Umm...music. Yeah, I obsess. I like to read. I work out. I spend too much time on computer games.
Musicians, artists, performers... people with some passion...
.."blue" I prefer jazz and jazzy type things, but I appreciate all music done well. I've done rock, reggae and R&B bands- and all sorts of other stuff. If you love music, let's talk about it!
I mostly do guitar, play bass when I have to, and I also teach/have taught piano, saxophone and clarinet (I was originally a sax major in college).
Escapism movies. Nothing deep. Lots of explosions, and super heroes.
Heroes. Battlestar Galactica. The Shield. My Name is Earl. The Office.
I generally read several books a week if I'm not too busy. I prefer mysteries, sci-fi and adventuring type books, but I enjoy the occasional biography to "cleanse my palate".
Comic book hero: Batman. A normal human guy obsessive enough to do just about anything.
Jazz Guitar hero: Wes Montgomery. Incredible lines and feel. Played single notes, octaves, block chords... awesome!
Jazz Guitar hero 2: Oz Noy. Check this guy out. Killer stuff.
