Knifemaking, shooting and pretty much anything in direct conflict with my girly wrists and killer legs. Recent obsession is MMA, yet another hobby likely to get me maimed.
Chuck D, Eddie Najera, The Beardless Gordon Keith, Farrakhan, Eugene Stoner, Geno Petralli, Michael Newdow and The Greenskeepers...
U2's at the top followed closely by the Peppers. Franz Ferdinand and Coldplay are my guilty (or gaylty) pleasures. Listen to Big Bill Broonzy. Woody Guthrie is good workin' music. Leadbelly's fun for roadtrips. Hank Williams Sr. for everything else. Also: The Black Angels, Wolfmother, Arctic Monkeys, Led Zeppelin, Interpol, The Sundays, Trail of Dead, The Cure, Bob Dylan, and Cat Stevens.
Fight Club, Memento, Gosford Park, The Prestige and Hero. 40 Year-Old Virgin's final scene about killed me.
The Shield, Deadwood, Arrested Development and anything MMA related. I'm required to like The Simpsons according to my demographic. I love baseball but can't sit through nine innings anymore. Football's a second love but I can watch the whole game. Fairweather NBA fan; I can only watch Mavs/Spurs games in hopes that Manu gets dunked on so hard his neck snaps, hopefully by some spare UFA.
The last ones I really enjoyed were "Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World" by A.J. Jacobs and "The Orientalist" by Tom Reiss. Currently reading "Guns, Germs & Steel: by Jared Diamond. Reads like a textbook, tastes like a textbook, but durned enthralling nonetheless. I like magazines but subconsciously hate subscriptions. My faith requires me to pay retail...
Mr. Smith, Dickie Thon, Redford White, The Snake, Crispin Glover and Our Lord and Savior...Jeezie Chreezie.
