Reading, cooking, traveling, sports, saltwater fishing - I prefer offshore fishing but live inshore and like to wade barefoot through the flats of Tampa Bay, Pugs, animals, boating, sunlight, road trips, coffee, family, books, playing basketball, hanging out with the Family, dancing, throwing my body around a dark bar with some loud music, horticulture, philanthropy, activism of social or mental kind, history, campfires, urban bike riding in west tampa on one of my many "trails". I think I should also add here that I am a huge pro-football fan [ San Diego Chargers and Bucs ] and during the season Sundays well- lets just say I don't stray to far from the Honeycomb Hideout. Festivals, cooking classes with Royer, frying chicken wings, sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away is definetly one of my favoritos.

It's not the lame movie, it's the people or person you watch it with.
Pro Football - Seinfeld, Jeopardy - thats about it. I tolderate other peoples' TV habits until we get to far into "Reality TV". Pre-scripted drama sold as spontaneity is not classified as entertainment to me.NFL ticket in HD and a few other tubes for regionals and life is good. Go Bolts. And Bucs :P. I should also add HD Discovery Channel deserves some respectful words as it is the best channel ever.
I own a vast library and consume a lot of printed words on a daily basis from internet, newspaper, magazines, periodicals, religous texts, bathroom walls, bar walls etc. For sheer carnal enlightenment I prefer the classics, for entertainment Selby Buk or ____, for inspiration the World Atlas of Countries.
hero worship isn't really for me- as to whom I might be humbled by it could be any person with a fantastic talent...
