Music, reading, movies, plays (I'm an input freak), exercising, traveling, meeting interesting people.....
People who can help me become a better person. Tell me how you can help.....
Rock and Roll, Powerpop, Soul, R&B. My iPod has 9,000 songs so far. I appreciate almost everything from the Beatles to the Shins, from Otis Reading to the Decembrists, from the Zombies to Fountains of Wayne. XTC are my faves who are still releasing stuff.
I avoid typical Hollywood movies like the plague. Give me an edgy movie like Shortbus or a great international flick like Babette's Feast and I'm a happy guy.
Hardly ever watch it except in the morning I watch the news and the financial headlines.
Novels, detective stories, autobiographies, history, economics....
My dad. Post-Presidential Jimmy Carter. Dr. Paul Farmer (look it up). Mother Theresa.....
