Music
Check out the band I'm starting with my friend Chad. So far only his tracks are posted, but we're going back to the studio soon and will send bulletins out when the new mixes are posted. So send us a friend request and get notified when the new stuff is playing!

And a lot of my friends have great music spaces. Check ‘em out:

Classic rock, 80's rock/metal (think Iron Maiden, NOT Poison), Les Paul, Django Reinhart
Movies
Stage Beauty, The Boy Who Plays on the Buddhas of Bamiyan, Control Room, MovinG, Metropolis ,All of the mockumentaries by Christopher Guest & Co. (A Mighty Wind, Best In Show, Waiting for Guffman, and especially THIS IS SPINAL TAP). Stanley Kubrick, Monty Python, Mel Brooks, M. Night Shyamalan, "The Fog of War," independent films, and anything besides the usual tripe "playing in a theater near you!" If it's on the Sundance Channel I'm more likely to watch it than if it's on HBO. I also like well made B-movies (Starship Troopers was a guilty pleasure, for instance). Naked Lunch (What's with all the Mugwum jizm?), Freaks, TEAM AMERICA!!!
Television
Family Guy, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Lost, the "geek channels" like Discovery, The Learning Channel, etc. Most of the "Modern Marvel Wrath of God Seconds from Disaster Medical Miracle" specials on cable.
Actors... "just self-absorbed people who would do anything to get you to like them."
~Michael Chrichton, State of Fear

A little about me:
I'm an actor with a day job that supports my theatre addiction. When I'm not rehearsing or spending time with my wife and/or friends I'm teaching myself the guitar (very slowly) or playing racquetball.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Dude, I know! It was so nice to get to spend time with her, too - we've never really gotten to do that! How are you?! It's been so long! What's up in the Land of Milligan??
It is only the greatest cartoon ever. Every episode ends with everyone dying in some epic way...Steve and I watched it last night and were seriously just sitting on the couch laughing, unable to speak, for about 10 minutes after.
