Going to the gym, live shows of any kind, movies(when something good is out), Guitar Hero, english classes, wasting time with friends.
You can't really know who's out there untill you meet them, so I can't really answer this.Aim at BobertMCC
Mirah, Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart, Vader, Pantera, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Decemberists, Primus, Microwave Prince, Depeche Mode, Bad Religion, New Order, Flogging Molly, Franz Liszt, Metallica(old), Busta Rhymes, Cypress Hill, Big & Rich....This list goes on for a long, long time. Almost any music really.
Noir is a fav, but I like most anything. I guess the top of the pile is something like...Clockwork Orange, Snatch, The Maltese Falcon, Brick(see this movie)The Third Man, Airplane, Jin Roh, Kung Fu Hustle, Mr.Vampire, Fist of Legend, Donnie Darko...I'll stop now, there's a lot.
Adult Swim and Comedy Central most times. History/Discovery when they don't suck.
Kurt Vonnegut is the man. I am Legend(amazing, read it), 1984, Animal Farm, The Belgariad, The Sword of Truth, Game of Thrones. There be more, but I don't read as much as I used to(curse you intrawebs!).
Optimus Prime, Marv, Spike, the few half-decent police left in this country.
