Films, Comic Books, Anime/Manga, the fairer sex (i'm a guy, sue me), rock tunes, and polictics (ask anyone I went to school with). I wouldn't mind trying to cosplay but I have no talent for sewing, but if anyone needs a normal size guy part (I prefer not to cross dress cause I would make one horrible woman) I'd be go for it. Writing and finding someone to bounce ideas off of either over the net or in person. I would like to find someone who would like to draw a web comic or do a action filled 22 page comic book with me that we could submit to Dark Horse to see if they'd publish it.

Vaughn, Grant Morrison, I wish I could've met the late great Robert Altman, and others who are interesting people, I'd even like to talk to Osama, Saddam, and Charles Manson.

Various Metal Bands (like Slipknot, System of a Down, and Mudvayne), Punk Bands (Green Day, Sex Pistols, Clash, Ramones, Pennywise, Bad Religion, The Descendents), Alt. Rock groups that catch my ear, Some "Olides" (Springsteen, Dylan, Seeger, etc.), and Some J-Rock bands like L'Arc En Ciel and Dir En Grey and the Pillows. There are a lot more bands but a lot of the time I hear a song and have no idea who the band is.
