Watching baseball, preferably while drinking the beverages, arguing about politics and/or religion. You know, the usual interests. Because it's now summertime, the pontoon better known as the "Party Barge" is going to be a major interest that all you females need to explore. I also like to just sit around and watch my roommate, Adam, turn into "Mr. Bacardi" and down about a liter of rum in a sitting. All motor skills are sure to be lost.

"On the Road", by Kerouac is probably my favorite. "What's Wrong With Kansas", by Thomas Frank is also good. Lately, I've discovered Noam Chomsky, Diggin all his action.
I admire artists of any kind. They have the courage to take a path that is far from certain, but do it anyway. Regardless of what others may consider success, they follow their hearts.
