Interests are eclectic: Music; Drumming and everything drum related; language and linguistic concerns; Football-Soccer.
I go to Jazz and Metal shows.
Now, another one of my interests is beer. Yeah, some people drink beer but I'm possessed by beer. Everything about it interests me. They're so good, you'll even kill a person with your bare hands for one! I tend to like Northwestern U.S. beer, Belgium, some German and Austrian beer. The beers I loved by brand: Hoegaarden, Chimay (the "Cing Cents" is the best), Dick's Danger Ale, Bavik, Stella Artois, Gulden Draak, Kwak, Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, Schneider-Weisse, Ottokringer (named after the Viennese suburb), Arrogant Bastard, Duvel, Piraat, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, De Koninck, Dragon Stout (from Jamaica!), Castle Lager (from South Africa), Alexander Keith's I.P.A., Red Stripe, Fat Tire, New Belgium's 1554, Kroenenbourg's 1664, etc...

Dunno.
What are words worth? Remember that one line, "Drugs didn't change how I felt...they changed my life!" Where was I? Oh, yeah. Leave some books at my door then we'll be cool.
I can't read yet, but I can try.
There are no heroes...just gyros.
