Mostly playing, mixing, producing, eating, sleeping, and breathing music. No I read too, and ps2 for now. Keep my mind fit and learn about whatever I can. Someday I'd like to do something worthwhile for mankind. Got a band now The Hidden Dangers (THD).
Music
Good music is punk rock, reggae (not reggaeton), ska, rock, metal, hip hop (not hype hop), jazz, blues, funk, classical, some bluegrass, greengrass, some emo . Check out these bands: Riverdales, NOFX, Operation Ivy, Rancid, Bob Marley, Sublime, Pinhead Gunpowder, the Network, Filibuster, Screeching Weasel, the Offspring, Wasted Youth, Groovatron, Pousto, Dead Radio, Street Brats, Suffrajett, Weezer, Muchacha, Evil Beaver, The Minibosses, Fu Manchu, The Fuck Around Kids, The Mediocres, The Wisebloods.
Movies
Oh man so many. LOTR of course, MTRX, Happy Gilmore, Star Wars, Saw and Saw 2 were gory as hell. I'm going to have to add Teledega Nights to the list here. Check out Constantine ("Woah") SLC punk, Go (she was mine I saw her first TC), Old School (your my boy Blue), T2, Braveheart (best epic ever), don't say Gladiator cause it was a lame Braveheart ripoff especially bad were those "death" scenes. How High? High School High. cuz Im Dazed and Confused, it's the Stoned Age, I found Encino Man locked in a cave like the 12 Monkeys on the Island with a Slingblade. should I go on? naw.
Television
Comedy Central, and Adult Swim. All other programming is devoid of any kind of free thought and is designed primarily as a tool to control the masses. This especially includes the major networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, to a lesser extent FOX). The primary role of television programming is to get as many viewers in front of their tv set for as long as possible so that they can be brainwashed into fitting a profile of low self esteem. This result makes viewers easy targets for commercials that employ the sex appeal, bandwagon, and glittering generalities tactics. Furthermore the scare tactics of the media make viewers feel powerless and inneffective to change for the better. Without TV people would go out into the world and look at it for what it really is, not what the box shows them. We would all read more and converse more often and have better self esteem as a whole, A.D.D. would not exist except in rare cases. Parents would pay attention to their children instead of letting the tv raise them. All in All the world would be a better place.
Books
Anything by Larry Niven; The Origin of Conciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, 10-Dimensions, read some Neitzche but only found a portion of it readable, Charles Bernard Shaw is an excellent and revolutionary poet, I tried a Koontz book once it was ok a little cookie cutter like though, MTG novels are good especially the Larry King ones. I like to read a variety of books to expand my knowledge in all directions. I would like a book that explains the superstring theory in terms I (without any calculus or advanced physics) can understand. The LOTR books and the Harry Potter books are all well written and fun to read, like being addicted to the plot. I recently found that Tolstoy is a fantastic author.
Heroes
Hiro. Dave Grohl because he has done so many things with so many great bands and played every intrument and sang on his own and with other great bands:Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of Stone Age, and NIN (that I know of). John Feldman for doing good things for bands who's music he liked, and of course they were glad to have him. Billie-Joe Armstrong for his raw talent and ability to adapt to three different bands (that I know of) Pinhead Gunpowder, The Network, and Green Day; and for his ability to put on a great live show that includes audience participation, you will not be bored at a show. All of the heros through history who did what had to be done despite the consequences: Galleleio, MLK Jr., JFK. R. Buckminster Fuller for his rare form of genius and unending optimism, if we could change the way we live through technology...

"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
-Thomas Jefferson
