Music, Writing, Photography, Cycling, Skate Boarding, Blogs, Street Fighter II, Disc Golf (I am quickly becoming the Tiger Woods of this would be sport, which, yes it is. If real golf can be concidered one, then this really deserves the title. We don't get caddies and we work harder and cuss more to make a shot.), random yelling out of zen thoughts, and making wise cracks when it is really really not appropriate.

Anything by Terry Goodkind right now, David Eddings, Hemmingway, Vonnegut, Sarah Douglas, Jack Kerouac, Dean Koontz, Dan Brown, David Sedaris, C.S. Lewis, Hunter S. Thompson, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Augustan Burroughs, Ken Kesey (a local hero), William Burroughs (even though what I read of his work made my skin crawl, bile come to the back of my throat, tears come to my eyes and in general made me super uncomfortable and actually almost fear reading any further...but hell, how often do you find someone that can make you feel all of that in just one book?)...wow, again, this list could simply go on for ever. In short, I read a lot, primarily fiction, but some non-fiction when I am feeling daring.
