Watching, writing and directing films. Lots of my time is spent pouring as much potent material into stories and film scripts as possible. Whiskey, Rye and Jager. Coffee, it deserves statues and is a modern wonder/treasure (Screw gold and diamonds, I like coffee). Keeping up on local metal shows and rock shows in general. Women (an unyielding and sometimes dangerous study). Listening to music has gone from a joy, to a need over the years. Driving blow-out-your-ass music & film is what keeps me in motion. Some days I just wake up with the hunger to go cruisin' and turn up the stereo. Paintball, it's a real rush and those who play know. I still read comic books and damn near anything readable (poetry, magazines, novels.); presented thoughtfully and sometimes profoundly. Read kiddies read! Feed that brain aneurism.
People that dig what I dig. If you've invested time in Shenmue, heard most of Anthrax's albums or you have your own quality insight, chances are we'd talk.
