Music
See... where do I start? Lol.
I'm a HUGE music and theatre geek. HUGE. And I like any kind of good music that either has great vocals or a good beat to it. Pop, R&B, classic stuff, showtunes, country, some rap, rock, metal... I love it all at different times of the day.
I don't really respect the stuff that deals with nonsensical violence and all that crap... NOT TO SAY that angry music doesn't have a place in my heart haha. Great examples of bad ass good music are Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Disturbed, Timbaland, and anyone else who can make me tap my toes or just impress me.
My biggest heroes are *N'SYNC, Michael Buble, and Jason Mraz... and if you wanna see what I'm talking about, check them out in the videos below ;-) You'll see what I mean. :-D

However, one of the greatest actors of our time who sadly went too soon and reprised one of my favorite charecters from my favorite comic book source before his death in the best way ever thought possible. He finally brought the perfect amount of chaos to the role unlike failing predecessors.
Heath Ledger. BR>
And of course (I don't know why I didn't have him on this list before his death) The King of Pop. Who if it weren't for him the world would not be as good and music would not be where it is. He is the grandfather of my heroes.
Michael Joseph Jackson.
The list goes on I suppose. However... my original hero... who could sing, dance, act, fight crime, get the girl, and win oscars and grammys for doing the preceding things is:
Aladdin. Yeah. He's the Original Gangsta in my book. :-D
