Right now I am working on chopping/bobbing 3 bikes for other people with 3 more in line when they are done. I sold my XS 650 long bike and my sportster to put a downpayment on the house two years ago and haven't had time and money(at the same time) to get me one up and running. Have started two for me in that time and had them sold before finishing them.
I admire those that are willing to use their mind and are strong enough to step outside of the pre-packaged sanitized for your convenience egg carton in which we seem to have been delivered . Those that are willing to stand up and say "this is stupid" even knowing that the crowd's response will be "Yes, we know, isn't it wonderful".
Failing at something unique is infinitely better than succeeding at mediocrity.

Movies
Movies I really like: Jeremiah Johnson, Pulp Fiction, Volere Volare, Mediteraneo, Johnny Sticchino, Silent Running, and Snatch(I don't care what it is that's said, a black guy with an English accent saying it is just funnier, ex "A funny angle? A fucking funny angle? When you put it in reverse things are going to come at you from behind!").
Oops almost forgot Legends of the Fall. That was a kickass movie.
Tombstone: Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday while having little to do I'm sure with historical reality was fuckin brilliant.
