Music, writing, movies, sarcasm, video games, gung-fu, pez, history, politics.
People who enjoy living every minute of life without worrying about the unnecessaries. Rock stars suck, egos are irritating. People who don't feel like they have to prove anything to anyone but themselves.

Curse you anonymous burglar who took my CD's in Five Points... curse you.
Some of the labels that I admire are:
Suburban Home Records , Still Soft Recordings , Desoto Records , and especially Asian Man Records . You should go to their websites and buy things... because they deserve it. I work for a label called Not Bad Records , and if you feel so inclined you should see if you like anything on it.
Kung fu flicks, Zombie movies, Comedies, Old Universal Monster movies, Star Wars, Star Trek, Monty Python flicks, anything with Godzilla or King Kong in it.
LOST, Home Movies, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Simpsons, Robot Chicken, Seinfeld, Arrested Development, and anything (no matter how pointless) on the History Channel.
Books about people who set out to do interesting things in their lives. Comic Books (currently reading The Walking Dead series). George Orwell's books. Politics, history, and comedy. Insights into different places around the world that I would like to travel to eventually--but for now can be content to read about.
