I have a lot of hobbies like working out my brain (books, and college) my body (weight training, swiming, and martial arts), Jamming and practicing the bass, DESECRATE, concerts (the ones I play and the ones were I watch others play) pretty much anything and everything having to do with Metal!!!!! Paintballing, some snow boarding/skiing (i love snow), rock climbing, rollercoaster’s (adrenaline in general really), creating and designing art from my imagination or for someone else’s using graphite, charcoal, pastels, acrylics, and colored markers and pencils. Parties (big fan of the jager, SoCo, carona and new castel = good memories), astronomy/cosmology, philosophy, video/computer games, warhammer (i know, im a dork) and of course sex, sleep, and food. I think however my favorite pass time of all is having a good time with friends and hearing and debating new points of views, and most importantly learning from them.
Old Friends, Metal Heads, Desecrate Fans, Musicians, Artists, all of my heroes (even the dead ones) the Ladies, of course, and anyone with some love and a sence of humor.

I've come to the conclution that there is no form of music that hate, everything has SOMETHING to offer, but there are three things that i can't fucking stand: 1 the same thing over and over again (that goes for the music and the lyrics), crapy tonality, or a really whiny voice, and last but not least when there is no talent involved (aka the horid business side of music)
The Big Labousky, Detroit Rock City, Airheads, This Is Spinal Tap, both Wayne's Worlds, super troopers, the Punisher, Pulp Fiction, Requiem for a Dream, the Pianist, Screwed, Dirty Work, both Bill and Teds, Army of Darkness, both evil deads, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Back To The Future 1 and 2, They Live, Constantine, Identity, Jay and Silent Bob strike back, Star Wars, Dumb and Dumber, Old School, Spaceballs, Sleepy Hollow, all Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Matrix trilogy, almost everything from Monty Python; HOLY GRAIL!!, Pink Floyd the wall (on drugs), most 007 James Bond movies, Minority Report, Ace Ventura 1 & 2, Silence of the lambs, Starship Troopers, Fear and Loathing in Las Vagues, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Crank, Star Trek 2, 6, and First Contact, Dawn of the Dead (new), Ong Bak, Kill Bill, Con Air, Forest Gump, Boondock Saints, Fight Club, American History X, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (new), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest, all the Batman's, Indiana Jones, exsersist... almost everything. My favorite types would have to be comedies, epic movies, and movies that screw with your head. the only thing i cant stand is chick flicks...most of the time : )

The wounderful thing about books is being able learn and pick what you like from tons of other peoples points of views. As for magazines: bass player, guitar world, white dwarf, and the economist.
