MUSIC, particularly METAL in all its forms, though I'm a big JAZZ head as well...art, design, illustration, CREATIVITY. Self-expression that's honest, that's done because of the burning need to dig deeper and understand...champion of the underdog until I fucking DIE...if you don't learn more about what's going on all around you, you'll be someone else's sucker -- COUNT ON IT.
People who say what they mean and mean what they say.
You'll learn everything you need to know about life watching all three GODFATHER movies. Trust me on this one.
Aside from DISCOVERY, Sports and Movies, TV is a giant waste of fucking time.
