"You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." -- George W. Bush to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005

I'm not into country or overly technical speed metal (the kind that you have to play guitar to appreciate the intricacies of what that dude's doing right there with that axe, man). Beyond that, you name it, I probably have some in my collection. My favorite genres are 80s new wave, punk and ska, but I also like old (real) jazz, hip-hop, dance/techno/ambient, rock, classical and funk. I can't even begin to name artists I like; there's just too many. Here are a few of my favorite albums:
My tastes are fairly eclectic here too. While I go see a lot of movies and rent like a fiend, I don't buy many movies. The ones I do buy have to be the sort of thing I'd want to watch over and over and that's not something I do regularly. And to show you how little I know, I thought The Departed was only pretty good. Little Miss Sunshine was the only amazingly good movie I saw last year. My library includes: The Shawshank Redemption, Se7en, the X-Men movies, Billy Madison, Tombstone, Amelie, Sideways, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and Harvey.
Television
I watch very little these days, but all-time faves include: Mystery Science Theater 3000, Lost, Northern Exposure, The Equalizer, Kids In The Hall, The Tick (animated), Firefly, Freaks And Geeks, Police Squad, Jeff Corwin Experience, Powerpuff Girls, X-Files, and the Simpsons.
Books
I'm a Shakespeare nut, so there's a few. I also love Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King's short stories, Gideon Defoe, Douglas Adams, "The Scarlet Pimpernell," Christopher Moore, Neal Stephenson, Mark Millar, Kurt Busiek, and Joss Whedon.

About me: I don't like going to a gourmet pizza joint like Bazbeaux and getting a pizza with Pizza Hut toppings. I have an iPod, but I don't really like it. In case you're looking to invest money in the next blockbuster comic-book-to-movie property, talk to me about my Green Lantern treatment. Sudoku is fun, but I'm too dumb for anything but the easier levels...for now. Jim Rome is a perpetually constipated-sounding prick who is like the class nerd who finally busted into Pseudo-Cooldom (a la Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh) and now all the other nerds parrot his "game." Anyone who doesn't like cheese isn't worth knowing and anyone who doesn't like cake is highly suspect. If I could go back and do it all over again, I would just mess up different things so what's the point, ya know? Oh, wait. I just did. Move over, bacon! Who decided that the standard length of time for snoozing should be nine minutes? No show on TV has consistently kicked ass for as many years as The Price Is Right. What's pink and orange and flies around singing Weird Al songs? I am neither "career-driven" nor "goal-oriented" and can think of nothing more depressing than making my job the most important thing in my life. I am friend-oriented and life-driven. My job is a necessary means to an end, not the end itself.

Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person.
The Emperor is the great authority figure of the Tarot, so it represents
fathers, father-figures and employers. There is a lot of aggression and violence
too.
The Emperor naturally follows the Empress. Like an infant, he is filled with enthuiasm, energy, aggression. He is direct, guileless and all too often irresistible. Unfortunately, like a baby he can also be a tyrant. Impatient, demanding, controlling. In the best of circumstances, he signifies the leader that everyone wants to follow, sitting on a throne that indicates the solid foundation of an Empire he created, loves and rules with intelligence and enthusiasm. But that throne can also be a trap, a responsibility that has the Emperor feeling restless, bored and discontent.
