Writing poetry and short stories, Alfred Hitchcock and Ed Wood movies, reading a good book while I sip an iced almond mocha, coffeehouses, politics, traveling (especially out of Ohio), stimulating coversation, and good music.

I'm not a big believer in placing someone on a pedestal. I feel that we all have the power to stand up for what we believe in. Right now, my hero is Stephen Colbert, for having the incredible guts to tell the most powerful man in the "free" world what a complete incompetent fuck-up he is.
