Pretty much anything from the late '50s up to today. I have fairly eclectic tastes running the gamut from Steve Winwood to Beck, from Elton John to John Mayer, and from Chicago and Electric Light Orchestra to AC/DC and the Eagles. I also like movie music, specifically the orchestral scores and composers like John Williams and Danny Elfman.

Movies
The Star Wars Saga, the Indiana Jones and Back To the Future Trilogies, the Lord of the Rings, and nearly anything Schwarzenegger made in the 80s. I'm a big fan of Quentin Tarantino's, Robert Rodriguez's, and Luc Besson's films, as well. My favorite comedies include Groundhog Day, Trading Places (and basically anything Eddie Murphy did between 1982 and 1989), Old School, Tommy Boy, EuroTrip, and Waiting....

Heroes
My real heroes are my mom and big brother - without them, I wouldn't be here. My fictional heroes remain Superman - who inspires people to be better than they are, the Batman - who despite being the most feared figure around, deep down is still just a small boy mourning his parents' deaths, Spider-Man - who has always shown us that with great power comes great responsibility, and last, but not least , the Hulk - who is an unstoppable monster and yet at the same, an incredible hero.

About me: Well, if it's one thing I hate to do it's writing or talking about myself...not. Yet, as I type away, I'm finding it difficult to think of what to say. How can you define who you are in a small box on MySpace. I've been writing for years now, and I've put many words down on many pages. I still think I have that "Great American Novel" in my head, I just have to be brave enough and quit being lazy to do it. So, it might happen, and it might not. We'll see. I'm in a transitional period in my life...unfortunately, it's lasted for five years. You'd think a person would've transitioned by now, but let me reiterate, I'm lazy. Yet, I'm not just lazy. I finally quit lying, which took a real concerted effort on my part, I don't mind saying. It feels good to be honest for once, but jeez, it's tough. It may feel good to tell the truth, but it was a lot easier being dishonest. Hobbies? I like to read a good book, be it a novel or non-fiction. I love conspiracies, although I don't really subscribe to any of them, and I love cryptozoology. I'm fairly willing to believe in anything until it's disproven. My greatest ability, I think, is to make people laugh, although I'm sure some people reading this may think I'm not very funny. That's okay because people's opinions really don't matter to me. Then again, why do I have a MySpace page and why am I writing this "mission statement" about my life? Man, this has become way too complicated and difficult. As you'll recall, I'm lazy.
