as I said before - I love film and currently attending The University of Texas Film School studying to be a screenwriter/director. (You know, the guy that no one ever hears about but is the driving force behind the creative process.)
Anyone who has a passion for life or what they want to do or do do. I love people who are out there and have no fear to try new things or get up on a karoake stage and belt out a tune to a crowd of strangers. I tend to hang with type A personalities - But I would personally like to meet Jack Nicholson, Charles Bukowski, William S Burroughs, Fedrico Fellini, Stanley Kubrick, Natalia Vodanova, Gisele, Maria Sharapova, Paris, Orson Welles, and a few more- and of course the one and only Jaguar -in another lifetime, and in the afterlife!!!!!
Music is another thing which I love. I was privledged enough to work with an incredible group of electronic music promoters while living in Victoria, Canada and really got into a subculture of artists and musicians. It exposed me to many other forms of music and shady experiences, like raves, club nights, and after after hours! DJ's I love - Darren Emerson, Digweed, Sasha, DJ Dan, Dave Seamen, James Boatmen, Pascal when he plays, Jimbo, Nemesis, Alex Joy, Jeno, David Alavarado, BT, Fat Boy Slim, Jimmy Van M, Carl Cox, Marcello, Rabbit in the Moon, Garth, Little Louis Vega, and the legendary late Brent Carmichael!!!! I also love rock, especially Led Zepplin, the Doors, and Pink Floyd, the Stones, but also have no problem with opera and classical music ( I particurarly love Beethoven's Ninth performed by Karajan and The Berlin Philharmonic) But, there is definately room for Hip-hop such as Nelly, Jay-Z, 50 Cent as of recent. I also love very mellow bands like Morphine, Mazzy Star, others - Screaming Trees, Cracker, Pearl Jam, Cowboy Mouth, Parliament Funkadelic, Sly & the Family stone, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac hayes, L7, blondie, Rage against..., 311, Robert Johnson, Robert Cray, and the list is endless.....

As of the last few years - I have grown an a aprreciation for TV shows. Everything else has to come post Miami Vice. Now I love The L Word, Seinfeld, Weeds, Entourage, Sex and The City, Curb your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under, Rescue Me, and The Bill Maher Show. Newest guilty pleasure on TV - Nip/Tuck - It RULES!!
Favorite Book by far The Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy O'Toole. I also love Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s books - Slaugterhouse Five, Cat's Cadle, Jailbird etc. Charles Bukowski - Notes of a Dirty Old Man, Hollywood, and Pulp etc. Another of my favorite authors is Tom Robbins - Jitterbug Perfume, Still Life with Woodpecker, and Another Roadside Attraction - Love Lolita By Nabokov - and my recent book was The Last of The Savages by John McTiernen(sp.) Also, the classics are dear to my heart like Shakespeare, Any Greek Mythology or Epic, and the Works of Oscar Wilde. My favorite children's story is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and all the Chronicle's Of Narnia by C.S. Lewis I will read anything and am looking foward to my next read which will be Portnoy's Complaint by Roth. One other little pleasure of mine is erotic literature - like the works of Anais Nin, Henry Miller, and I think the ones by Anne Rice are total shite!!!
My Step Dad by far number one on the list. next The filmmakers Fredrico Fellini, Orsen Wells, and Stanley Kubrick
