Arts and entertainment, I love movies, music, games, sports (especially ASU football and the Green Bay Packers,) cooking, entertaining, Xbox, sports cars, classic cars, weightlifting, the search for knowledge, news, debating, teaching, reading and gunplay.
Cool people who like to go out and be social, also kick back and relax. I like to experience new things, including food, music and culture. I enjoy meeting people in relaxing environments where everyone is having a good time and is easy to talk with. I would love to find the right woman at some point, someone to share experiences with, who I could truly give my heart to. The search continues, or is it the saga? If I had a chance to meet an influential person, it would be the Dalai Lama as his mix of old world pragmatism, well-rounded philosphy and interest in modern science make him one hell of a interesting person. Bill Gates, Lucy Lui, and my boys from AC/DC might not be bad either.
My favorite band has always been AC/DC, hell, I used to have their tattoo as well. I like all kinds of music however, having grown up in a family where all kinds of music were represented. My dad puts on a music festival each year (go Middlesex Music Festival!) so I like everything from blues to bluegrass to folk to country to rock to heavy metal to pop to hip hop to dance to classical to ethnic and instrumental, and I love classical Spanish guitar as well. I want Mariachis at my wedding and bagpipes at my funeral, that's all!
Let's see, my favorite movie is Braveheart, but I love all kinds of movies: Forrest Gump, Groundhog Day, "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," Uncle Buck, Tommy Boy, Crash, Schindler's List, Shawshank Redemption, Silence of the Lambs, Office Space, Happy Gilmore, Caddyshack, What the Bleep do we Know, Breakfast Club, etc... etc... etc.... I like movies of all kinds, as long as they're good! lol Best movie of 2007 was Charlie Wilson's War.
I love to learn while I'm watching TV, so the History Channel, TLC and Discovery, Disc. Health, Disc. Science, National Geographic, Food Network and the Military Channel are my favorites. I love news as well. My favorite shows Curb Your Enthusiasm, sadly Six Feet Under (now gone), and I like The Shield, South Park, Rescue Me, Damages, and Nip/Tuck as well. Who doesn't love the first three weeks of American Idol as well? I hate the rest of the show, but the auditions are classic!
I love Tom Clancy, Dick Marcinko, and Stephen King. Most recently, I read Why People Believe Weird Things by Michael Shermer, it was a great introspective on the fundamentals of belief structures and argument, but it was a slow read. I am currently reading the Bible just to be able to say I did it, though I am an agnostic. I like books that capture your attention and hold it, making you want more. My favorite is "The Next President," by Joseph Flynn, the show "24" completely ripped it off!
Jesse "The Body" Ventura, Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Charles Darwin, the men and women of the armed forces, and of course Eric Cartman.
