Music, my iPod (13,026 songs and counting!), reading, vampire and horror movies, travel, my wife and son, sexy and sexual women, cooking, food, wine, sex and anything hedonistic with someone who truly enjoys life!
The person who sees my pics, reads my profile and is intrigued enough to write to me. I figure at that point there is enough in common that we would really get along well.
As far as famous people I'd like to meet...hmm. Would love to hang out with Jeremy Davies. I think he is a cool actor. Weird, but cool. Add Christopher Walken to the list. Weird and cool again. Hell, anyone cool would be good! I travel a lot so if there are cool people in any of the following cities, hit me up! Nashville, Memphis, Des Moines, Holland MI, New York City, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, New Orleans...!

Last 10 songs that played on my iTunes!
Pretty much anything other than new country and folky folk. I used to DJ at an alternative station so that is first love. I enjoy chill out music and candles with a glass of wine in the evening. Favorite bands are Radiohead, Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Elvis Costello, U2, Catherine Wheel, Better Than Ezra, Lloyd Cole, Paul Weller, Bettie Serveert, The Clash Dresden Dolls, Skinny Puppy and WAAAAAAY too many more to list. But then I also like a lot of classical music, jazz, blues and some world music. Music has been my drug of choice my whole life. Literally.
Here is where I am going to share a current list of what is on repeat in my CD players and on iTunes. As of April 17, 2006:
Hotel Lights "Hotel Lights" - I was never a huge fan of Ben Folds Five and can't say I was a fan at all of Ben's solo stuff since. But lo and behold here we have Hotel Lights! If you DID like Ben Folds Five and miss that sound but want a modern version of it then you are in luck! I suppose it fits in with all the "emo" labeled music of today but I find it oddly refreshing and, if this makes any sense, more mature than most of what is out there today. Hail hail Hotel Lights!
Helmet "Size Matters" - The last time I updated this I had listed Gavin Rossdale's new band Institute. Well, if you went and listened to that and like it then you will love the latest from Helmet. Unless of course you are only in love with Gavin. He ain't here but you do get one of the classic "hard for their day" Eighties bands back in top form! If it sounds like Institute at times it is because Chris plays guitar for both bands. Expand your horizons and "discover" these guys all over again!
KMFDM "Hau Rock"- I have no idea why but this is a band that I have somehow managed to avoid in my many years of involvement with music. Never played them on the radio, in the clubs or even listened to them. Never knew what I was missing! For the casual listener who is a fan of NIN, give these guys a listen. I think you'd like them even though they are NOT like NIN really. Hard to describe their sound so you'll just have to take my word and go to Amazon and preview the tracks. Hope you enjoy!
I love going to movies! Anyone wants to be my movie going partner let me know. I run out of friends that are willing to go! Some all time favorites of mine (in absolutely no particular order) (except maybe the first few!) are Zandalee, Million Dollar Hotel (yes it was written by BOno but it is a gREAT movie!), After Hours, The Hunger, Cat People, Nightmare Before Christmas, 28 days, Resident Evil, From Dusk Til Dawn, Boondock Saints (rented it by accident and LOVED it!)most all horror movies (A or B), The Matrix, Star Wars (all of them), Tomb Raider (both), The Third Man, Lost Boys, Underworld, Office Space, Dude! Where My Car?, Alien (series), Under the Tuscan Sun (how the heck did THAT get in here?), whatever that space movie was with the killer beach ball ("Dark Star" directed by John Carpenter - Thanks Sara!), Beetlejuice, 12 Monkeys, Kontroll....hell, I could go on forever. I have a pretty large and eclectic DVD collection. If this list appeals to you and you have some faves not listed, please let me know what they are! As I said, would love someone to go to and watch movies with. New addition to the list: Napoleon Dynamite! Funny. For some anyway.
Great foreign movie that is multi-dimensional. Meaning, it will leave you thinking! Rent it or buy it today!
Ode to New Orleans....come back soon my fair city!
Looking forward to this one!
Need to travel to see this one as I sincerely doubt it will be coming to Jacksonville...
Another one I hope plays here in Jacksonville! Looks like it will be a good horror movie! Something there has not been a lot of!!
I love Nightmare Before Christmas even more but this is a great movie! I love Chef!
FINALLY got to see MirrorMask! Went in keeping my expectations low and was blown away. Reaffirms that Neil Gaiman is an un-American God. If you like Labyrith, Neverending Story and similar you will love this!

Not a fan of TV as a whole. That said I do love all the CSI shows (Vegas is the best) and some of the Law & Orders. Other than that, I'll watch Leno or Letterman depending on who the guests are.
I read SOOO many books that I could not possibly list my favorites here. Topically, I will read almost any interesting horror novel as well as books set in interesting or familiar settings (New Orleans, Boston, Venice, Paris, etc). Anything that questions our origins on this planet, what the majority call religion, the reason for Aztec and Mayan civilizations and the reason they are gone, Egyptian lore included, decent vampire novels (trust me there is a ton of CRAP in that vein) and anything with a cool cover and an interesting soundinf jacket. I travel a lot so read a lot. Some specific books I have really enjoyed: "White Apples" by Jonathan Carroll (most by him), early Anne Rice including "Feast of All Saints", "Link" by Walt Becker, everything by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child and many many more. I also liked the new Dean Koontz "The Taking" Cool story for him. I will add more here as I read them.
I also love to read magazines. Wine Spectator, Rue Morgue, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Food and Wine, Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast Travel.
Two. My Grandfather and my Dad. RIP. William Orville Large and Walter Alan Cichon. My Grandad was born November 8, 1921 Died March 17, 1999 Sucks. He died while I was a Love and Rockets concert so I have that to forever relate to one of my favorite bands. He gave me the life I have and made me who I am and gave me the opportunity to grow. Everyone should be so lucky to have a "father" like him. My father is MIA in Viet Nam. You can search the internet for his name and get his military information. Next time there is an election, please vote for whoever is least likely to take us to war. No other children should grow up without their Dad because his life was thrown away to "protect our country." Diplomacy is the best way to protect our country and our, and our childrens', future.
