTV hooked my dumb ass on Killswitch Engage somehow, and I actually still get to see Enuff Z’Nuff videos, ‘cause man I just can’t make it through the week without Fly High Michelle
I hate the SpeedChannel, now they don’t show races and just a bunch of gay ass generic car shows.
I think Most Extreme Elimination Challenge may well be one of the funniest damn things that I’ve ever seen in my life
Most sit-coms on TV, have situations, but not comedy. Throwing in an obnoxious gay character, does not make it a good show. Most dramas, have more of the funny than the sit-coms, which is just more proof of how much most TV shows suck.
I think I've read my share of books in my life. Some good some bad. I liked most of them actually, they were worth the time and effort to read. But to be completley honest, I've all but given up on reading the last five years. I think the only real book I've read in that time is Elective Affinities - Goethe. Yeah, it is a great story, and I read it for a very specific reason, but that's it for me. Nothing else in five fucking years? I used to not go more than a month without at least one new book. AT LEAST. Ah well, fuck it. I have the internet to kill time with now, who the fuck needs to read!
With that, with all the crap I've read in my life, one piece of literature stands head and shoulders above all others. Don Quixote de la Mancha - Miguel de Cervantes
Thats me...chasing windmills...
And maybe the lady Dulcinea....

My children are my only heros. They redefined my life for me in ways that I could never have imagined before. Every time I see them, whatever has been wrong in my day fades away; whomever has pissed me off, is forgotten for the time; whatever disappointment has been presented, is simply no longer an issue. Nothing is wrong in the world when they come runnnig up, arms raised, shouting "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"
Simply put, they inspire me, to be better than I actually am, in every way possible.
