Friends, partying, literature, good conversation.
Jesus, Tupac Shakur, Rodney Dangerfield.
I generally enjoy all kinds of music. Tupac Shakur my favorite artist of all time, but I also like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, ACDC, Notorious B.I.G, good R & B, Eminem, most old school rock, some alternative, some new school rock, and selective country.
Anything with Rodney Dangerfield, Blade trilogy, Boondock Saints, Silence of the Lambs, Dodgeball, The Punisher.
Don't watch much T.V. I like The Simpsons, War at Home, and sports.
It would take me forever to list my favorites. Here's some good authors for ya though: J.R.R Tolkien, Dan Brown, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Shakespeare (If you understand Shakespeare I applaud you, most people don't realize that Romeo and Juliet is actually a comedy and not a tragedy. Gotta love satire), Thoreau, L'Amour, Terry Brooks, Brian Keene, William Chaucer. There's more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
I don't have any heroes. I'm my own person. There's a ton of people that I admire though. First of all, I have a ton of love for my friends, especially those that have been with me for a while and have put up with all my idiosyncrasies and bullshit. That's true love right there. I also admire selective members of my family, Rocky Bleier, and the troops fighting in Iraq.
