Construction..wood, metal, foam latex, etc. Skydiving. swimming, drinking, adrenaline rushes.
... a nice bearded man that I can make out with for hours....
Mark Knopfler is my current obsession (Dire Straits). The stuff I listened to in the 80's (and didn't listen to) like The Bee Gees, Boston, Journey, Def Lepard, Scorpions and Queensryche. But Souxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Love and Rockets, Bauhaus, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnyman all got me through the rough times and are still great bands. Ani DiFranco, Allman Bros. Morphine, Fugazi, Minor Threat, Crass, The Cramps, The Clash, Metallica (pre "...and Justice for All"..yes of course I still love them even though Lars is and Arse!), Ministry, Slayer, Pantera, Rush, Medeski Martin and Wood, Miles Davis, Louis Armstong, Los Lobos, Cake, Soul Coughing, LIABC, Charlie Parker, Clay McClinton, Tom Waits, Tool, Widespread Panic, Peter Gabriel, Tito Puente, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Lightening Hopkins, Robert Johnson, Suzanne Vega, early Dave Matthews, Derek and The Dominos, Bad Religion, Big Head Todd, Billie Holiday, Bela Fleck, David Grisman, Les Claypool, Primus, Django Rheinhardt, Stephane Grapelli, and many many others that I haven't discovered yet or just don't have the breath for right now.
Spy Game is the coolest movie ever made. Anything by Tony Scott is awesome. Blue. Firelight, Karakter. The Wizard of Oz. Anything Alfred Hitchcock.
CSI (Las Vegas). Lost. Bones. Medium. ER. I don't like reality TV unless it's actually modelled after reality (unlike most television right now). Old Twilight Zones.
The Great Gatsby. Atlas Shrugged. Steven King turned me into a reader.
