Concerts are fine, if I really like the artist(s) but when you've been playing music for a living for 25 years, music isn't really a priority in your private life.
I enjoy going to the area pro-sports teams and have been to several games for each team, The Bucs, The Devil Rays, The Lightning and The Storm.
Music
Like I said, I've been playing music for a living for 25 years. It's nothing more than a business tool for me.

Diverse enough list? I'm a movie lover and my tastes are all over the road. I have way too many favorites to mention.
Television
I work at night and have for the last 17 years. I don't get to see prime time television. TV, for me, is for watching DVDs. When I get home from work, I put on something on one of the HBOs or Showtimes.
I do make time on Sunday to watch South Park and Penn and Teller's Bullshit when they are in new episodes.
Books
I love to read but I haven't really read any recent books. Any books I buy are usually non-fiction and I purchased them for a specific purpose.
Most of my reading comes from reading The St. Petersburg Times, daily. I've been a subscriber to Entertainment Weekly since its inception.
I also read a lot of stuff on-line, each day.
Heroes
I'm pretty self-centered. I don't really have anyone I "look up to" as a "hero." At best, I see someone who has achieved greatness in one way or another, and would consider them an interesting peer to have in my accquaintance.

About me: Well, I created this account just to get my name in the end credits of "Clerks II."
I've began expanding my page from the promptings of my former friend and co-worker, Harley. It's a work in progress and the progress is slow but I do add stuff now and then. Check out that cool "The Watchmen" trailer and count-down clock!
I should have time to add to the page, now, because I'm no longer the night time DJ at a strip club in Largo, Florida, called Showgirls.
After staying with them through the last year's worth of turmoil and business decline, they decided to let me, along with two other long time employees, go. Coincidently, all three of us were honest about looking for new jobs, outside the industry, since we were not making a decent income any longer and did not desire to stay in the strip club business.
I do have a few oars in the water and should have a new job in about a month at one of my prospects. So don't worry about me. Christmas beer tasting might just need some donations instead of it being my gift to my friends this year.
Speaking of beer... I just found a cool website that allows one to buy someone a beer online. Literally. You just go to the website and and it's $5.00 to buy someone a beer and have a gift certificate to many locations, nationwide, sent to them to get a free beer.
Why am I pandering for them? Why because I can put a link, right here and have YOU buy me a beer if you so desire.
I figure since that evil scrooge, Harley, decided that it would be cool to take what was already going to be a slim Christmas and turn it into and absolutely devastating Christmas for my family, the least my friends can do is buy me a beer. I'll do the same in return, once I'm no longer unemployeed.
Now, here's something amazing. I just wish I could make a few bucks from it. Check out Walt Disney World's latest promotion:
If I were a character on The Simpsons, I'd look like this:
Who I'd like to meet: Kevin Smith... Well, I've seen him at a Q&A but I'd really like to sit down and play some poker with him and others from the View Askew family.
Check out this clip... The Watchmen was a limited run comic book from the mid-1980s that most of you have never heard of.
Now, please, in March, make sure you see this movie so it doesn't become the best movie no one saw based on a comic book no one ever heard of.
