Comics, Writing (comics, screenplays, misc. articles and rants) Good Cartoons, Movies, radio dramas, newspaper strips (especially the adventure strips like Flash Gordon and Dick Tracy). I'm not active enough so I'm working on being more so because I really enjoy eating (and I have the spare tire to prove it!). Deep discussions, philosophy, and having fun. Poker and Curling are my favorite sports. I like to travel and do things I've never done before.
Music
VERY eclectic tastes, all kinds of music though classical and "acid rock" only in SHORT dosses. Really into Tom Waits, James McMurtry, Keb Mo, Fred Eaglesmith, and Harry Chapin, but mostly hit and miss on artist depending on the song. Being an artist, though not a musical one, my likes and dislikes really depend on my mood, though I'm attracted more to songs than say something more than just a good beat.
Movies
Any/all I love most all kinds of film, but if you have to have a list of all time favorites they would include: Casablanca, Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead, Usual Suspects, Citizen Kane, Maltese Falcon (big Bogey fan), Flash Gordon (for style more than acting), 5th Element, Big Chill, many, many others.
Television
Mostly escapist dramas, Dr Who, Torchwood, most all the FX dramas (Sons Of Anarchy is in my top 5 easily), the occasional CSI (I LOVE CSI MIAMI because it IS this decade's BATMAN) I write a little, so I can get "anal"itical at times about shows that don't quite meet my expectations. Favorite shows of all time would have to be Babylon 5, with the original Trek, Outer Limits, and Twilight Zone right up there. Not too crazy about sit-coms, though Two and a Half Men is watchable to me. I am hooked on the english soap opera Coronation Street and watch that regularly, as well as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. My current "must watch" list includes: Stargate Universe, CSI Miami (though this season is less funny than the last few), Sons of Anarchy, Mercy, Brothers & Sisters, and House. Soon Caprica, V, and Prisoner will be on that list as well.
Books
Usually escapist literature. Pulp novels, and graphic novels like Watchmen and V for Vendetta. On my reading table right now is a book on writing screenplays (Writing Movies- VERY good btw), a set of DC's Wednesday Comics, The Sprit Archives volume 5, The Complete Works Of Edgar Allen Poe, "Writing Movies" a screeplay writing book I am almost done with, and Sun Tzu's The Art Of War (that I try to read every 2-3 years or so)

At your worst, you are: cheap and angsty
You drink coffee when: you can get your hands on it
Will Eisner, Ayn Rand, Steve Ditko, Tom Waits, Jack Kirby, Bill Hicks, Nickola Tesla, Tucker, H.G. Wells, Alex Toth -people not afraid to buck the system, or to think outside the box.

My score on The Politics Test:
Left Libertarian (You scored 83% Personal Liberty and 69% Economic Liberty!)
A left libertarian believes in little to no government intervention on personal matters and little to moderate government intervention on economic matters. They generally believe in a government that is extremely small and limited to the extent of protecting people's liberty. They tend to be strongly opposed to war, police powers, victimless crimes, foreign intervention and what they consider to be a welfare state. They strongly support self-ownership and support property rights. They support capitalism as an economic system. Libertarian thought is individualist in nature.

About me: Graphic Artist by trade. Comics and cartoons are my life. I like all sorts of movies, mostly dramatic television, and most other media. I enjoy photography.
I freelance illustration and graphics work under the name Zimm Graphix (see the Zimm Graphix Myspace page listed in my "friends" section) I've self-published my own comic books,(Arrow Comics, also has their own page- as well as my cartoon monkey Spank) and have gotten close enough to that "big Hollywood deal" to become a little cynical about Hollywood all together, but I'm still willing to listen- lol. Currently I am editing and producing a comics newspaper for my local area, called Flint Comix & Entertainment, that I hope to franchise out to other areas really soon
