My Interests

Music:

Diggin some of the new stuff like Plain White T's, Fall Out Boy and Finger Eleven. But the 'ol stand by's are Tori Amos, Smashing Pumpkins and of course Nirvana.

Movies:

I try to give all movies a chance but find my favorites tend to be more on the "indie" side. Some recent fav's are The Final Cut, Closer and Wedding Crashers. However you can never go wrong with some Quentin Tarentino, Steven Soderbergh or P.T. Anderson.

Television:

I LOVE my TiVo, and I do mean TiVo not some "DVR" rip off. Don't miss an episode of Entourage and have seen all the CSI episodes. I also catch Conan O'Brian whenever I can and am a sucker for Seinfeld re-runs. And as dorky as it sounds I also watch all the new Jeopardy episodes.

Books:

If I think long and hard I could most likely recall every book I've ever read, except of course children's books and text books, and manuals and..... What I'm trying to say is I'm not much of a reader but oddly enough I have read "He's Just Not That Into You".

Heroes:

Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that.

Oh No! Have I sold out to the man?

The whole story of, what I believe to be, one of the funniest photos I have ever seen.

Jay Cutler

OK, not the best showing from our rookie QB, but could have been worse. Personally I thought he did pretty good, about what I expected. I think the real issue lies with the lack of the Bro...
