About Me

Before tuesday i was sent from a planet far far away in deepest slough, to recover used toothbrushes from the mouths of starving giants. When i got there i found it was all rather a farce and i was in fact the the third duke of essex. The frustration felt upon this discovery enticed me to consume 14.7 metric tonnes of edam cheese. I was then fed to 50 cent and spent the next 23 years trapped in his pancreas. Thankfully some kind gentleman threw a deckchair at the guy at reading festival 2004 which dislodged me into south cornwall. Now you have to understand that the sand has a dangerous level of acidity in this area, due to off shore oil rigging, and living in a hip hop stars pancreas for a large number of years made me a strong alkali. It was then my job to roll around the beaches returning them to their natural ph levels. I gathered the nickname 'barney' after the popular childrens t.v character due to my distinct purple glow. It's not hard to realise that i didn't exactly fit in, what with being purple and everything, and trying to get served in sainsbury's was hell, so i decided to go to Matthew Kelly toget one of his patented 'boiling bleach makeovers'. This returned me to a natural hue, so that i could continue with normal life. I then woke up in a bed, in room 2 of flat 2 of the Glamorgan building of Plas Gwyn campus at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. Apparently i am studying Music And Audio Electronic Systems. I shall go along with this rouge and see where it takes me........The only word i can think of to describe myself is complex. Describing myself is one of the hardest things i will ever have to do. On the outside to most people i seem an outgoing, jokey sociable person. While this is true there is also areas of my personality which point towards darker things. My true nature is that i am the shyest person you would ever meet, when i was in primary school i would be too nervous to speak even to my friends. This continued until i discovered music. Music is my life, everything i do is to benefit my love of music, In truth it is more of a source of therapy for all of my negative emotions. This relates to the fact no one ever sees me either angry or depressed. The majority of my music collection is made up of metal. Instead of taking out my aggressions in the form of violence i listen to music relating to that mood. The imagery conveyed in such music also reflects my constant paranoya of death. This is something that constantly haunts my mind, and almost every decision i make is made with this in mind. I do not know if this a psycological issue, but i do not see it as a problem. i see it as a way of making every day the best i possibly can, as tomorrow may never come. This is one of the main inspirations that i use to write lyrics or short paragraphs to release this energy. This is so that i can have a good time whenever in a social situation. This is the part of me that most people see and know me for. I also have a strong passion for taking control of my own life. I cannot stand to be lazy, to let mediocrity run my life. I have one goal in life: to be remembered. That means being the best that i can be, which i try to be all the time. My goal is to influence and inspire. The ideal medium would be through music, which is where my life is currently taking me. Where will i be in 5 years? Who knows? There we go, a little glimpse of what its like to be me, hope i havn't bored you. This is me, enjoy life as it drains faster with each passing day... width="425" height="350" ..

My Interests

MUSIC. both playing and listening to, as well as attending on average 15-20 gigs per year. I play guitar, in various amatuer bands. These range from progressive metal a la opeth to stoner rock. I also have done vocals in a band that is very part time as the drummer is the drum machine on my guitar pedal. The style of said band is generic metalcore, which we choose as its fun to play and i can release some of my cacophanic death growls. I also ride bmx but this has drastically reduced now i am a student in Cardiffhere is my band ROCKING out with our cover of the 80's metal classic 'the final countdown'
