I have been involved in photography and performing music (drums, guitar, bass, and vocals) since I was a kid. My other passions are software and web design, video production, writing, and acting. Pretty much anything that gets my creative juices flowing is exciting for me.
Other photographers, future brides and models who need a good photographer, fellow musicians, and -- my comedy heros -- Steve Martin and Steven Wright.
When I played music with my band, I preferred to do a mix of modern rock and select classic rock songs that have not already been played to death.
When I listen to music, my favorite newer bands are Blink 182, The Killers, Green Day, The Darkness, Hoobastank, Dream Theater, Joe Satriani, and that genre.
For classic rock, I like Van Halen, Rush, and AC/DC.
And, depending on my mood, I also sometimes like to listen to certain types of jazz.
Comedies are my favorite type of movie. Especially silly ones like Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Steve Martin in Oldoes but goodies are The Jerk, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, and most Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller movies.
My favorite recent movies have been Juno, Superbad, Borat, Team America: World Police, and 40 Year-Old Virgin. Way funny!
As for more serious movies, yet still light-hearted, I liked Jack Nicholson in About Schmidt and As Good As It Gets.
I don't have time to watch as much TV these days as I would like. But, when I do, a Seinfeld rerun will always grab my attention. I love The Office, and Curb Your Enthusiasm and Flight of the Conchords on HBO! Other than that, I try to catch up on world events with the news shows -- or Jon Stewart and John Colbert. :)
"Delphi Database Development" by... well... by me (and three other guys). A software development reference book written in 1996 and now obsolete and out of print.
"Replay" by Ken Grimwood. Excellent fiction book!
Lately, I've also been reading this big thick book about a type of dinosaur called a Thesaurus. I don't quite follow the story yet. But, what I gather is that this animal was big, large, huge, gigantic, sizeable, enormous, and so on. :)
Of course, my comedy idols -- Steve Martin and Steven Wright.
Neil Peart (drummer for Rush), Mike Portnoy (drummer for Dream Theater), Eddie Van Halen (you know), Joe Satriani (in case you don't know -- better than Eddie Van Halen).
And... anyone and everyone who ever supported me in achieving my dreams without discouraging me.
