My family, writing, sports (mainly football and basketball), enjoying the simple life...
Stephen King (one twisted imagination--I'm jealous--but one hell of a writer), Dean Koontz (ditto from King), Harlan Coben (ditto again), Derrick Brooks, Mike Alstott, Clyde Drexler, Steve Taylor (that would be an ode to sarcasm...gives me chills), Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman (bring back The Hooters!), the 77s/Mike Roe, Ellen DeGeneres & John Stewart (funniest people on TV--that would be one hell of a night, wouldn't it?), Chris Berman, ...to be continued...
Ooh boy, let's see, the 77s, the Hooters, Phil Collins, nothing country, Coldplay, 80's music (yes, I know, I'm old, bite me), death to country music, Steve Taylor, the Choir, Newsboys, Switchfoot, Goo Goo Dolls, U2, Swirling Eddies, Mae, Audio Adrenaline, the Fray, Lifehouse, Nickleback, Collective Soul, never country, never, never, never
This is tough, Shawshank Redemption (best last lines of a movie--and book, though slightly different--ever), Big Fish, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings (especially the Fellowship...), Say Anything, Midnight in the Gardern of Good and Evil, most John Cusack movies, ditto for Nic Cage, Night at the Roxbury, The Whole Nine Yards, The Shipping News, Pitch Black, Stranger Than Fiction, Primary Colors, Die Hard, that's enough for now...
Seinfeld, Friends, Law and Order, ESPN, classic 80's & 90's such as Miami Vice (who needs socks and a razor when you're that freaking cool?), Night Court, Married With Children (stupid I know, but damn funny), Moonlighting, Wings, the Simpsons, Medium, Becker (my brother directed three episodes!), Monk
Most stories of Stephen King (especially The Stand, Four Past Midnight, Shawshank, Bag of Bones, Green Mile), Odd Thomas (Dean Koontz), If I Never Get Back (Darryl Brock), Gone for Good (Harlan Coben), Tell No One (Harlan Coben), early Grisham books (A Time to Kill, The Firm--that movie pissed me off), Watch For Me on the Mountain (Forrest Carter), This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness, The Oath (Frank Peretti)...
my parents, my grandpa (If I am half the man he was, I will be beyond blessed, as will those around me), my brother, any successful and happy writer (I am beyond envious), anyone who has the strength to do the right thing daily and still live a happy, spiritual life.
