Music, music, music. Love to play my guitars. Sports (tennis, basketball, weightlifting). Driving (windows down, sunroof open, good tunes playing, sun shining). Car tuning (working on a sleeper civic SI, more details to come...) The BEACH: I grew up at the beach and I'm trying gradually to make my way back to living there.
I LOVE music, whether I'm listening to it, playing it, or writing it, including (but not limited to): 80's rock, Joe Satriani, pop/U2, alternative, Joshua Radin, James Blunt, Fall Out Boy, Gavin DeGraw, Al Green, Ani Difranco, The Ataris, Ben Folds, Ben Taylor, Better than Ezra, Blink-182, Bob Marley, Bon Jovi, Bowling for Soup, Brand New, Breaking Benjamin, Bryan Adams, Cake, Carly Simon, the Cars, Cat Stevens, Chris Brown, Coheed and Cambria, Coldplay,... and that's only halfway through the C's....
Caddyshack, Snatch, Legends of the Fall, The Original Kings of Comedy, When Harry Met Sally, Garden State, Big, Braveheart (before Mel Gibson went crazy), Goodfellas, Top Gun (before Tom Cruise went crazy), the Fast and the Furious (it's juvenile, I know)
the Sopranos, the Daily Show, Grey's Anatomy, Family Guy, Desperate Housewives (Eva Longoria, 'nuf said),
I'm currently reading First Aid for the USMLE Step 3 (the test I need to take before I can moonlight during my residency). Really good books: Dave Barry's Bad Habits, Shem-The House of God, Wally Lamb-I Know This Much Is True, Dostoevsky-The Brothers Karamazov.
