I love Music, concerts and music history, movies, film editing, video production and filmmaking , traveling like a gypsy, coffee houses, writing nonsense and having the poet being brought out of me, losing at air hockey to the "key lame" kids, playing head-games with people, the arts, inside jokes that do nothing but confuse and weird out other people, road trips, Baseball and the Yankees), camping (not really, I put that up to make my sister laugh), roller coasters and theme parks, staying up till 10 am and then going to sleep, thrift stores and pawn shops, reading books you've probably never heard of, food (my favorites being waffles and peanut butter), OD'ing on allergy pills on the weekends (not so much for the thrill but because my nose is insane), playing harmonica - cause I'm hip and cool what can I say, rainstorms and the curves and of Miss Miranda...
(though don't get the wrong idea, theres more to Hudson Hawk then that...though probably not much).
I got my Panda, my league of unholy hipsters, and my wonderful team of lawyers and yes-men, so everyone I'd like to meet I've either met them or will when I cross over...except myself in Muppet form...

Pretty much anyone that can inspire me, which doesn't leave me many hero's. I guess you can say my other hero's include women, babies and men who just had their ears ripped off...I'll let you be my hero if I can be your hero...
