Music and the making thereof, the noises in my head, yelling at the television, shaking my fist at things, really good & really bad movies, The Simpsons, eating, juggling, bowling, "fresh air," showering, cats, cussing, video games, cussing while playing video games, M.C. Escher, things with lots of wires and knobs, psychedelic experiences, going to the drive-in, drinking, sleeping, headache medicine, silence, sharks, forensics, post modernism, the spiritual taxation of capitalism & commodity fetishism, media literacy, over-analyzing the train wreck that is pop culture, collecting vinyl, mixing said vinyl, vocabulary, yammering on about esoteric crap nobody else cares about, synthetic happiness, girls with glasses, crustacean seafood, collared shirts, exotic cuisine, Paulaner, Hoegaarden, discogs... Oh, and I have a strange fascination w/ serial killers/degenerates/sociopaths/whackos.
Bill Hicks, Klaus Kinski, Agnes Skinner, Arj Barker, Gary Busey, Stan Brakhage, Dr. Bomb, The Cadbury Easter Bunny, Werner Herzog, Ibrahim Alfa, Scrooge McDuck, Sascha Baron Cohen, John Sugg, L Ron Hubbard, & whoever invented air conditioning.
Also, I'd like to meet Adam De La Pena.... & kill him.

basically anything sincere, left of center and a little silly.
Aguirre the Wrath of God, Stalker, Point Blank, Team America, Errol Morris's stuff, Brakhage's stuff, the Big Lebowski, Holy Mountain, I Am Cuba, R.O.T.O.R., Happiness, blah blah blah. Basically it boils down to a few names; Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Herzog, Morris, Brakhage, the Cohen brothers, & Wong Kar-Wai.
The Simpsons, MST3K, 1st Person, The Daily Show, Strangers With Candy, Flight Of The Conchords, Dr. Katz, Heroes, Entourage, Space Ghost: Coast To Coast, Futurama, South Park, Games And Sports Network, Current TV, Beavis & Butthead, Da Ali G Show, Duck Tales, Unsolved Mysteries, Jeopardy, Cash Cab, Identity, Andy Milonakis, The Office, Big Love, and all of those sensationalized forensics shows. Oh, & I do NOT like Aqua Teen Hungerforce. That show just isn't funny.
