Making out with girls that have a bone structure and genetic code superior to mine...umm Spending time with my family, hanging out with my buddies, thinking about life, ummm, let's see, basically anything a four year old would do if they didn't have a Mommy telling not to do it....like Building Forts, putting people into the figure four leg lock, making water ballons, naps, I'm a big fan of naps...cookies..staying sober, oh yeah writing, performing, reading, making faces in mirrors, fireworks.....girls with big boobs and mediocre dreams...japanese rocker kids...christmas episodes of tv shows...watching people beer goggle on themselves...people watching in general...growing mustaches just for laughs...green tea, im big into that these days...old school video games, oh yeah one day I want to be so funny the entire audience will want to take me out to TGIFridays and we can pretend it's my birthday and I'll get a giant Birthday Boy sundae with sparklers in it.
Anybody that likes to laugh, especially anybody that NEEDS to laugh. As far as like famous people or you know cool kids either alive or dead, I'd love to meet Bill Murray, Doug Kenney, Peter Farrelly, Woody Allen, Harold Ramis, Sam Kinison, Tom Shadyack, of course Chris Farely, St. Francis of Asissi, John Hughes, Richard Pryor, all of the three stooges including Curly Joe, Abott and Costello, Jim Carrey....I sound like some sort of comedy nerd...did I say Lindsay Lohan, back when she had globes...oh yeah Bon Scott, he would have been cool to hang with...um wow...much like my life, i should have planned this better...who else?

I love music, love it. Anything that makes me feel stuff...Especially anything that Rocks, AC-DC, Black Sabbath, Van Halen....I thank God everyday for power ballads...I truely believe every rose does indeed have a thorn...ummm Time Machine Music, you know stuff that is linked with a cool memory like when I hear Loverboy I think of Chris Farely, or more importantly the stuff that is the soundtrack of my life, like that one song by The Outfield, I think of a summer night driving with my family, sleeping in the back seat of my parents car with my brothers...now that I sound like a woman how about singer songwriters...Jim Croce anyone? I love when bands cover other people's stuff and make it their own because you know they were feeling it...Metallica's cover of Sabbra Cadabra are you kidding me?

Anything that makes me laugh....The complete works of Bill Murray, especially Meatballs, Caddyshack, and Rushmore. Anything by Scorsese, if I had to pick three? How about Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, and Goodfellas. Woody Allen's Annie Hall might be a flawless film, however Broadway Danny Rose is my favorite. I'm taking this way too seriously, just relax and breath you're not getting graded on this...okay, I once fell in love with a girl who said she wanted kids one day, so they could grow up and go on adventures like the Goonies. It's a Wonderful Life is probably my favorite movie ever...but then theres always the Rockys. It's not my fault, I'm Italian from Philly, Rocky has served as a blueprint for my life. I love all of them, even V in a mystery science theatre 2000 way, only in america? that's hilarious...umm Cameron Crowe is an inspiration, one of my new years resolutions is to be able to watch Jerry McGuire and not cry at the end, it's not like it's Rudy you know? I seriously hate myself for that... Fast Times is flawless, Mike Damone is so great he makes up for Lloyd Dobbler...Almost Famous? How about Almost Frightening...that movie is too damn good...Phillip Seymour Hoffman, you a pimp dawg! aghh let's see, if you can't quote The Godfather you can't be my friend...umm Easy Money and Trading Places, as funny as it gets....Tarantino...John Hughes, you my friend are an American Instituion, may God Bless you and your family always...let's see Vinnie Vaughn has saved cinematic comedy and will get a special spot in heaven for that...ummm Sandler, Farley, Spade...the Farrelley Brothers, Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Does Chris Rock's Bring the Pain count as a movie??
