Music: I love all kinds of music, but Polka. Not sure how people can listen to it, but to each their own I guess. I tend to drift between Rock, Rap, and Country depending on my mood at the moment. Some favorites are: Jimmy Eat World, Cake, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Sublime, Elvis, Beatles, CCR, Queen, Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, Dream Theater, and many more.

Food: I like to try anything new within reason or on a dare. I love some ethnic food, but mostly Mexican and Sushi. I'm a big meat and potatoes guy at heart.
