Composing music, Shredding...This might make me sound less interesting, but aside from hanging out with my friends, that's all I do: Play guitar.

I like The Shining by Stephen King, and his books, The Regulators and Desperation. I like Survivor by Chuck Palanuik, as well as Choke and The Haunted. Anthem was great. I also like Rockstar biographies. Anything that makes me think. Just finished Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the 2nd time. Currently reading Fahrenheit 451, and I think it is just super. It's really good. Looking to get more into some cool authors e.g. Kafka, Heidegger, Nietzche, Poe.
Jason Becker because he has fought Lou Gehrigs disease since about 1990. Bruce Lee kicks ass. Gene Simmons for coming to America knowing no English and rising to become a superstar.
