Everything I have mentioned...and, my trip to LONDON!!
Music
I would call my musical tastes eclectic mainstream....Is that a category? Staind, Linkin Park, Hip-Hop (mostly old school), R&B (New Edition, BBD, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant), I like people like Pink, Alanis, the Eagles, Eminem, Dr. Dre, No Doubt (very little of Gwen Stefani's solo (souless) stuff however), Black Eyed Peas, Mos Def, LL Cool J and many many many others....
Movies
I like lots of movies although now that I have kids, the only ones I see at actual theaters normally have talking animals or are some sort of cartoons.
But here we go with a partial list: William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (anything directed by Baz Luhrman) Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi (the rumored prequels? Let's all pretend that they didn't really happen and that the words Gungans, Jar Jar Binks, and Annie Skywalker are collective hoaxes), Godfather, Godfather II, Baseball movies: Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, The Natural, Major League, Eight Men Out, A League of Their Own, almost anything directed by Spike Lee or with Denzel Washington or Geoffrey Rush, Pulp Fiction, Shakespeare in Love (if it didn't happen that way it should have), anything with John Wayne, Rob Zombie Films, anything with Bill Murray, anything with Owen Wilson, and The Princess Bride...
Television
Not so much...Homicide Life on the Street, Buffy, Angel, Battlestar Galactica, Pardon the Interuption, the Sports Reporters, Baseball Tonight, Grey's Anatomy, The Daily Show and Cops...That's about it! Most TV sucks and I unfortunately do not have HBO where I guess the good tv goes to...
Books
All Star Wars books, the continuing universe collections are better than any of the movies...
The novels of Jeff and Michael Sharaa (Killer Angels, Gone for Soldiers, The Last Full Measure etc.)
Now I Can Die In Peace
History books...
Theatre books...
Sports books....
Heroes
I think I am too jaded to really have any heroes...Han Solo, Crash Davis, William Barrett Travis, Benny Sato Ambush and my dad...that about covers it!

Did you get a tattoo?? What is that?? You know you wish that shit said 'Scotto. ' Whassup my Boston-bashing-on-blogs Brother?? Nice deal Atlanta made-- way to hand the world series to the friggin' Angels!!
Aidan just busted his head on the floor - he fell off the back of the couch. Scared the hell-o out of all of us. He has a big knot on his noggin. Waaaa!
what's up rick, just giving you a shout-out, tell the family i said whaddup and i'm jealous of you man, my fiance didn't give me a top ten list, a top ten list of things to do, yeah, but not a great dad top ten list.
I know that you're a diehard LA Clippers fan now, but I just thought I'd take the time to point out that the team you used to root for is actually in the NBA finals this year gunning for championship number seventeen. It is a pretty cool phenomenon here on the east coast. In fact, contrary to popular belief, most New Englanders are actually, like, "enjoying" this Celtics playoff run. A bunch of us were talking the other day, and we came to the conclusion that We miss the old you. You remember, the 1997 version of Bill Simmons-- the one who would have gone absolutely apes**t crazy over a gritty Celtic team comprised of veteran All-stars who have all learned how to play selfless team-first defense. That old Bill would never, ever, EVER--even under pain of torture-- write about how the Lakers were going to trounce the Celtics in a best-of-seven series.
What the heck happened to you out there?? I mean, The cigar just fell out of Red's mouth-- he's sitting in heaven looking down in stunned disbelief. You made my little sister cry. Old men are shaking their heads in disgust.
What the heck did living in LA do to you, man? I think you may have had one too many Soy Chi Lattes, bro-ham. You have until Thursday evening to get your mind right. Because this green machine is leaving and if you ain't on it, don't come around later talking about how "Deep down inside, You always believed..."
There's still room on this Celtic bandwagon, Bill. In fact, we'll even give you the driver's seat. I've got a fresh 24-ounce Dunkin' Donuts Coffee with your name on it. Whaddya say??
With all the 'Boston Blowback' in the media lately (Spygate Dessert, anyone??) Now we're probably going to hear that Red Auerbach used to do SHOCKING things like 'turn the hot water off' in the opposing locker room in the wintertime and 'jack up the heat' during summer NBA finals games to gain a competitive advantage. Oh, wait-- he did.
Anyone want to acquaint the 2007-2008 Celtics with the words CELTIC PRIDE?? AAAAAAGH!!!
