Music
Name a genre, and I'm into it.
Classical, Rock, Classic Rock (Oh yeah, baby), Jazz, Big Band, Latin, Alternative, Funk, Musicals, Ragtime, Film Sountracks, Country, Bluegrass, Reggae, and TV theme songs.
Mostly, I'm into hearing new music.
My collection is enormous, and growing like a snowball down a hillside.

Specifics are necessary here.
Amadeus, Shawshank Redemption, anything Hitchcock, anything Bogart, anything Jimmy Stewart, anything Clint Eastwood, anything Woody Allen, Wings of Desire, Citizen Kane, 12 Angry Men, LA Confidential, Chinatown, Chariots of Fire.
Tip of the iceberg, of course...
Haven't watched it in years.
TV is all about nostalgia for me.
Favorite series of all time are Columbo, Night Stalker, Star Trek, Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, Three's Company, Johnny Quest, Bugs Bunny and Road Runner, and all of those classics from the 70's (and some 80's).
Books
I don't read fiction anymore.
I'm a huge reader of biographies and books about subjects I'm interested in (Architecture, exploration, politics, American Revolution, etc...)
My favorite biography of recent years is George Washington, the indispensible man.
Also, I'm a Huge Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allen Poe fanatic.
Favorite book of all time is Endurance (Shackletons great Antarctic Expedition)
Heroes
Police, Firemen, Nurses, and Trash Collectors.
Future hero will include the person who invents the noiseless leaf blower.
I'm a magazine cartoonist based in Los Angeles. My cartoons and illustrations have appeared in everything from Highlights to Hustler. Some others include Better Homes and Gardens, Saturday Evening Post, Readers Digest, Womens World, and Harvard Business Review.
For the past 2 years I have served as cartoon editor of Rockstar magazine. Blah, blah, blah.
You get the picture.
ON A MORE PERSONAL LEVEL, I have a deep appreciation for each and every breath I steal. Above all, I value my relationships between family and friends, and nothing gives me more satisfaction than spending time with cherished ones.
My life is based on a true story.
