Music
Everything but my dream is to have a classic, blues, zydeco bluegrass band. Seriously. Just listen to my music juke box here.
I do have a special place in my heart for the band in the video though. A lot of reasons including giving me the chance to work with some of the best bands ever.
I love all kinds of movies, I do reviews for Hollywood Jesus and one of the great perks is finally getting advance screenings. I have interviewed Rob Zombie, Billy Bob Thornton, Mickey Jones, and numerous others.
Television
I am a reality TV nut, I like a lot of shows from Big Brother to Hells Kitchen. I like Smallville, and a number of others as well. The following is a video I put together from the 2007 Season of Big Brother 8.
Books
I pick authors more than books, Creston Mapes, Ted Dekker, Dean Koontz, and I could name about 20 others but these are among my favs.
Heroes
I don't really have heroes, if I did I guess I would pick Tyler Graebner a little boy I worked with who had cancer. Tyler was a great model to go after the things you love. Of course I don't consider Jesus Christ my role model, I consider him my leader and forgiver.
