Listening to and creating music, any time spent with friends, reading, writing, fine films, a wide array of intoxicants, learning, loving, anything done on a board, and oh yes, a wide array of intoxicants.

Television:
I watch adult swim on Cartoon Network, the History and Discovery channels and that's about it. TV sucks.
Books:
Anything by Hunter S. Thompson, Chuck Palahuniuk and Bret Easton Ellis. Harry Fuckin' Potter, The Wheel of Time. Neil Gaiman is excellent. Dostoyevsky for my existentialism, Kerouac and Ginsberg to get on the 'Beat'. Most Steve King books are good; 'Insomniac' and 'The Rage' are two of my all-time favorites. Dean Koontz is decent. 'Doors Of Perception' by Aldous Huxley is a mind-bender. 'The Wrestler's Cruel Study' by Stephen Dobyns is insane. Tolkien books are good, Star Wars books are good. Beowulf, technically a poem, but still good. Yeah, I'm a fucking nerd.
Heroes:
All great painters, poets, playwrights, musicians, genius mathmeticians, magicians, and free thinkers around the world. Whether known wide and far or not.
