Cycling, cooking, grilling, music, video games, computers, photography, movies, anime.
People who can take an honest look at themselves, the world, and how they fit in it.
Anything that's somewhat unique and not too repetitive. And not country.
The Shawshank Redemption, Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, anything by Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, etc.), The Godfather, lots of others. I love Netflix.
Good Eats, Mythbusters, Law and Order, Adult Swim, The Daily Show, The Simpsons, Family Guy
Anything by Ray Bradbury, especially The Martian Chronicles. I don't read as much as I should.
