When I have the extra time and money, I spend it on concerts and music festivals. (Bonnaroo 2002, Telluride Bluegrass Festival 2003, Phish 2004, Wakarusa 2005) My biggest musical obsession is Phish, who I would literally give my right big toe for a reunion. :)I enjoy hanging out with friends, even if that means pointless drives with no destination, sitting around watching dvds, listening to music, and playing super Nintendo (yep...I’m old school...but I can whoop ass at Super Mario Kart)Since summer gets pretty hot here in swampeast Missouri, it is a good time for swimming and float trips. I also like camping, though I prefer it in the spring and fall.Another thing I love is animals. In fact, more often than not, I prefer them to people.
Trey Anastasio (and any members of Phish, though I did meet Mike once :), Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Waits, Jerry Garcia...?
I listen to a wide variety of music, including but not limited to: Phish Grateful Dead Jerry Garcia, Tom WaitsTalking Heads Mike Gordon and Leo Kottke Keller Williams Umphrey's McGeeJohnny Cash,Oysterhead, Jimi Hendrix, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten,Bob DylanJJ Cale, Willie Nelson, The Beatles,The DoorsBob Marley, Sublime, Cake, Eric Clapton, Nirvana, Tool, A Perfect Circle, The Beatles Led Zeppelin, Les Claypool, some Gov't Mule...and the list continues...Tom Waits - God's Away On Business
Fear and Loathing in Las VegasFight Club , Bittersweet Motel, The Stepford Wives, Sin City, The Life of David Gale, Blow, Up In Smoke Friday, Officespace, Dazed and Confused, Lord of the Rings, Mallrats, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Napolean Dynamite, Big Fish, American Beauty Memento, The Matrix, Half Baked, Clerks, Walk the Line, Saw, Meet the Parents...many more I can't think of right now
I watch more TV than I probably should :/ but I like The SimpsonsThat 70's showColbert Report Sex in the City, Food Network, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Dave Chappelle Robot Chicken, Project Runway, Seinfeld, and Adult Swim. During the day when there's nothing else on and I can't seem to get out of bed, I find myself watching all of the court shows (Judge Joe Brown, Judge Hatchett, People's Court, Judge Judy, Divorce Court)...it's terrible...I know.
is one of my all time favorite books.I also love all of Hunter S. Thompson's writings. He was an absolute genius and established himself in the world of journalism. He rebelled against society's "standards" and developed his own style of journalism. Go Gonzo! I'm currently reading The Rum Diary. Some of his other books that I have read include - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Better Than Sex, Generation of Swine: Decadence and Degradation of the '80's, and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72.Shakespeare and J.R.R. Tolkien are both great writers, and when you don't have the time to read their books, you can always enjoy the movies. :)
