Live music, spending time with friends and loved ones, being able to enjoy life. Reading, concerts, traveling, telling stories and making people laugh!!!!
Friends...all kinds, but I do have high expectations. ALL of my friends are family to me.
Alternative Rock mainly, but I can handle almost anything except "women bashing" Rap...Some of the CD's I listen to are: Bascom Hill (they are amazing), Blue October, Skindred, Bowling for Soup (local boys make good)and I think I have all of their CD's, Seether, Amy Lee,3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Matchbox 20 (and Rob Thomas), Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, (hate to say it, but) Bon Jovi, Chantal Kreviazuk (beautiful voice), DAVE GRUHL (everything he has done), Foo Fighters, Stained (I was in the PIT at the Fall Brawl!!!!! Good Times), Goo Goo Dolls, Supercell and now Miser, as well as Supercell's Lead singer Jason Wheelington (what a voice), POD, Rascal Flats, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw (mostly his duets with his wife), Shania Twain, Third Eye Blind, OZZY!!!!, I love the Daredevil soundtrack, Fuel, NIN, and recently started listening to Flyleaf (yet another local group making it). I do my best to be extra supportive of the "local" bands as well as actors (SO, TO GET OFF THE MUSIC FOR A SECOND...I MET LUKE WILSON ON MYSPACE AND HE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM SOME OF HIS LOCAL FANS, HELL HE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM ALL OF HIS FANS, SO LOOK HIM UP AND TALK TO HIM, HE IS STILL A "GOOD 'OL BOY"). (Now, back to music) There are sooooooooo many more groups / bands I love, but thought this covered the "basics" to show how diverse my taste are...so I am happy as hell just to listen to music. And even though I'm 33 I love a wonderful LIVE SHOW. Rock ON!
I like ALL kinds of movies so this is a hard one. I have a very broad range of movie likes. Just off the top of my head, here's what comes to mind: Crash, Remember Me, Walk the Line, Sweet Home Alabama, Vertical Limit, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, Beyond Boarders, White Noise, The Big Bounce, While You Were Sleeping, Home Fries, Birth, The Ring (the first one), The Notebook, Hitch, The Life Aquatica, The Pacifier, Hostage, The Incredibles, DOGMA!!!!, Monster, The Punisher, Closer, both of the Father of the Bride's, Paparazzi, The Day After Tomorrow, Almost Heroes, Eight Men Out, Fallen, K-Pax, L. A. Confidential, both Shrek's, Black Hawk Down, Dead Poets Society, Gattaca, Kuffs, Philadelphia, Wag the Dog, The Interpreter, Robots, Stealth, Ladder 49, Both Bridget Jones', Secret Window, Pirates of the Caribbean, Taking Lives, Phone Both, Evolution, Moulan Rouge, Mr and Mrs Smith, MIB (the first one), Constantine, Little Black Book, Life or Something Like it (personal reasons), Hotel Rowanda, The Rundown (Cracked me up!!), Million Dollar Baby, Guess Who, The Green Mile, S.W.A.T, Pitch Black, Road Trip, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers...I wouldn't say that ALL of those are exactly my "favorites" however all the ones I've listed are movies that either touched me during a time in my life or just cracked my happy ass up! There are actually a lot more that I didn't list...crazy, huh! Now, if you have never seen: K-Pax, The Green Mile, Hotel Rowanda, Crash, Beyond Boarders, The Notebook, Dogma, Evolution, or Black Hawk Down...you really should, those are honestly in the top 10 for me!!!!!!
