" Live everyday as if it's the best day of your life... "
- Tagline from the film "Reign Over Me"
" ...and why not live it with me?.. "
I hope that you have arrived here to confirm that you've discovered someone interesting and different from anyone else you may have browsed upon through here ( because I doubt you're looking for something similar from the last guy you clicked...he must've been pretty boring if you're here now :P ) because this whole thing about me that I've put together piece by piece for a little while here now does not favour a short, diminished and erratic attention span...so if you can't sit still at the thought of reading a great deal about me, click the link above about the quick point form blog ( and if you can't sit still while you are reading a great deal about me, then calm the hell down:P )...
" You're familiar with the phrase "man's reach exceeds his grasp"? It's a lie...man's grasp exceeds his nerve.... "

I'm here…( ...it's an odd way to begin an introduction, isn‘t it? ) and hopefully I’m still here everyday after that ( ...is that too much optimism? Want to check up on me, just to be sure I‘m still here? Then Click ***HERE*** to SUBSCRIBE to my blog )...

That "sense of humour" thing that people are so often looking for in another person, a partner or a friend ( liars! You'll laugh at anything handsome people say!...admit it, you're getting a giggle out of this at least ) you'll discover that in abundance with me because I'm a little bit of a joker, a heavy metal harlequin ( you can't kill the metal...the metal will live on ) and a human highlight reel of death defying comedy ( but I'm shy and quiet around new people...I must be a little more silly than usual :P ), however on the more in-depth, thoughtful and philosophical side of the coin, quite frequently and voluntarily, I make what I consider to be great efforts to help others ( from lending an ear to donating blood every couple of months or so )...
" The training is nothing! The will is everything! The will to act... "
- Henri Ducard from Batman Begins
I make the effort to help my friends or strangers in whatever way I can, I make the effort to go out of my way for them and most importantly, I make the effort to be fair to others ( and the reason for these efforts is this…with all that I am limited to doing as a human being, to make such efforts is perhaps the most decent and valuable thing I could do in a day for anyone...even you ) because it's not nearly enough to believe in 'helping others' or 'being fair' or even to highlight and like such attributes ( like peace, love & understanding ), it's whether or not you're actually making the effort towards those kinds of things that determine what kind of a person you are ( and if you're making the effort to lie, insult & upset people to sway things into your favour...then you have a hole in your heart...and such behaviour cannot fill it )...
" What would you rather? To settle an argument together or to win an argument & celebrate alone?... "
- Matthew Cooper
Enough of the depth, let’s enjoy the shallow end for a moment ( but don‘t worry, I’m more than likely to plunge back into the deep end sometime...I enjoy it, I hope you do too ) and allow me to explain what it is I do exactly...I'm a very nocturnal individual, I sometimes sleep during the daytime ( for those taking notes, that's the best time to uncover my king sized coffin and stab a wooden stake through my heart...remember young vampires, don't run with wooden stakes :P ) and I often live & roam during the nights ( with my night dwelling friends, watching movies, playing games on Xbox Live, engaging in eyebrow raising behaviour, going to a lot of concerts when they're available and filming things like my friends musical performances or my own amusing / bizarre antics )...

I believe my best attribute would have to be the wheels in my mind, always turning, always brooding on a large variety of ideas ( whether they be practical or amusing ) which means I'm rarely bored or doing nothing, I'm always thinking of something or someone…sometimes this constant cluster of thought prevents me from sleeping ( but then again, I wouldn't be any fun to be around if I were asleep...or would I? ;) ), giving me time while I'm delighting in insomnia to put together silly things like this...

I like to climb things & hang out in high places ( balconies, ceiling rafters, rooftops…heights don’t‘ scare me and they shouldn‘t scare you either ) and I always have loved ascending to heights that others don‘t dare to reach…literally and figuratively speaking ( hey...this isn't a lie by the way, but I'm actually Number One in the World in Boggle on Xbox Live...some people will tell you that I cheated to become number one but in my defence, I didn't mean to cheat, it just happened and I found out afterward how to do it ), so you shouldn't find it terribly strange if you discover me above you somewhere…hanging upside-down ( although I'll always argue that YOU are the one who is silly and upside-down...yeah, try and argue your way out of that one :P ).

I'd like to voluntarily develop a little something called Midnight Disease ( even though I thought I had...but had recently been cured of such a thing ), or in medical terms, Hypergraphia ( The driving compulsion to write; the overwhelming urge to write. I'd rather have this than writer's block, could pay off and also means I drop by MySpace at least once a week ) so that all the ideas I have could literally spew out of my imagination and into print.

I'm a multimedia guru and have been able to literally surround myself with the things I truly love because of it ( music for one...mostly metal, randomly rock, preferably punk, occasionally acoustic, sometimes soundtracks and idyllically instrumental ), I've been dabbling in just about every aspect of media & putting it to good use for a handful of local musicians for quite some time now ( with promotion, advertising, video, photography, writing, web design, graphic design etc. )...to give you an example, I put together just about everything you see here on my home page ( even the banners below! ).

I used to think that my ideas & dreams of standing out were very avant-garde ( although I think a lot of people have adopted these ideas & dreams now ), like how I don't want to in fit in with the crowd, how I don't believe in meeting the standards made and presented to me by others ( especially the outrageous double standards set by some biased, hypocritical, pompous snobs :P ) and how I'm not too keen on following the trends set by popular culture...
" Peer pressure is ironic because, your peers aren't people who pressure you into conforming with what they want you to do... "
- Matthew Cooper
I'd rather stand out ( and if I can stand out wearing black clothes all night, I can do anything ^_^ ), set, achieve and exceed my own standards, goals and expectations and craft my own trends with my never ending ideas ( I'd encourage anybody to 'not' fit in but stand out instead...except if it meant wearing really loud, obnoxious clothing )...you could fathom that this unpopular approach to living would occasionally have me being described as having slightly odd behaviour ( but then again, what's 'normal' behaviour these days?...it's a rhetorical question :P ).
" insert deep, meaningful, amusing, philosophical jargan here... "
- Matthew Cooper
I've refused to take life so serious ( Because I'm living everyday as if it's the best day of my life…if I‘m taking something seriously, then it must be important ) which is probably why a seemingly small number of people of particular interest in my life hate me ( people that hate me do exist unfortunately, I won't deny that idea ). There are so many people being unreasonable and determined to justify everything said and done in anger to which their efforts benefit & help nobody, such behaviour is so useless and doesn't often win you friends, settle arguments or help anything ( someone I know lost a lot of friends & made a lot of enemies for such irrational behaviour ), yet, my being funny, creative, outstanding, perhaps most importantly fair toward others and permitting a little craziness into the more fun parts of my life has kept a greater number of people in my life as friends.
Jareth " I have been generous up 'til now. I can be cruel. "
Sarah " Generous? What have you done that's generous? "
Jareth " Everything! Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that the child be taken. I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous? "
- Jareth & Sarah from Labyrinth
And to conclude, according to this greater number of people, I'm funny, friendly, charming and handsome ( even my enemies have thought so...and if they haven't, I'd like to hear from them again )...so at least you can gather that I am surrounded by very kind individuals quite a bit, but just to be fair and certain that I possess all those attributes, you probably should discover more about me for yourself ( go on, I dare you :) ).
If you were to make the effort to leave me a message or a comment or anything, I'd be certain to make a little effort to reply. ^_^
