Trying to figure out what leads people to behave like they do (i.e. manic, obnoxious, introverted, Republican...), mountain biking, reading, documentaries, indie films, music, songwriting, drumming, skiing, nice shoes (although I don't own any), plaid things, hiking in the redwoods, and of course...eating sushi.
Tom Waits (again, but this time actually have a conversation with him), Rupert Murdoch (so I can knock his ass out cold), and John Lennon (but, alas, I am too late).
David Bowie, Tom Waits, Cracker, Ween, Flaming Lips, Jane's Addiction, Pixies, Polyphonic Spree, Death Cab For Cutie, Beatles, White Stripes, PJ Harvey, Tenacious D, Nirvana, etc.
I'll go to or Netflix pretty much any documentary or indie or foreign film I can find. I'll occasionally go to a big blockbuster movie, but damn it all, I won't like it one bit.
It's all horseshit...'cept the Simpsons of course
Brothers K, by David James Duncan (My favorite book), East of Eden, by John Steinbeck (a very close second), Sometimes a Great Notion, by Ken Kesey (Brilliant), any and all Steinbeck, any and all Tom Robbins, many, many others too numerous to list here
Anyone who is doing exactly what they want to be doing with their lives. I don't know many who are so lucky, but I strive every day to get there.
