I like meeting all sorts of people. My friends comment to me how I seem to know a weirdly diverse spectrum of people. I would like to meet a girl who likes the Ren Fest, movies, and can share in my more-geeky pursuits. Or at least tolerate and live with them. But she should, above all, be her own person.
I would also love to meet Alton Brown, Anthony Bourdain, Matsuharu Morimoto, Tom Collichio, & Robert Irvine.
The Smithereens, Kiss, Nightwish, Iggy Pop, Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus, The 69 Eyes, Love & Rockets, Dropkick Murphys, Jackdaw, Black 47, The Hives, The Cult.
I like 70s & 80s rock, as well as early metal, alternative/indie, and celtic-rock. Rockabilly is also not to be underestimated.
Lord Of The Rings, Braveheart, Just about any Robin Hood story. Just got Flyboys on DVD (Its a pretty and fun WWI fighter pilot movie, if not terribly accurate.) and many more...I am the proud owner of a constantly expanding DVD collection. The Godfather I & II (III was terrible), Amadeus, and one of my Cult-Movie favorites - Streets Of Fire (Just got it on DVD).
Top Chef, Project Runway, Battlestar Galactica, Good Eats, Who Wants To Be A Superhero?, History Channel, Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, Heroes, Anything with Gordon Ramsay (BBC versions are better than US versions),
I'm currently working my way thru all the James Bond novels. Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. Anything by David Sidaris. Microserfs, Just read 'The Making of a Chef' by Michale Ruhlman.
Some people I would consider heroes? Chuck Yeager (met him once), Pancho Barnes, Eddie Rickenbacker, Ben Franklin, Steve Wozniak, Bud Anderson (Met him once), Bob Hoover (and met him once).
