cycling, skiing, traveling, nice restaurants, and trying new things which soon will include kitesurfing, and anything else that catches my eye in my new found free time
Music:
pretty eclectic taste --hip hop, rock, rap, techno(I prefer to think of it as european cool instead of the more common opinion of annoying and adolescent-- although I do get embarrassed when caught listening to it, hey, I can't be confident about everything)
Movies:
I love stupid comedies--of the Talladega Nights, Old School genre
Movies that have left a strong impression with me include American History X, Vanilla Sky--I still haven't seen the original, and plenty more I can't think of right now
Television:
Remember the Sunday Afternoon Kung Fu movies they used to show on television? Yeah well I do and I loved them-- I have no martial arts training but I often refer to my devious methods socially, or professionally as "ninja skills"
I don't watch much television but I have seen a few episodes of Heroes and liked it and I have seen some Entourage episodes which were great.
Books:
Anything Clive Cussler for brain candy, for the serious side I also want to start reading again about theories on paradigms-- I have been digging through my books all afternoon looking for one I have by Thomas Kuhn on paradigm shifts but I don't know where it went, I may have to hit the bookstore this weekend
Heroes:
Mom-- strong, sensitive, caring, ambitious my Stepfather-- he taught me so much about everything
I'm open to suggestions about public figures-- be prepared to defend them
