Computers, Poetry/Lyrics, Boobies, Having a front row seat to the downfall of civilization, but the beer man doesn't come by nearly enough...being a subversive, and retaining knowledge that I wish I could forget. Also, dumbing myself down enough to tolerate the "really real world."
Ummm, I've really met most of the people that I want to meet. All that's left is to meet my children when they're born, if that ever happens. Either way, I'm always down to meet new folks who have a unique outlook on life, and tell me I'm right... width="425" height="350" ..

I only use TV to watch sports...the "shows" usually suck nuts. I don't consider HBO to be real TV, and I'll admit that I was even roped into American Idol this past season. However, can't miss shows are Sopranos, Deadwood, and Real Time with Bill Mahar, just so I can yell at the TV when it's not football season. If I really want to get pissed off, I can always watch the O'Reilly Factor and stew over how smug and hypocritical that asshole is...
Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Irvine Welsh, and anything that has to do with past military operations. Tom Robbins has been someone I've been reading lately, along with Chuck Pahlaniuk. DOUG STANHOPE NEEDS TO WRITE A BOOK, BECAUSE IT WOULD, LIKELY BE THE FUNNIEST, MOST PROFANE, AND BRILLIANT COMEDIC WORK SINCE LENNY BRUCE WROTE "HOW TO TALK DIRTY AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE" I really dig non fiction, but the right fiction writer can stimulate my mind...
First and foremost, my father, for showing me what being a man is about. My mother for showing me at a young age what unconditional love really was. My sister for her determination. My brother for surviving. My wife for loving me, even when I don't deserve it.
