Miscellaneous likes and dislikes:

I am a connoisseur of life.  Everything can be appreciated and should be to the best extent our circumstances allow.  Life is short, don't miss it.

I love to cook all kinds of things, if I have a recipe I can probably make it.  I am a master of steaks on the grill (what guy doesn't think he is?)... but also enjoy the endless varieties of crepes.

I love all kinds of music: rock, pop, country (80's and 90's), classical, smooth jazz, eclectic, hard rock, grunge, and even a little rap.  

I adore (can a guy use that word without questionable connotations?) Enigma! Enya in a similar class, and therefore much Celtic. The Beatles are of course the best band of all time in any category. Charlie Daniels is probably my favorite in Country, also Hank Jr and many others- Shania!. Wagner, Chopin, Brahms, Tchaikovsky... Don't say you hate opera until you've heard Carmina Burana (http://www.anthea2.freeuk.com/carminaburana/) you've probably heard it as a soundtrack to some movie, it rocks. Emenim's Lose Yourself belies the worthlessness of rap and Pink's true vocal abilities are under appreciated.

I love all kinds of movies: comedy, action, drama, sci-fi, independent, and foreign.  Amalie is one of my favorite foreign films.  I don't care for horror/slasher films, what really is the point?

I love to read about almost any subject if it's written about well: all of the subjects in my interests category, as well as sci-fi and fantasy, mystery, biography, and more.  Not really much into a lot of the contemporary popular stuff though... a lot of the best fiction was written in the 50's and 60's.
