Music
METAL!!!! (black, doom, grind core, death - anything but cheese and hair), sludge, blues, psychobilly (traditional hillbilly rockabilly, gothabilly, punkabilly - it's in my blood - I love it all), goth, classical, hell - really anything but contemporary country and, generally, THE HARDER, THE BETTER. There's no such thing as too thick and too dirty, in my book.
I could never begin to name bands I like and have anything representative of everything I love - the best I can do is tell you what I've had in the player recently: Possessed, King Travolta, Secrets She Kept, Amon Amarth, Celtic Frost, Dissection, Lust of Decay, Wehrwolfe, Order of the Fractured Spirit, Internal Suffering, Atrocious Abnormality, Cobalt, Ouroboros, Saprogenic, Jungle Rot, Gods Iron Tooth, Husky, Lividity, Despise, Aborted, Satarial, Estuary, Behemoth, Loss, Guttural Secrete, Satanic Warmaster, Monstrosity, Aeon, Coroner, Infinited Hate, Godless Rising, Pyrexia, Spawn, Nile, Dreamscapes of the Perverse, Vesperian Sorrow, Catamenia, Teradactyl, Exulcerate, Anal Blast, Domination Through Impurity, Lecherous Nocturne, Zuckuss, Mucky Pup, Agent Orange, ANTiSEEN, Confessor, LOTS of Entombed, Sourvein, Drunk and Stoned, Dying Fetus, Emperor, Daylight Dies, Pest, Gorelord, Disincarnate, Roanoke, Grey, Kult ov Azazel, Dawn, Omnicient, The Reticent, Noothgrush, Rotting Christ, Ulver, Burning Witch, Sepultura, Eletric Wizard, Lunch, 1349, Vital Remains, DarkMoon, GWAR, Agalloch, Grave, Obituary, Carcass, Beaten Back to Pure, Akercocke, Death, Apotheosys, Unholy Crusade, Weedeater, Pungent Stench, Cannibal Corpse, Hellhammer, Big Black, Neurosis, EyeHateGod, Pillcrusher, Deicide, Fecal Corpse, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Belphegor, Godflesh, Vader, Pig, Overkill, Bongzilla, Skinny Puppy, Foetus, Balatonizer, Cathedral, Brujeria, Melvins, Dixie Witch, Kylesa, Johnny Cash, DarkThrone, and Slayer. I just re-read this list and it doesn't come close to telling you what all I live for - oh well - guess you'll have to die without knowing. *alas*
Dr. Strangelove, Metropolis, Eraserhead, Raising Arizona, Blue Velvet, Fast Times..., too many to name - all genres. Especially horror and cheezy martial arts - not so much the western.
Television
I really don't care for television. Every time I sit down to watch it, I feel guilty afterward. I know I've missed something I needed to do.
I do watch the news. I will occasionally watch Discovery, Discovery Health, Science, and History. I just don't have enough time to sit for hours, staring at a box. <--that's dripping with sarcasm, as I'm staring at a computer screen for 10+ hours a day.
I'll also watch UFC, Family Guy, and The Simpsons.
Books
E=MC2, The Plague, and Eats Shoots, and leaves.
Heroes
Anyone who has the balls to get on stage and play whatever the fuck he or she wants to. Who gives a fuck it someone else likes it, or not? If you like it, PLAY IT.

I love my Grim Russell Terrier, Jackson, and my close family and friends very much.
I'm completely obsessed with music and I primarily listen to metal. I play several instruments with vastly varying skill: bass, guitar, piano, and multiple woodwind, brass, and percussive instruments. Ahh - this one's important - I have a deep and passionate revulsion for metal with hardcore breakdowns. (With all of the metal core bands who have been adding me, I don't think you're reading this part.)
Wednesday night (from 10pm - 2am) - Metal Overdose - a balls out metal night, supporting: black, death, grind, thrash, doom, sludge, traditional - pretty much, you name it - metal!!!
Thursday night (from 10pm - 2am) - Punk and Hardcore night - an equally balls out night of old and new school punk and hardcore, supporting: Stiff Little Fingers, Minor Threat, Subhumans, Agnostic Front - meh - go check out the DIVEpunk page on my "top friends" dealy-o...

Growing up playing the music that I was FORCED to learn makes me appreciate this video, completely. One one hand, I love that I had no choice but to be a musician... on the other - FUCK RITUAL DRIVEN, OVERPLAYED, UN-ORIGINAL "POPULAR" MUSIC!! Dude - understand that if you want to sell something, make it popular with the people - on the other, how about *trying* to come up with something that's only been written 5,000 times (versus 5,000,000)!! However - look at the success of the bands who've been stealing the same riffs for 300 years... I must be wrong...
I'm really pissed off I missed that show especially since I didn't see Slaves to Addiction the night before and I don't see anything good coming soon To be honest I didn't have the $ to get out that night, it's ok I can photograph F.I.A. next time they perform. Everyone seems to be talking about Goatwhore.......
