Music
My tastes get more and more eclectic over time. The son of a hippie, I really like classic rock and oldies music. But I also like metal, rap, Motown, doo wop, hair metal and 80's music. Some of my favorite groups include but are not limited to: Judas Priest, Van Halen (isn't it awesome they're getting back together?), Metallica (pre Load), Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax (up till they dumped John Bush), Rollins Band, COC, CCR, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, Stevie Wonder, Frankie Valli, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Michael jackson (BEFORE he became a freak), NWA, the Bee Gees, Sam and Dave, Faith No More, Hall and Oates, The Cars, Monster Magnet, Earth Wind and Fire, Eric Clapton, Cream and of course, Rip Taylor.
My apologies to anyone I omitted. it's late.
Movies
The two that are 2 hours of pefrected filmmaking are the Blues Brothers and Goodfellas. I have both memorized and can work a quote from either of the two into nearly any conversation. If you haven't seen either make it your first priority. You haven't lived until you've seen them both.
Honorable mentions of mine include: Any Quentin Tarantino film, All the Star Wars except Episode 1, Clerks, Clerks 2, Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the Wedding Singer, Happy Gilmore, the first two Godathers, Casino, Mean Streets, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver (Any Scorcese film with Deniro is gold. The greatest director/actor in Hollywood history in my view. Joe Pesci is the best supporting actor, he enhances any movie Deniro and Scorcese do together), the Die Hard trilogy, Fight Club, UHF, Batman (1989 and the newest one), Superman Returns, Kingpin, The Rock, Oceans 11 (remake), Saturday Night Fever, Wayne's World, Backdraft, Slap Shot, Beyond the Mat, Wonderboys, Officespace, Lost In Tanslation and National Lampoons Vacation.
Speaking of National Lampoon, 3 essential Christmas movies: NL Chirstmas Vacation, Bad Santa and a Christmas Story.
Last but not least, the two all time most awesomely bad movies: Tango and Cash and Point Break. Cheesey 80's/early 90's buddy cop movies don't come any better (or worse) than this.
Cheers to the Academy! They finally got it right! Here is the best picture of 2006:
........>Television
You'd think that someone who watches TV for a living NEVER watches it at home. You'd be dead wrong. I grew up in front of the TV set and got a great education. Hence my list of favroite TV shows are nearly all older than me or at least as old. All time favorite ever award goes to Taxi. The two greatest TV chracters of all time are on this show: Danny Devito as Louie DePalma and Christopher Lloyd as Jim Ignatowski. It also went out on top after 5 years which is important to note. My favorite all time drama is The Sopranos. I don't care what anyone says the final 9 were awesome! I miss it already...
Other members of my TV Hall of Fame include Family Guy, The Simpsons, Night Court, Chappelle's Show, Cosby Show, Cheers, X Files, Magnum PI, Simon and Simon, Homicide: Life On The Street, The Shield, All In The Family, Larry Sanders Show, It's Garry Shandling's Show, WKRP In Cincinatti, Golden Girls, Cheaters, Jeopardy, Lingo and I know I'm forgetting several others. If it's on or been on TV Land or Nick at Nite, chances are I like it.
Heroes
I have had a few heroes in my time. First I can remember as a lad is Darth Vader. He was the biggest bad ass on the planet. Then I moved on to Ryne Sandberg who we all know is one of the biggest bad asses on Earth. Other athletes I have idolized include Andre Dawson, Walter Payton, Michael Jordan, Mark Grace, Bill Wennigton (I play basketball EXACTLY like he did), Robert Parrish, Greg Maddux, Tony Amonte, Tim Brown and Jerry Rice. I also bow down to Martin Scorcese and Robert Deniro, the greatest director/actor team ever. Here is a scene from their best work together:
........>
Non athletes, celebrities and people of this earth who I count as heroes are mostly members of my family who have sacrificed a lot to make a great life for me. My grandparents came over from Poland and later England to make a better life for their family. My other grandmother who was the strongest person I knew and had many personality traits I admired. My parents, who sacrifcied some of their hopes and dreams for me and my brother. Who worked and still work hard without complaint. I see a lot of myself in them and finally, I'm mature enough to take that as a compliment. One final person to add to my list would be ANYONE who can take the Cubs to a World Series title or the Blackhawks to a Stanley Cup before I'm too senile to enjoy it. Thank you Jonathan Toews and patrick Kane! You have brought hope to at least ONE of those teams!
Oh and speaking of heroes:

About me:
I'm a 30 year old male living on the Northwest side of Chicago, but I am far from typical. I'm a program screener at a local TV station. This means I watch TV for a living. We are quality control. We "bleep" and fog out all inappropriate content on our programs (believe me there's a lot more to catch than you think). I have actually caught preachers dropping the "F bomb" during their shows! When I am not keeping the airwaves clean from foul mouthed preachers and trashy talk show guests, I like to hang out with my friends and family. We are all extremely close. We enjoy each others comapny so much because we share one common denominator: We love to laugh. On weekends and nights off, you can usually find me watching the Cubs, Bears or Blackhawks be it live or in person. I also am a big movie buff, so long as it's not too sappy. On weekends I usually hang out with friends and/or family and go to games, watch movies, go to concerts, play games, play cards, or go to a bar, bowling or the occasional karokee performance. I also enjoy being outdoors. I like walking, swimming, street hockey, softball or just sitting out on my deck enjoying the weather. That's about all I can think of. Anything I missed or anything else you'd like to know about me let me know!

Who I'd like to meet:
Cool down to earth people who don't judge others on the surface, people who like to laugh, people who are honest and straight forward and don't like to play games, and have similar interests to mine. If you are one of those fake profiles or a slut with a webcam: two words: Don't bother! Like Internet radio? Listen to Tony and I on Sunday Night's Main Event Sundays 8-10pm CT at www.uicradio.org. Also check out my new show, Forgotten Favorites of Rock Tuesdays from 4 to 6pm CT! If you're a fan of the old "Blaze" radio station or the Boneyard XM Music channel, this is the show for you!
