Music:
Anything Hendrix, ESPECIALLY his blues, and Tool. Red dirt music; blues and more blues; acid rock; country (just not the new stuff); hard rock; progressive rock; industrial (thanks Timmo); jazz; alternative; 80's and 90's metal-I'm in this Pantera (Dimebag is still a god)and Primus phase; classical (I do believe I'm a Puccini and Tchaikovsky addict); and early 80's reject music from movies that had Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall (cuz he looks sooooo much like Vo), etc. Pretty much anything but polka....
Movies:
Anything John Wayne- even if he was a bigot; Goonies (yeah, I said it); war movies- with the exception of Platoon as Oliver Stone is a communist; The Thin Man; Thank You for Smoking is insane; the movie of all movies- Caddyshack! Recently, Napoleon Dynamite. I've also come to enjoy 40 Year Old Virgin, since I plan on being a born-again one....
Television:
I don't really watch much TV anymore. When I do it's usually Jeopardy, the History Channel, MNF, South Park, Iron Chef or anything FN, and FOXNews. I dig a good Backyardigans every once in a while, too....
Books:
Anna Karenina; anything Tolstoy; Diana Gabaldon is AMAZING; Keats.... Other than that, my various biology, chemistry, and English texts are about it at the moment due to time constraints. I'm usually a voracious reader and will read ANYTHING. I've recently bought a book by Colm A. Kelleher and George Knapp, but cannot bring myself to type the name due to my NA superstitions. :o) I will read it one of these days, if it kills me.
Heroes:
The Man of all Men and Asshole of all Assholes, he served 4 tours as a Ranger in Vietnam, has never failed to Lead The Way, he has an absolutely nonexistent tolerance for bullshit- my Pop used to be my hero, along with any and all who wear a uniform to protect my right to talk trash.My 29-year old baby brother and older sister. They've been through a lot of crap and have come through it exponentially stronger. They mean the world to me.SFC Richard J. Lacey LLDS,RCG 1st Sig Bde. 31JAN1968 104535N 1063940E(XS816898) ...
