Talking shit, shirking responsibility, and blowing crack smoke in people's faces.
REM, Radiohead, Widespread Panic, Queens of the Stone Age, Death Cab for Cutie/Postal Service, Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Outkast, Vintage Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway and Jackson 5, Missy Elliott, Old Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child, Old-fart stuff like Allman Brothers and Fleetwood Mac, AND I secretly adore country music, especially Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton.
I basically watch whatever is on, but some of my favorites are Sex and the City, reruns of Will and Grace and Seinfeld, the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, the whole Adult Swim lineup on Cartoon Network (minus the anime shows - anime doesn't do it for me), Weeds, and Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Burning Lights by Marc and Bella Chagall, The Great Shark Hunt and Generation of Swine by Hunter Thompson, and anything by Bret Easton Ellis. I'm a big fan of pretentious, nihilistic fiction. I also love David Sedaris. Other than that I mostly read newsmagazines and tabloid rags.
