Hmm... interesting subject, Hahahahaha. Automotive tuning, PC tweaking, reading, watching the telly(when I can), listening to music, hanging with friends, etc. Got lots of interests, just ask! I have one of the most open minds ever!!!
There's so many... where do I begin? I'll just name a few: Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Prince, John Hughes, Brian DePalma, Linda Blair, Sen. Barack OBama, Betty Nguyen, Chino XL, Mike Shinoda... I could go on but you get the picture, Ha!
Damn... this is a broad subject for me, hahaha! Well... Damn near anything 80's(fave decade). Swing Out Sister and Shakatak are groups with tremendous stayin' power. They came out of the eighties and still make music today. I love these two groups. I like the Cocteau Twins also. A lot of 80's pop/new wave such as Nu Shooz, Rick Astley, Tears for Fears, Naked Eyes, Johnny Hates Jazz... just to name a few. I luv my 80's RnB too(can't forget about that). Anita Baker, Prince(The Revolution days), Alexander O'neal, Loose Ends... just to name a few. I'm probably one of the most open-minded people you'd ever meet so I pretty much can find at least one song I like in every style of music that's out there. Linkin Park is my favorite band of today's music. All those not hip to them, I highly recommend them. As for my hip-hop(it's in my blood), I'm kinda picky. The hell with what I just said, I AM picky. I'm mainly about mid-nineties East coast hip-hop(1994-1997). I don't really care for this commercial, materialistic BS they call "Rap/Hip-Hop" nowadays. Give me Chino XL, Onyx, Kam or Mike Shinoda any day. Chino is my all-time fave! I recommend him to anyone that wants to break out of the norm/ritual of what we hear today. He's been around for years but doesn't get a third of the respect he's entitled to. Can't forget WHODINI!!! I could go on forever being that music plays such a vital role in my life but I'll stop here. Anything else as far as music, just ask!
SLASHERS!!!! Been watchin' them basically my whole life. The horror genre is my fave. Gotta be the old stuff though. The new scary movies barely gets a twitch outta me. I take that back... when I first saw "The Ring", well...we won't go into that! Hahahahahaha. My slasher/horror movie collection is nice as hell and steady growing. "Happy Birthday To Me" and "Mortuary" are among my faves. Any fellow slash heads out there want a fulfilling convo on the subject, hit me up! I love my martial arts/action movies, too! Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Bruce Lee are THE heavy hitters! I like Mark Dacascos performances too! Of course, John Hughes movies! Y'all know the ones, "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club" and "Weird Science" Although not directed by John, "Pretty in Pink" and "Some Kind of Wonderful". He wrote them though!
As far as TV goes, "Malcolm in the middle" is my favorite show. I'm still working on my "TV on DVD" collection though. "Dream On", "What's happenin'", "Beavis and Butthead", "Punky Brewster", "American Justice", "City Confidential" and "Cold Case Files" are among my faves.
Although I love to read, I don't really have a favorite book as of yet but "Men Cry In The Dark" by Michael Baisden and "Gone With The Nerd" by Vicki Lewis Thompson were very good. On the real, damn near any book can be mentally stimulating, and that's what I admire.
All time fave... SUPERMAN!! Kal-El to all of you fellow Kryptonians, HAHAHA. Robin Hood and Zorro have a special place in my heart also! Seriously, anyone who does good deeds and sacrifices themselves for the sake of others is a hero/heroine to me.
