I order you to all go see this:
I'd like to meet:
hockey fans, husker haters, sci-fi geeks, fellow travelers, people who think Hilary Clinton and her ilk are more dangerous to this country than a disappointing so-called conservative that now sits in office, and the Pope.
Music:
Where do I even start? My tastes really run the gamut. The classics, of course (Floyd, Zeppelin, etc.), newer rock (Tool). King's X remains a personal favorite, and has been for years. Also a big Bruce Springsteen fan, his politics notwithstanding.
If you're looking for a great album that showcases songwriting, I highly recommend Keith Caputo's "Died Laughing" - a truly wonderful listening experience.
It's probably easier to give a general listing of styles of music I DON'T like - top of that list would be hardcore rap, death metal, and most country music. Not a big reggae/world beat music fan either.Here's a few of my favorites at the moment:
Movies:
Star Wars (all of them), any Eastwood western, particularly "High Plains Drifter" and "The Outlaw Josey Wales", Planet Of The Apes (1968, Charlton Heston - nope, no Marky Mark here)and all it's sequels, "True Grit", I'll have to add to this list as I go... and now, to lend support until it's release:
Television:
Chances are, if it's on TV, I'm gonna watch it. Occupational hazzard. Can't-Miss shows? OK...24, House, Lost, Survivor, CSI, Battlestar Galactica (the new version - best show on TV if you've not seen it) Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. "Deadliest Catch" gives me new appreciation for the cost of crab. Also love "American Chopper" and "Dirty Jobs". "Deadwood" is fairly entertaining, as was the brilliant, pre-maturely cancelled "Carnivale." "The Sopranos" is another favorite. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Robot Chicken are 2 of the finest on Adult Swim.
Also a big fan of M*A*S*H, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K), Kung Fu, The Prisoner (awesome Brit SciFi from the 60's - check it out!)Glenn Beck's new show on CNN Headline News is hysterical, if you're into that sort of thing. Give it just one chance..if you don't like, ignore me. If you like, thank me!And, how could I forget? (thanks, BJM) - The Young Ones!

Books:
Anything by Kurt Vonnegut - the Mark Twain of our times. If you've never read any of his stuff, by all means, go get "Slaughterhouse Five."Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" and "The Enemy Within."
Heroes:
My dad - he worked his fingers to the bone providing his family with EVERYTHING we ever needed, and most of what we wanted. He taught me the value of a dollar, and how to make an honest living. I owe the kind of person I am to the way he and my mother raised me, and for that, I'll always be grateful.
