Writing, reading, bass, piano, drinking, driving, music, movies, NFL and Fantasy football, meeting [read: observing] people / socializing [on my own terms, if possible], expanding my interests and knowledge / learning about new things, sleeping - god, I love sleep, watching "extreme" sports (but definitely not participating - once I hit the awkward, clumsy phase, it never passed), inner reflection, and pissing people off by just being me and doing well.

Movies
Tim Burton films, Johnny Depp movies, Dario Argento, H.G. Lewis, horror movies, Monty Python, anime, some B movies, some sci-fi, comedy that doesn't try too hard - I just love movies.
Television
I don't watch TV regularly enough to keep up with any series. I've got too many other things to do, goddamit! I can't afford cable/satellite. I bought those little converter boxes, just in case I ever have a moment to spare. But honestly, I'd just rather read or pop in a movie.
I've traded it all in for the warm and inviting glow of the computer monitor instead. Haha! MYSPACE IS INTERNET CRACK!!!
Books
How about authors instead? Hunter S. Thompson. Edgar Allen Poe, Ray Bradbury, Clive Barker, Kurt Vonnegut.... There's so many. I really just love to read. One day, I'll write several of my own so people can put me in their Myspace "Books" section.

Who I'd like to meet: Surf, rockabilly/ psychobilly, punk rock (old-school style and hardcore), and rock 'n' roll bands in and around New Orleans who'd like help getting booked and/or promoted; or, out-of-towners who'd like to play here. We need to get our scene back, and I'm tired of waiting for someone else to do it. I'd also like to try to get something going in Picayune, where I've ended up; so, bands in and around that area as well. People that are willing and able to help me meet my goal of bringing good music back to these cities, and local artists into the spotlight. Venues who want to play host to these musicians. Other (more experienced and better-connected) promoters who want to show me the ropes. Record labels and distribution companies. Street team and flyer designer volunteers.
Additionally, Mike Patton, Tim Burton, H.R. Giger, Jello Biafra, Johnny Depp, HST, "God", Peyton Manning, J.P.Witkin, Ralph Steadman... There are so many artists of different mediums worth mentioning here, that I think I'll just leave it at that.
