The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Reality can be very interesting. When I'm bored at school I often ponder the fundamental nature of reality and its effect on fuzzy blue things that go squeek when you insult them...but philosophy is boring so just ignore that part.
Music
While I enjoy all categories of music, I am most at home with Metal, oldschool high energy punk rock, and classical music.
Some of my favorites are: The Original Star Wars Trilogy, The Matrix, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Office Space, Revenge of the Nerds, Dragonheart, Tron, Dogma, 3:10 to Yuma, The Illusionist, Iron Man, and The Cell.

Television
House, Mythbusters, Doctor Who.
Other than that, I read.
Books
I mainly like science fiction. Anything that conveys mind-altering ideas in a way that will keep me interested.
Books about electronics, politics, physics, philosophy, and religion are good.
I demand that you read these books right now: Fahrenheit 451 1984 The Demon Haunted World The Risen Empire Ishmeal
Terry Pratchett's Discworld series
Heroes
I could say something like "Heroes are overrated," but that's overrated.
"We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements -- transportation, communications, and all other industries; agriculture, medicine, education, entertainment, protecting the environment; and even the key democratic institution of voting -- profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces."

wow it is long :) i like it long, but i guess it depends on what you want. my hair is growing out and i'm not sure whether to let it grow or chop it off again :/
why do you want to shave your head? that's a bit drastic :) have you ever done that before?
