Music (buying/borrowing/stealing(only kidding) and listening to too many records and playing guitar),video games, literature, some movies, getting outdoors, playing and watching football - (Newcastle Utd!) .
Drinking/Smoking/Eating/Chilling/Fighting/Laughing/Crying with my friends (They're The Best In The World).
Cooking and drinking tea.
Tea is the meaning of life.
Learning crap, talking crap.
Writing crap down. Crossing it out again.
Being an obnoxious smart-arse. I'm better at it than you.
Eddie Vedder, Thom Yorke, Maynard James Keenan, Zach de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Paul Gilbert, Billy Corgan, Chris Hannah, Alan Shearer, Salman Rushdie, The Dalai Lama, Avril Lavigne (sorry).
And when I'm done with all this shit, who knows, i may meet my maker. I hope he takes me to see Jeff Buckley, Bill Hicks and Gandhi.
Oh, and maybe you, if you're reading this. Go on, chance it!!
