O raw green buds of spring.
O wild dreams of flight.
Naivete protect us
from the cold thin hands of night;
O youth.
O tuesday.

mainly music. but there are a few others: shows, going to the dump, "urban exploration" (i hate that term), taking stuff apart, bike riding and toolin around with em, and there's prolly more, but on my budget that's what i do
girls excited by bands like the door keys and who sing along to such bands with the ferocity of Johnny Whitney. that'd be totally hot. like so hot i can hardly fathom it. i think i'm getting a nose bleed ... give me a sec ... also, short haired and loud. that'd be keen.
lots'a shoegazer and anti-folk right now.

i shoulda done this alphabetically,
i don't know who i've already listed ...
my hands are tired ...
better off dead, rushmore, the royal tenenbaums, election, mulholland drive, grosse point blank, eternal sunshine, punch drunk love, the city of lost children, hudson hawk, bottle rocket, the adventures of baron munchausen, mad max - beyond thunderdome, delicatessen, smoke, buffalo 66, wavelength (despite its lack of replay value), bubba ho-tep, amalie (awwww), lost in translation (despite its obvious short comings, and the aspersion of friends), dirty work, the whole nine yards (there are more deserving movies for this list, but i'm drawing a blank)
parker lewis can't loose, malcome in the middle, arrested developement, strangers with candy, homocide (season 1 rocks pretty steady), leave it to beaver, stanford and son, law and order (not the new dumb spinoffs though), x-files (before the last couple seasons, obviously), veronica mars, daily show, ren and stimpy, the venture brothers, futurama, dance 360, lingo and other stuff i can't remember right now. also, i'm gonna regret this but, joss whedon is the shit. he's our generation's george lucas, and i'm pretty sure he's not as big an asshole, and he's prolly even less of a nerd. joss is boss. i know johnny skids backs me up on this. give me a year. i'm sure i'll out grow it ...
The Fabric of the Cosmos, The Elegant Universe (Brian Greene is totally boss), anything by Ray Bradbury, a brief history of time, Dinosaur in a Haystack, A Short History of Nearly Everything, 1984, Embracing Defeat, anything by Kenzaburo Oe, and pretty much anything by Yukio Mishima
naming "personal heroes" is pretty lame (remember elementary school? "my dad is my hero because he always does what's right" and junk like that. people who don't really qualify for hero status ...), and all the heroes i can think of off the top of my head are fictional, so ...
