Listening and creating great music. Hanging out with good people. Taking photos with my camera. Reading books. Studying the fine art of.....
I'd like to meet:

Television:
It doesn't matter if you have 5 channels or 500... there still never seems to be anything interesting on the boob tube. I especially hate MTV -aka eMpTyV (which plays anything but real music). Most sitcoms and talkshows I find as an insult to the intellect, and I try to avoid like the plague. I mainly turn the television on to watch dvds.
Books:
No doubt - my favourite book is the English Dictionary.
These are some of the other books I highly enjoy (in no order): Johnny Got His Gun- Dalton Trumbo ... A Clockwork Orange- Anthony Burgess ... Collected Poems / Bell Jar- Sylvia Plath ... Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas- Hunter S Thompson ... various forms of literature from William S Burroughs ... Older books from Stephen King ... The Talisman- Stephen King / Peter Straub ... Books Of Abarat / The Great & Secret Show / Everville / Thief Of Always- Clive Barker ... Side Effects- Woody Allen ... One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest- Ken Kesey ... Still Life With Woodpecker- Tom Robbins (of course there are more)
Heroes:
If you look really hard... you will see the many faces of all my heros. Each plays a small part of being a "hero" in their own way.
I'm full of shit.
Don't look too hard,
cause you will go blind.
