Reading, I will read most anything. Languages, I speak French (though not as well as I used to), a bit of German, and I am trying to learn Japanese. Japan is a big interest of mine, especially it's history and culture. Writing, drawing (though I rarely post anything...) lol Toys. I love toys. They keep me young. I have...well...damned close to 500 Star Wars figures on the surfaces of my room! I also have a few Gentle Giant Star Wars statues, busts and maquettes. I even have a few Kotobukiya vinyl figures too.
Many of the people I would like to meet have passed. It seems all of them had a poetic soul, and I find a special kinship with them. First, the man whom I was named for, John Lennon. Another, being one of John's close friends, George Harrison. There are also several ancient Japanese poets that I find wonderful, and would loved to have studied under. They are Matsuo Kinsaku (who became known as the poet, Basho), Yosa Buson, and Kobayashi Issa. All are Japanese poets from different eras. (Basho was 1644-1694, Buson 1716-1784, and Issa was 1763-1828) As for those who are still amongst the living, I can think of, but one: Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki-san is the director of my favorite anime films including: Spirited Away, Nausicaa and the Valley of the Winds and Howl's Moving Castle. His work is absolutely amazing, and moving. There isn't a film of his that I have seen that didn't make me cry. They are not normally tears of sadness or joy, but, wonderment and beauty.
The Beatles, Hot Hot Heat, Paranoid Social Club, Queen, Tool, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Pillows. It is rare for me to esteem any artist or band formed after the late sixties or early seventies.

"You'll find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." -Obi-wan KenobiObi-wan Kenobi is, I think, the greatest fictional hero out there. He was a mindful pupil, a wise mentor, a steadfast friend, and a brave hero, when it was warranted. He passed the knowledge of the lost Jedi Order onto a new Jedi, and was loyal to the point of self sacrifice.
