Notre Dame football, traveling the world!, baseball, BBQ, a good bottle of Malbec, cooking, movies, strolling through downtown Chicago, and hitting the open road in the summer without a destination in mind.
Linkin Park, Fuel, My Chemical Romance, Hinder, Millencolin, Green Day, Offspring, Ataris, The Fray, among others
Too many to mention but some of my favorites are: Boondock Saints, Sideways, Saving Private Ryan, Road Trip, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Love Actually, Old School, Rudy, Forrest Gump, Napoleon Dynamite, Braveheart, Dumb and Dumber, The Lord of the Ringses, and The Godfathers
The Office, Gray's Anatomy, Jericho
John Steinbeck, Michael Crichton, and Frommers Travel guides (not exactly top notch literature, but I have a million of them now so I may as well throw them in the mix). I'm also still a huge fan of Christopher Pike, R.L. Stine, and Choose Your Own Adventure books.
