Most importantly enjoying life. Several things I really enjoy are rollercoasters, movies and traveling. Online gaming (Everquest and DAoC).
Outgoing, not psychotic (or heavily medicated to keep them not psychotic) people that enjoy having a good time preferably with like interests.
Classic rock although I am open to listen to just about anything, not much into rap though (or hip/hop or whatever it is being called today).
LOTR:ROTK can there be any other? Other favorites include Pulp Fiction, The Last Samurai, Blazing Saddles, History of the World part 1 and The Holy Grail.
Simpsons, Southpark, The Sopranos and The O'Reilly Factor
LOTR, W.E.B. Griffin books and medical related books to increase my job knowledge.
I can't really think of a someone that I really look up to that would be considered a 'hero', I believe everyone should live up to and do the most they can to improve themselves and help others.
