Movies
i usually find myself making fun of more movies than i actually enjoy. but while i'm making fun of the movie i enjoy the moment. so in essence, i guess you could say that i really am enjoying the movie. out of the movies that i enjoy w/o making fun of them: i like movies that make you think or play w/ your mind. plot twists are awesome. i love movies w/ a lot of symbolism. epic movies are great too. i hate sex in movies... yeah, keep in the bedroom, not on my tv. horror movies are stupid. i enjoy "tasteful" comedies. well done action movies (as in the movie actually involving a plot).... just b/c you make every car on a street explode does not mean you made a good movie. but a lot of times, i'd rather read a book or go for a walk instead of watch a movie.
Television
24, ghost in the shell: stand alone complex, samauri shamploo, old school looney tunes, nhl games... uhhhhhh.... tv sux.
Books
uhh... the Bible for starters. 21 irrefutable laws of leadership, today matters, the purpose driven church, the purose driven life, the screwtape letters, mere christianity, how to win friends and influence people, leadership 101, the 7 habits of highly effective people, developing the leaders around you, becoming a person of influence, the winning attitude, the case for Christ, the case for faith, quite possibly the worst written book i've ever read... natural cures they don't want you to know about, wild at heart, velvet elvis, blue like jazz
Heroes
Jesus for saving my life, my pastor for keeping me out of prison and challenging me to do something w/ my future.
