Hiking, Alaska, Birdwatching (i'm in the closet about that though), And the usual threesome for many gay men: Art, Film and Theater. (Although I hate films about theater. What's that about?), archeology, history. I have a house in Santa Fe but live most of the year in New York. I'm pretty curious and adventurous: I've gone rafting down the Copper River in Alaska and also have braved performance art in Soho.
Total hotties with big muscles...oops, sorry wrong website!
The Psychedelic Furs, Modern English, Depeche Mode and especially Bronski Beat all those eighties new wave type bands. Then I love weirdo things: The soundtrack to Fahrenheit 452 by Bernard Herrman, Native American music, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, Madonna, Coldplay etc. Basically, I'm a homo who'd rather listen to pop music than go to the opera.
The Birds, All About Eve, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Galaxy Quest, The Lord of the Rings films, Preston Sturges comedies, Jaws, Rear Window and more that i'll add later.
Yes, I watch it.

It makes you laugh, it makes you horny, it makes you want to fish for salmon." .. Armistead Maupin, TALES OF THE CITY..Selfish and Perverse is witty and hilarious, full of surprising twists, laugh-out-loud observations I wish I were smart enough to have made, and a whole lot of swarthy Alaskan fishermen. Who'd have guessed salmon could be so sexy?.. --Stephen McCauley, author of THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION AND ALTERNATIVES TO SEX"Who is this 'Bob Smith' and why is he reluctant to use his real name? He should be proud, because SELFISH AND PERVERSE is a fantastically entertaining book. Something this funny has no right to also be this beautifully written." -- David Rakoff, author of DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE..Selfish and Perverse is very funny yet ineffably bittersweet, razor sharp yet fair to all. Bob Smith's highly quotable comic metaphors are also poetry." -- Mark O..Donnell, author of Getting Over Homer"Bob Smith fills his book with the kind of witty, insightful observations that inspire readers to repeat their favorite lines to their friends and inspire other writers to contemplate suicide. He has also accomplished the seemingly impossible task of writing a sexy book about fishing." -- Marc Acito, author of HOW I PAID FOR COLLEGE: A NOVEL OF SEX, THEFT, FRIENDSHIP AND MUSICAL THEATER
Marsden Hartley, Oscar Wilde and anyone fighting the Bush's environmental policies. Especially every congressman and Senator who voted against drilling in Alaska!
