Sports journalism, American politics, abstract art, collections (of things, not credit departments).
Music
Truly I listen to it all. Thank god for Limewire. Right now I like the new Kanye, The old Kanye, The Alchemist, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Green Day, NWA, Jessica Yates (she's going to blow up real soon...word!), Eminem, A Tribe Called Quest, Anything by Prince, Old school Michael Jackson (Off the Wall and Thriller), Jay Z, Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples, The Roots, Jadakiss, Sublime (Lakeland!), Miles Davis, Dave Brubek, Run DMC, Old School LL, Gwen Stefani, System of a Down, 311. People really don't know about Swollen Members (Representing Toronto!), Robert Randolph or that new DJoey stuff that's dropping soon. And when I go old school, I go real old, like Sinatra, Dean Martin, Frankie Valli. I love the 60's soul sound like Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, even Smokey Robinson's old tired ass. All the live local acts, I listen to everything man, I've filled one 40G iPod and about 2/3rds filled with another. Nothing gets past me...Nothing.
Movies
The Shawshank Redemption, Primary Colors, Clockwork Orange, The Naked Gun, Pretty much any Eddie Murphy flick from the 80s, The Wood, Friday, Any Given Sunday, Hotel Rwanda, Clerks (the only Kevin Smith film worth a damn), Super Troopers (Shenanigans!)
Television
The Simpsons, The Family Guy, The Daily Show, Sportscenter, CNN's The Situation Room, Anderson Cooper 360, To Catch a Thief, Entourage, Monday Night Football, HBO's Primetime Boxing. Reruns of 90210 and Melrose Place.
Books
Right Now I'm reading "How to be like Coach John Wooden" by Pat Williams. Otherwise I like any of Al Franken's books, anything by the 20th century elite intellects (Capote, Mailer, Vidal, etc.). I also read a lot about finances, investments, real estate and the such. My job doesn't give me too much time to read but I have about 50 audio books on my iPod.
Heroes
My Dad, John Kennedy, Taryn Fielder, Robert Kennedy, Cornel West, Jim Brown, John Thompson.
About me: I'm a journalist living in Central Florida enjoying the sun and abnormally hot weather (yeah Global warming doesn't exist right?). I'm down with a lot of the normal things like music, sports, movies, art history, people's obsession with pop culture and all things Brangelina. I love the occasional ounce of Grey Goose, it's good for my writing.
I thought of you when I caught up with the first episode on Tivo. You're so right about the D-listers (if that!). What really gets me, is how they blame the women for everything. I want to see a show with men who need to dramatically change themselves to become lovable.
i know i've been so busy with work and figuring life out up here...i'm doing really well and am really happy...i hope your doing well and if i ever make it back down to st pete i'll be sure to let you know...hope all is well
This is our first National Commercial we Produced. I have great honor in working on . I have worked with some very dedicated people that put their heart into keep our children safe from these sex offenders. Please do me the honor by re posting this ...Commercial. Thank you Jered
Uh sorry I will be in FL no where next to pinellas. Doing the Miami thing this round. I've actually never been to Miami. I will be in Tampa soon enough. I have to catch that FL sun a few times during the summer!
3" of snow per hour with 50 mph winds and a -11 temp outside is not the same as a thunderstorm. The problem is getting stuff out from under all the snow... which is falling AGAIN as I type.

Thank you Jered
