too many to write, but i'll make a short, inadequate list...art, music, reading, philosophy, clothes straight out of the dryer, smell of rain coming, freshly cut grass,and faint perfume. conversation with strangers, animals-cats especially, daydreaming, attempting to find the most pragmatic answers to approach extremely complicated questions, science, puzzles, psychology, people watching, drawing, finding ways to amuse myself...playing
another list that will be woefully insufficient...Blues, rock and metal are the big three groups. i enjoy old-fashioned blues and classic rock. my real introduction to music was hendrix and from there i found myself listening to grind music and going to shows. of modern music my favorites are: lamb of god, dilinger escaple plan, mr. bungle, soilent green, god forbid, today is the day, fiona apple, black dhalia, anyhing by mike patton, chris cornell, and maynard james keenan. all-time favorites: hendrix, pink floyd, beatles, animals, country joe, doors, jimmy cliff, the fuckin' clash, rolling stones, tool, stevie ray vaughn, black sabbath, simon and garfunkle, screaming jay hawkins...
clockwork orange, jabob's ladder, one flew over the cukoo's nest, crossing gaurd, american beauty, harold and maude, braker morant,garden state, tarantinos shit, angels in america, what about bob?, unbreakable, munich, sexy beast, city of god, not another teen movie
i don't really watch tv much. i watch the red sox, the occasional documentary, and bill maher (but that's not tv, it's HBO)
