Music:

mixed tastes. Here are a few that come to mind: Stevie Nicks, Madonna, Bob Marley, Beatles, Beastie Boys, Pharcyde, Snoop, Frank Zappa, Eno, Eminem, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, GNR, Motown and Disco, Classical, lots of Blues, I can appreciate Jazz, trance, world, old stuff going back to the 40's, best of classic metal/rock, rap going way back, anything I can unwind to on the dancefloor... I could go on forever... I just don't like 98% of the pop stuff out there now. And the 2% I can handle, gets overplayed.

Movies:

Lots...

Television:

the best of reality, South Park, The Daily Show, biographies, weather, History Channel, the office, Colbert Report, discovery channel (and similar). And, I keep up online through carefully selected sources.

Books:

love/hate relationship with them. I love exposing myself to new artistic/creative ideas, but find reading them wastes a lot of my time to create. If I could take a few months off to read, I would delve into Shakespeare again, Dante, various philosophy, POETRY, Anne Rice, lots of how-to's (languages, computer stuff, outdoor things, shamanism, cooking, etc.). I would have to read Frankenstein again, and maybe Nicholas and Alexandra. Anything by Terence Mckenna, the wizard. I've read lots of history books :)I would also like to write several books...

Heroes:

Ghandi, Eugene Tsui, Ron Paul, and many more.
