Guitar, the Need For Speed series. I think I'm done with PC gaming for awhile. My PS2 is just too convenient and can be done from my big comfy recliner. Learning to cook. GNU/Linux. American History. Comic books. Sleep. Trying to help people that want to break their Microsoft addiction. There is nothing under the sun that doesn't hold a certain fascination.
I would like to meet my maternal grandfather who died when I was very young. He was an interesting person who led a very interesting life and I would love to hear about it in his own words. Other than that, I like to take people as I find them and I enjoy spending time with anyone who can hold up a decent conversation. Or an indecent one for that matter.

Please, at least go to the breast cancer site. Let's make this world a safe place for boobs.
80's hair bands. Pretty much anything but new country. I am a huge Def Leppard fan and have been since '83. I am a big fan of the blues of any era. I occasionally indulge in classical and jazz. I even went to see an Italian opera in Mongolia. I even enjoy electronica if I'm in that type of club. (A very rare occurence)

It took time and patience to hear and appreciate the blues. It took a woman to teach me what it meant.
Lightning Hopkins performing Hurricane Beulah and Baby, Scratch My Back.
If you can watch the great Son House play Death Letter and it doesn't move you at all, I probably don't want to know you.
I know what the history books say. Muddy Waters invented electricity. Period.
B.B. King on Ralph Gleason's Jazz Casual 1968. Part 1
B. B. King on Ralph Gleason's Jazz Casual 1968. Part 2. It's B. B. King, what more do I need to say?
T-Bone Walker playing Stormy Monday Blues. Amazing.
Stevie Ray Vaughan playing Dirty Pool. I really can't add anything to this other than, if you watch it, let yourself feel every note he plays. This song just shreds me.
Stevie Ray Vaughan playing Life Without You. My two favorite songs by the highest in my guitarist pantheon.
Anything funny, even dumb funny. Sci fi. And for some reason that I can't explain even to me, I love French films. Also, Pixar and Dreamworks seem to be making most of my favourite movies lately. Them and Focus Features. I like movies that don't have to cover up a lack of a plot with special effects. Though an occasional good action movie or western or vampire movie are mandatory I think.
Firefly. Eureka. Scrubs. 2 1/2 Men. Farscape. Andromeda. Anything Star Trek except for DS9. Battlestar Galactica. Smallville. Are you seeing a pattern here? Oh, and MASH. That one never really gets old. For as little as I like on TV I really seem to watch way too much of it. Am I the only one that is of the opinion that the more channels there are to choose from, the less there is on that's actually worth watching?
Stephen King. Anne Rice. Frank Herbert. Isaac Asimov. Jeff Shaara. Tolkien. I will read anything that won't read me first and if I can read whatever it is at the same time that it's reading me then that's cool too. Kind of a literary 69 if you will. I also read a lot of comic books and graphic novels. See somewhere else on this page where it says 'turbo-nerd'. My pocket protector and propeller beanie are quite fashionable thank you very much.
My Dad. He is the greatest man I have ever met and I am damn lucky to have him. He was always there then and he still is now.
I had to think about that because it really short changes my Mom. She's the best too. Basically I feel sorry for anyone that didn't grow up with my parents. I'm glad they didn't though because it would make dating really awkward.
And Batman. Can't forget Batman.
