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. If you don't know what sport each of those teams play, my friend, Harley, says you can't be a man.
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 begun expanding my page from the promptings of my friend and co-worker, Harley.
I'm the night time DJ at a strip club in Largo, Florida, called Showgirls. I don't need to say anything more because you decided if you like me or consider me a criminal just from reading the last sentence.
Now to narrow the people who like me down even further, let me just say I'm a Republican. I give President George W. Bush my total backing and support. I don't take the non-commital stand and say I support "the troops." Well, of course I do. I also support my country's war on terror 100%.
I agree with Rudy Giuliani: I'll be satisfied that the war is over when I'm positive there is not a single person alive, in the middle east, who has a strong desire to come to the United States and kill people.
And, in my opinion, if that means every damn one of them, so be it.
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.
Rudy Giuliani... Spoke to him at St. Petersburg High, during his first presidential campaign rally. I doubt he remembers me but I'm going to be backing him 100% in the primary for the 2008 election. I kept to my word and voted for him in our primary, despite his falling numbers in the polls. The fact that he fell from front-runner to also-ran, so fast, is something that absolutely terrifies me about the minds of the masses in this country.
Howard Stern and Steve Dahl, at the same time. I'd like to moderate a face to face confrontation between the two of them. Howard stole everything he does from Steve Dahl. They were in Detroit at the same time and that's where Howard claims he created his current on-air persona. More like, he listened to his competition and when Steve went to Chicago and Howard to Washington, DC, Howard started doing what Steve was doing on the air. Then, Howard hit New York and got David Letterman's attention and the rest is history. Steve's still plugging away in Chicago, Howard is known nation-wide. Kind of shitty, when you realize who really created what Howard Stern is known for.
