Music, movies (especially good sci-fi / horror), art, culture, counter-culture, sticking it to The Man, irony, comedy.

Like minded musicians, artists, co-conspirators, the realists and the "paranoid enough" who still get the joke and enjoy the ride for what it is.

Television:
I avoid TV like the plague. I'm not trying to sound like I'm on some old intellectual "I'm too good to watch tv" shit cuz if it's on, I'll watch it even if I think it's crap. That's why I never turn the TV on except to play Playstation or watch DVDs. Given the choice though, the headlights this buck would choose to be stuck in would be...
The Dave Chappelle Show, The Boondocks, The Chris Rock Show, Carnivale, The Simpsons, Bill Maher's Show (Whatever it's called these days.), Deadwood, Six Feet Under
For now it's Grand Theft Auto and Netflix.
Books:
White Teeth by Zadie Smith, Armor by John Steakley, Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra, Antything by Milan Kundera or Kurt Vonnegut, Rules for Radicals by Saul D. Alinsky, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, Autobiography of Malcolm X, those books whose characters are so vivid that you're almost sad when you finish them because those people kind of just vanish all but in your memory
