Any form of art (especially music) and any sport or leisure activity that lets me be outside (especially if it involves water).
Music
My tastes are VERY varied. If it's high quality and has something good to say, I'll probably dig it, no matter what genre it's in. I love to listen to indie artists, especially if I know them--Greg Adkins, Zack Below, Exit 352, 5th Avenue North, Ethan Norman, Every Mother's Dream, Jason Harrod, Poor Rich Folk, and many others.
Movies
That Thing You Do, The Untouchables, Singin' in the Rain, and many others.
Television
The Muppet Show and Austin City Limits are the best shows ever created for television. Close behind them are VHI's Pop-Up Video and Behind the Music. Sports are good, too--especially when they have music in the half time shows. I'd watch more "reality TV" IF a)I had more time to watch anything, b) it dealt with actual reality, and c) they spent less time on drama and more on action.
Books
I love to read, and I read everything from the Bible to Entertainment Weekly Magazine. When I was a kid, I actually read a large portion of the World Book Encyclopedia (we had a set given to us, and I'm talking about a huge chunk of all the books in the set); I wanted to know EVERYTHING! I love graphic novels if they're well written and drawn, but this makes it hard; for example, I believe Frank Miller is a complete genius, but his books contain a lot of stuff I avoid and therefore I don't actually read many of them.
Heroes
I admire anyone who's better than me at any of the things I'm good at. I respect anyone smart enough to realize that a) they DON'T have to do whatever everybody else is doing and b) "everybody" is not actually doing anything, anyway.
Oh wow!! i just can't beleive that their that old alreddy!! ah where does the time go....and i'm sure he wants me to be happy its just hard but i can do it...i've been fealing alot better lately everything seems to be clearing up and i can actually live life without hating everything about myself..i think u listening to me really did actually help because i did'nt really talk to anybody about it besides u and janie.. thanks again so much... and yes we most definately need stay in touch...so how is the weather down there? its insane up here it was pretty warm here for a few days then we had a really bad snow storm! ugh i'm so moving down there again when i'm eighteen this place is crazy! lol...but anyways i need get going to work so i will talk to you later have a good day!.... bye...

Hey John. What's going on? Sorry I haven't been at children's church the past few weeks. I had my play and this past week I didn't know about the time change so I over slept. But I should be there this coming week.
I'm not mad man.. I don't know what would make her think that. I just though we weren't having class today.Thats why I left early. I do think people need to stop being so critical on others just because their a little different and unusual. But, no I wasn't mad earlier. I wasn't gonna sit around and wait for nothing... But my # is 789-2679. I'm fixin to go eat with dad, but will be back in a few hours.
Yeah hopefully I'll see you guys. I'm probably allowed to go hang out with MHCC at one point while I'm there too. We had a busy holiday. It was really crowded and loud in our house, but it was lots of fun. We got a chocolate lab puppy for christmas. He's 9 weeks old now. How has youth group been going?
Hey John! How was your new years? Ours was kind of dull. we didn't really do anything and mom has been recovering from surgery. She finally got the metal out of her back. By the Way I will be at TCTC but I'm going with Bill's church. I wish i was going with MHCC. Anyway I hope to meet up with you guys sometime while i'm there. Take care!
