Writing, collecting great music, cooking, playing footy, travelling (sometimes more of a chore than a pleasure and lately getting quite concerned with the amout of Co2 I'm contributing too) and just about to kick off the ol' painiting bug again.Travelwise so far I can list - Philippines, Indonesia, Canada, the U.S., Ukraine, Slovakia, Portugal, Holland, Germany and can now add South Africa and Norway to the list!! I know this cheating as I live in England but I have to list Scotland, what, have you seen those lochs???
My maker, not because I have a death wish, but to prove the sod really exists, because I don't really have much faith that he does!I guess if I could invite five people round for dinner, the invites would go too; Angelina (well just because), Otis Redding (yep I'd bring him back from the dead and write a few melodies with him over coffee), Jasper Carrot (I need another Brummie to understand me), Alex Ferguson (the man is a legend) and last but not least, the ol' Dali Lama himself!
Currently Paolo Nutini, Orson, Red Hot Chillies, Nerina Pallot, Snow Patrol, Colin Hay, Jack Johnson, The Feeling...then of course there are the old favourites, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, The Eagles, Dire Straits, the Goo Goo Dolls, Train, Ryan Adams, matchbox tweny, rod stewert, jamirquai and some girly stuff like Sarah Mclachlan (before you mock me, give her a listen)..
I've got a new funny film you must watch - Little Miss Sunshine! Well that is until I see Hot Fuss at the weekend..
Scrubs, Extras, Town called Eureka, Soccer AM, Match of the Day, the new Blade Series isn' too bad and Jilly has got my hooked on the latest 24 season. Sky+ Box currently has some Master Chef, Whose Line Is It Anyway and The Unit to watch..
Just finished the latest Trudi Canavan..
Basically anyone who has faced adversity and kicked it's royal arse all over the park!!
