My Interests

Having no kidney stones would be a nice hobby.

This U.K. Beat Boxer is not only talented - he is funny.

Movies:

Breaking Away, Raising Arizona, Goodfellas, Godfather (I and II), The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou, The Cooler, The King Of Comedy, The Unforgiven (1992 version), Office Space, Princess Bride, Sideways, American Splendor, Fargo, Michael Clayton, Magnolia, Boogie Nights, After Hours, the list will continue when I can think of more.....

I....drink...your...MILKSHAKE!!!

Books:

Read "So You Wanna Be A Rock N Roll Star" by Semisonic's drummer Jake Schlicter. Explains a lot about the music business.

Heroes:

Heroes....that's a tough one these days. Heroes of the past weren't torn apart like they are today. Even the greatest of humans have flaws.
