Photography, listening to music, working on computers, racing my car (sometimes), electricity, taking naps, enjoying the outdoors and being goofy sometimes. As a matter of goofiness recently I've taken a slight interest in Karaoke as well as Background Acting...however, the latter is slightly harder to accomplish as I do have a day job. :( But I look forward to the occasional variety!
Astrology is interesting but I'm not totally sure whether to believe horoscopes yet!
I have also created a timeline Web site chronicling the construction of La Boheme: The North Park Condominiums . I finally finished it recently. Check it out sometime if you're into that sort of thing.

I'd like to meet:
Someone who can benefit from what I have learned in life, and possibly teach me a few things as well. Someone who encourages me and who I can bring a smile to their face when they are feeling down. Most importantly, someone who has learned not to take life too seriously, but does not lose track of goals either.
Music:
Music fit for the club, the car, the garage, whatever. Hip-hop, R&B, Rock, 80's rock/metal, old school rap/funk, ambient, new age, electronica/techno, industrial, jazz, and bits and pieces of country as I see (or hear) fit...a lot of times I will hate a piece of music first but then it will grow on me!Maroon 5, Matisyahu, Bloc Party, Silversun Pickups, Nickelback, Colbie Caillat, Reflection Theory, Sneaker Pimps, The Shins, Chris Brickler, Gavin Rossdale ("DRIVE" theme song), The Birthday Massacre (thanks Lisa :P), Depeche Mode, Evanescence, Stone Sour, Dead Can Dance, Death Cab For Cutie, Massive Attack, Dave Matthews Band, Divided By Zero, Def Leppard, , Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects, Fergie/Black Eyed Peas, Queensryche, The Clash, Steely Dan, Supertramp, Van Halen, Linkin Park, System Of a Down, Darude, Scooter, Smashing Pumpkins, Enigma, Wild Cherry, Average White Band, The Commodores, Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Black Rob, Lil Rob, D.J.

A few that come to mind -- Will To Power, Debbie Deb, and Safire. Also, recently some underground hip-hop artists -- 2Mex, Brother Ali, Psalm One, Ghost Girl, and Formula Abstract.

Pimp My Ride, Beavis and Butthead, MTV Hits, VH1 Classic,I also like shows where I am inclined to learn something such as Flip That House!, MythBusters, Dirty Jobs, and also various automotive shows.
I'm part of the DVR Generation as well for the past 2 years...but no I don't record everything, only a few shows a week. Good time management!!!
Books:
Nothing currently, except maybe instruction manuals and studying for school tests. I should probably pick up a good piece of fiction soon, though.
Heroes:
My brother Luke, my Dad, my Mom.
