Hosting my award winning radio show, working out, becoming a more complete person, seeing movies in uncrowded theaters, being a night-owl, shooting pool, gambling in the form of poker (NLH), playing basketball, listening to music, playing sand/beach volleyball, pro wrestling, bowling (both comsic and domestic), playing video games with my friends, sleeping in on my day(s) off, layin back & watchin tv, and of course partying with all my friends and acquaintences. I'm also big on honesty/ straight fowardness without being uneccassarily cruel, being humble aka not taking oneself too seriously, creativity, truly being able to be oneself without fear of rejection, originality, and taking responsibility for one's own actions and choices . . .
I'm a hard rock/ heavy metal fan but the more coherent style, NOT death or black metal. Godsmack, Monster Magnet, Rammstein, Guns 'N Roses, Buckcherry, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Alter Bridge, Nothingface, and Saliva round out the crem de la creme.
But there are many others who haven't just gotten into my head but have gotten into my blood as this genre tends to do. AFI, Drop, Pantera, KMFDM, MegaDeth, Killswitch Engage, Static X, Ozzy Osbourne, Nirvana, Staind, Fear Factory, COLD, Rage Against the Machine, A Perfect Circle, Slipknot, Mudvayne, White/Rob Zombie, Chevelle, Filter, Drowning Pool, Tool, Velvet Revolver, Stone Sour, American Head Charge, Soundgarden, Taproot, Sevendust, Nine Inch Nails, Damageplan, Black Sabbath, Seether, Papa Roach, Chimaira, Audioslave, Dropbox, Atreyu, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Disturbed, KoRn, Shadows Fall, Puddle of Mudd, Godhead, Rise Against, and even Limp Bizkit before Fred Durst became the new Axl Rose. . .
Some bands/artists of other genres or lighter forms of rock that I have gotten into over the past several years include: Robert Randolph and The Family Band, Johnny Cash, The Polyphonic Spree, Default, 12 Stones, Kanye West, Tenacious D, Three Eleven, George Clinton and Parlimant Funkadelic, Shinedown, Hoobastank, Creed, The Killers, Coldplay, The White Stripes, Ozomatli, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Fuel, Justin Timberlake, Eric Clapton, The Roots, Lacuna Coil, KISS, Public Enemy, Sammy Hagar, Mos Def, Tom Waits, My Chemical Romance, Stevie Wonder, Dave Matthews Band, OutKast, MUSE, Pearl Jam, Black Eyed Peas, Bush, Linkin Park. . .
The types of genres that peak my interest are action, comedy, psychological/ suspense thrillers, comic book movies, and documentaries
As far as specific movies go, Animal House and Blues Brothers are tied for my favorite. Some of my other favorites are The View Askew Trilogy (Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) minus Chasing Amy. . . as well as The Matrix Trilogy. Payback, Poolhall Junkies, Nothing to Lose, Rounders, The Good Theif, Fight Club, The Departed, and Tombstone amongst many many others.

In grade school I read most of John Bellairs' books/ novels. Now a days most of my reading is done in the form of textbook reading for college courses and audio books I listen to in my car. . . I also read some magazines like Sports Illustrated, Wired, Cargo, Men's Health, and a small Punisher comic book collection. . .
My heros are people who are who they are and don't compromise for society, women, or anything in between. Those people who want to be unique, rather than blend in. Those who take pride in being an individual, and not just another face in the crowd. As far as people I've idolized I guess the list would be Slash, Scott Levy aka Raven, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Bret Hart, John Belushi, Bill Maher, and Walter Payton.
