MUSIC: I love and live music and Art. If all art and music were to disappear from existence I believe I would too.
here's my newest obsession:
Music
I cannot even begin to list artists that I respect. I have varied taste in music that ranges from Indie Rock/Punk to Jazz/Classical. I guess if I had to pick my favorite genre it would have to be Indie Rock. I am averse to the "Majors" ( Major labels that put out cookie cutter crap and try to control all music media as to brainwash the public into believeing they actually like crap!)
KEEP INDIE ALIVE!!! BUY INDIE MUSIC!!
Books
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Hyperion ( and anything else by Dan Simmons), Anias Ninn, Kahlil Gibran, Aldous Huxley, Stephen King, Anne Rice (Pre-born again status), anything I can get into in the catagory of Philosophy, Religion, Metaphysics, Music, some Poetry, a bit of Sci-Fi and a small amount of well written dramatic fiction.
Heroes
Those who fight the mundane, those who LIVE the music, those who think for themselves instead of being led around blindly by th media.......oh yeah...and anyone with super powers ;)

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali
