In no particular order: Christianity, literature, music, filk, science fiction, journalism, coffee, baseball, history, and a lot of other stuff to be named later.
Music
1. Filk, the music of science-fiction and fantasy fandom. (e.g.: Ookla the Mok, Urban Tapestry, Tom Smith, Seanan McGuire)
2. Alt-country, music borrowing what's best about rock, country, blues, folk, etc. (e.g.: Uncle Tupelo, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Son Volt, Jayhawks)
3. Jesus-rock of the 1970s and thereabouts (e.g.: Larry Norman, Daniel Amos, Resurrection Band, Phil Keaggy)
4. Assorted local acts (e.g.: Wales Road, Wild Geese, Devall Music, Lisa Bigwood)
5. Various performers in almost every other genre (e.g.: Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Bruce Cockburn, U2, Louis Armstrong)
Movies
Casablanca; Chinatown; O Brother Where Art Thou; Lord of the Rings; Sling Blade; The Apostle
Television
Right now, mainly "Lost." All-time favorite: "M*A*S*H."
Books
We'll be here all night if I start now, so I'll update it later. Basically, I like quality science fiction/fantasy; classic fiction; history (particularly American); and theology/spirituality/apologetics (particularly Christian).
Heroes
The Lord Jesus Christ, for countless reasons.
My parents, one of whom is still with me, one of whom I'll see again.

About me: Hello, all. It's Dave, a thirtysomethingish journalist, Christian, bibliophile, newby filker, and probably a bunch of other things. This MySpace is primarily for professional use -- I'm the arts/entertainment editor for the Daily Messenger in Canandaigua, N.Y., and MySpace enables me to better stay plugged in to the local entertainers' community. Thought it's also yet another way to keep in touch with friends and far-flung others. (My main personal online presences remain my LiveJournal, Facebook and Flickr pages.)
Random Dave facts:
1. Could live on butterbeans, taquitos, Vidalia onions and coffee. (OK, chili's a must too.)
2. Was a Red Sox fan back when that was a conscious choice to embrace existential ennui.
3. Called himself a writing major, calls himself a bibliophile, yet has never read "The Scarlet Letter."
4. Or "Moby-Dick."
5. Has a real first name that, as far as he knows, is shared by no one living.
Because we're all grownups here, the "Top 8" arrangement of friends doesn't reflect any kind of stratification of importance, etc. It's all randomized and stuff.
