FRIENDS Dani Carroll is by far my favorite female singer, signed or not. On top of that she's a really cool person. Check her profile out.
Movies
I love movies. I have hundreds in my collection. I mainly like comedies and romantic comedies. Some of my favorites are 'An American President', 'Thomas Crowne Affair', 'The Sweetest Thing', 'Van Wilder', 'Old School', 'Hitch' and anything with Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Richard Gere, Matthew Perry, Kate Hudson, Jennifer Anniston, etc.
I also like stand-up comedians like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Damon Wayans, Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Mitch Hedberg, etc.
Television
CNBC is always on while I am at work. I like no non-sense reporting without politics.
Outside of work, I like Jon Stewart, Entourage, Friends, The Bachelor, Survivor, Sex in the City, Single in the City, Andy Griffith, Sports and most programs on Bravo & MTV. I'm pretty flexible.
Books
I hardly ever have time to read. I'm too busy living it. But, I prefer autobiographies b/c those are words of people who actually lived it. But, I also like 'The MisFortune 500' and George Carlin's 'Brain Droppings'.
Heroes
My parents & nieces. In the past, I would have listed several business people; but, they always end up disappointing me once I dig a little deeper. I would also have to say that I greatly admire the Pillsbury Doughboy.
