Music
I love the local music here in South Texas! (In no particular order)
Lil Bit and the Customatics
Sean Castillo and the Hubcaps
The Copy Cat Trio
Spank Sinatra
Chadd Thomas and the Crazy Kings
Two Tons of Steel
Keith Magel, The Texas Pianoman
If I had to take one band/artist's music with me to a deserted island, it'd be They Might Be Giants. Especially the early stuff.
Movies
Movies would be better if people learned how to shut the hell up and have some common courtesy.
Television
The Simpsons. The Family Guy. Leave it to Beaver.
Books
Old favorites that I go back to now and then are The Hobbit, LotR, Catcher in the Rye, Stephen King, ghost stories, first-hand accounts of Vietnam or WW2. I also love maps. I have ever since I can remember.
Heroes
Jim Holloway, Edward Gorey, Don Martin, Louis Prima, Rodney Dangerfield, JRR Tolkien, Sailor Jerry, Gil Elvgren, Albert Vargas, Larry Elmore, Tony DiTerlizzi, Jimmy Vincent, Hanuman...
And of course, my folks. Each for their own special reason.

About me: I'm a huge dork. A romantic fool who lives to dance and draw, and make people laugh. I extort pixels for their lunch money all day long, then spend nights and weekends drawing kooky characters or rubbing noses with the wonderful Miss Jessica, scourge of the South Plains!
I say what I mean and I mean what I say and if I'm asked a question, I'll dish it out straight. Some people can't fathom that, but really, it saves so much time. Someone once told me "Don't ask questions that you don't want to hear the answers to." It sucked at the time (she was dumping me), but in hindsight it's absolutely sage wisdom. In general, if you like me, superb! If not, I guarantee that I don't spend the slimmest sliver of my time worrying about it.
Really, I just try to be a good Joe, and I love to leave 'em laughing. I yam what I yam.
And, this video pretty much sums up an average evening at the Jaybird Compound:
They wrap steaks in bacon to enhance it's flavor, they don't wrap pork chops in hamburger to make a chop taste better, therefore pork is clearly superior in deliciousness.
