Movies:

Anything James Bond. I dug the Sweeney Todd movie.
I watch a bunch of movies with my girlfriend. We tend to watch the obvious ones, but then we rent something that nobody has ever heard of before. Those tend to be fun watches.

Television:

I don't get down in front of the tv as much as I used to, but I still enjoy CSI:Miami, Law & Order: CI, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Two and a Half Men, The Dukes of Hazzard, The Young Ones and many others.
Football & baseball in HD is so nice to watch. Most sports grab my attention on TV for sure. Really, I just like TV!

Books:

I am in the middle of a small book called "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg. It's a book that is for writers. Whether it be poets or musicians, it doesn't matter. I am quite excited about this book so far, and it has been very inspirational too.
Kurt Vonnegut is my personal favorite author. Check out Slaughterhouse-Five and Mother Night! Those are my 2 favorites!

Heroes:

"Anything easy ain't worth a damn" -- Woody Hayes
I must start by saying my family have all been super heroes to me. They can fly like superman sometimes. I've been lucky to have such a great supportive family. Especially at my worst times.But I must also add some of those people who have changed my life. The ones that have stood up to the biggest challenges that anyone in the world could ever face. Whether it be an facing an illness head on (still miss ya Huck) or going and fighting a war (thanks cousins of mine) or just taking the risks that most people wouldn't ever imagine. It's a world full of heroes to me! Without them, many I know and a few I wish I did, I wouldn't know where to start myself! Thanks.
