I enjoy meeting anyone who inspires me to write, draw, create, learn, or just talk sports with. Anyone who is a positive individual. I don't want to meet you if you're going to depress me or complain about something that is trivial. That said...

I like lots of different music. Too eclectic to get into. But as a dad, my kids say my musical taste is tragically uncool, so I won't even bother to try to appear cool here.
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Jaws,
Star Wars movies, Pulp Fiction, Goonies, Karate Kid, Bad News Bears (1st one), T2, Aliens, My Cousin Vinnie, Rocky (first 2), Wedding Crashers, Indiana Jones movies, Martial Arts flicks (esp. Bruce Lee), Shaun of the Dead, action movies, Stand By Me, Harry Potter movies, Superbad, The Sandlot, most Pixar movies, most Bill Murray flicks(Stripes, Ghostbusters), goofy monster movies (8-Legged Freaks, Anacondas, Surface), Superhero movies, anything with Time Travel, Monsters, Vampires (Underworld, Lost Boys) or Dinosaurs will get a look & too many others to name. Oscar worthy Meryl Streep type movies aren't my thing. Though a romantic comedy with the wife is cool.

ESPN, House, Food Channel, UFC fights, Discovery Channel, Survival / Martial Arts shows, .., and of course some Disney Channel and cartoons with the kids. And some for me (Family Guy).
I'm trying to write more myself instead of reading everyone else's writing... The last two books I read were about Darth Bane from Star Wars and they were excellent. I've also read CELL, by Stephen King. Jurassic Canyon, by Douglas Preston... both were okay... not great. Also have read, Natural Selection, Second Genesis, Sleeper Cell and NEXT, by Michael Crichton. On occassion will read Clive Cussler (Dirk Pitt novels), Dean Koontz (though not lately), Ray Bradbury, Harry Potter books (Yes, I'm immature), and I try to keep up with some other kid/teen stuff occassionally to help me write what I write. I will also read an occassional comic... especially if I know the writer or artist. But most comics are either too serious or just plain ridiculous. Not fun, basically.
