Music, Japan, lucha libre, wrestling, Mexican food, skateboarding, lowbrow art, making movies and music videos for bands, XBOX, toy collecting, photography, travelling the world, eating pizza, hunting down trashy films, editing a magazine, Gibson guitars, Marshall Amps, rockin' like a motherfucker.
I'd like to meet:
Joey Greco cos he rocks, Claudia De Falchi (for no real reason whatsoever), Lemmy (for no other reason than to simply shake his hand and say 'thankyou' for the fuckin' great music he has brought to this world) and Jennifer Connelly. Other than that, I have met everyone "famous" I have ever wanted to meet.
Now, I just want to meet like-minded people who listen to cool music, like art, publish their own zines, are from or simply just love Japan, or anyone who is an all-round great person. I don't have time for wankers anymore so if you are one, please don't waste my time or yours. Life is short enough as it is.
Here's what I have been listening to:

Everything good, especially the Ramones, Motorhead, The Wildhearts and The Hard-Ons.

Television:
Banana Splits, Baywatch, Bewitched, Cheaters, Degrassi Junior High, Degrassi High, Diff'rent Strokes, Dukes Of Hazzard, Futurama, Get Smart, Hong Kong Phooey, House, I Dream Of Jeanie, Jabberjaw, King Of The Hill, Knight Rider, Lancelot Link - Secret Chimp, Lost In Space, Miami Vice, Relic Hunter, Scooby Doo, Spaced, Temptation Island, That 70's Show, The Addams Family, The A-Team, The Jetsons, The Munsters, The Simpsons, The Twilight Zone, Thunderbirds, Wonder Woman, and any wrestling programs.
I'm so cool that they based a TV show on me... Unfortunately, due to my work / band commitments, I was unable to play the lead role so they got some other dude in and he did a fine job indeed. Here's proof:
Books:
I read books constantly, autobiographies mainly. Also love books about B-grade movies and trashy television. 'The Dirt' by Motley Crue is a definite faveourite as is any book by Mick Foley and the books by Joe R Lansdale. Art books and wrestling autobiographies I tend to read a lot. Also read the magazine Juxtapoz, and have a gazillion zines from around the world.
Heroes:
My mum.
Ginger & The Wildhearts - The music that changed my life.
