Well, there's the classic sports, music, and movies interests that almost everyone seems to share. The sports being basketball, figure skating, volleyball, javelin, soccer, tennis, and basically whatever other sport you could name, whereas the music and movies is described below.
However, other things that may not be quite as common include my insane love for tacos, my amazing ability to make a fool of myself and not get embarrassed, and video games. Wait...the last ones pretty common too. Anyways, I play way too many video games for way too long.
I'd like to meet:
If I was looking for anyone in particular, then I would be dramatically limiting who is actually out there. But who I'd love to meet, but obviously can't, are Che Guevara, Galileo, Princess Diana, Benzir Bhutto, Nikola Tesla, Edgar Allan Poe, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Harold Lloyd, Forrest Gump, and Lieutenant Dan. If I ever met any of them, I'd probably pass out from excitement/confusion and miss my chance to have a wicked conversation anyways...I just can't win that one.

Nirvana, Queen, Sublime, Bob Marley, The Doors, The Ramones, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, Modest Mouse, David Bowie, Meatloaf, The Clash, Coldplay, The Police, Rage Against The Machine, The Beatles, Foreigner, Rush, old Bon Jovi, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Offspring, Disturbed, Pink Floyd, ACDC, Aerosmith, basically everything from the 70's and 80's that I haven't already mentioned, almost any rap (except for most of the stuff that's popular...for some reason its the horrible rap songs that get popular quickly), and many more...Let's throw in some Falco for good measure.
Movies:
I like almost every movie I watch. My all time favorites include The Motorcycle Diaries, Forrest Gump, The Indiana Jones Trilogy, Pulp Fiction, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Gladiator, The Princess Bride, Casablanca, and Labyrinth. And under the comedy genre you've got the classic Monty Python's, the original Pink Panther films, Ace Ventura's, Liar Liar, The Mask, The Cable Guy, Beverly Hill's Ninja, Almost Heros, Anchorman, Elf, and Talladega Nights. And other random wicked ones: 10 Things I Hate About You, Back to the Future part 1, 2, and 3, The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, Pay It Forwards, Beanie and Seisle (may not exist), The Nightmare Before Christmas, Johnny Dangerously, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Scrooged.
Television:
I'm trying to limit my tv time. Family Guy, The Simpson's, any basketball games (any sport really...), Pardon The Interruption, Futurama, That 70's Show, Seinfeld, Robot Chicken, South Park, and other random ones. American Gladiators or MXC = always a good watch
Books:

The Stand - Stephen King,
The Green Mile - King,
The Long Walk - King,
Salem's Lot - King,
Angels and Demons - Dan Brown, The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck,
The Five People You Meet In Heaven - Mitch Albom,
The Princess Bride - S.Morgenstern,
Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury, Of Mice and Men - Steinbeck, The Pearl - Steinbeck, The Chrysalids - John Wyndham.
I'm a Shakespeare fan - Hamlet and Titus Andronicus especially.
I also really enjoy Poe's work, as well as absolutely any poetry.Next on my list: The Sorrows of Young Werther - Goethe, No Exit - Jean Paul Sartre, and the newish Jim Morrison biography.
Heroes:
The lord, my brother, the ninja turtles, and Indiana Jones.
