Outdoor activities are always a good way to go if you can get me to leave my place. Once I'm out though I love it. Hiking, biking, running, kickball. I love movies and comedy. Love to be in front of an audience doing comedy. I love to write when I get in a groove. Hanging out with friends just talking. Politics and being socially aware are important to me.
My dad. He died before I was born so it would be nice to have actually met him. I always wonder what my life would have been like had he not died. How different would it have been? Other actors and comedians to network or for friendship. A studio exec looking for someone for their own sitcom. Friends from my past to reconnect. Steve Martin. Mike Meyers.
Music for me is really dependent upon my mood. I've intentionally listened to everything from rap to bluegrass to classical. It really does depend on what I'm feeling or want to feel. I think most music has value.
The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Remo Williams - The adventure begins. "The Tall Guy" with Jeff Goldblum, Emma Thompson and Rowan Adkinson. Cool Hand Luke. Most movies with a time travel theme. I would love to go back in time and change some things or at the least see WHY I did some things. I'm sure I'm not alone there.
I'll generally watch anything about space on Discovery or TLC. Cheezy shows about bigfoot or the Lochness monster or UFO's if I just want to turn my brain off and zone out. Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Those shows are funny and informative and they are brilliant...Usually. The old "Kung Fu" series which I've rediscovered on DVD and realized how influential that series was on me. Sad but true.
I enjoy Dean Koontz. The Road Less Traveled: M.Scott Peck, came to me at a good point in my life. Timeline (book not the movie), Time Travelers Wife (made me cry even though I knew how it was kinda gonna end). Just read Steve Martin: Born Standing Up and came to the realization of how much my sense of humor was tied to his early stuff. Reading it was like a time machine.
Interesting question. It's hard to find a hero nowadays. We are now a society who loves to kill our hero's and expose every little flaw until they spend their time answering inane questions and no longer can do what it is they do. Everyone has their own agenda now. However, the folks at the Daily Show. Stephen Colbert for going to the Whitehouse Correspondents dinner and not being afraid to say the truth in the middle of that den of vipers and just feet from Dubya himself. It takes guts to do what you believe no matter what consequences may be inflicted upon you. My Mom. Single mother who has raised (and in some ways is still raising) 4 kids on her own after going through a lot of loss, sacrifice and pain.
