I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hate these things, but it's about time I filled it in. Umm... I'm Michael (duh), turned 22 years old in January. Lived in this glorious city named Leeds for a good 22 of those years, and of course it never gets boring. Okay, I'll drop the sarcasm. Yes, I've lived in the same area my entire life, never moved around much and so got an established network of close friends. Am currently at Leeds Met University, hopefully passing (hopeful being the key word, wish me luck!) my second year of a Fine Art degree soon. Battling my way through the course, trying to get back into it after taking a year out. Didn't think it could take nearly a year to do that! Anyway, obviously I'm into all things Art, contemporary art, public art, digital art, conceptual art, sound art, figurative art, that weird stuff that people always describe as "but is it art?" and so on. Also music, I am obsessed with all forms of music and will go nowhere without my iPod, it's my life-support! Not into a particular style of music, pretty much everything sounds good to me, especially when it's live. There's probably more to me, but that's it for now. Wanna know more, then get in touch.

My Interests

Art of all kinds, anything creative. Film, photography, music, writing, sculpture. At the moment I'm working in CGI and animation, which sort of incorporates all of the above.

I'd like to meet:

Mainly on here for staying in touch with my friends, but always happy to make new ones. Especially if you're on my course. (Been studying with you guys nearly a year now, and still only know a handful of names!) Happy to meet anyone really, if you wanna talk about music, art, films you've seen recently, or the colour of the sky today, talk to me. Oh, and friendly realistic gay guys. Not many of us in my circle of friends, have you all gone underground? Also people who know good bands or are in good bands..

Music:

Anything and everything. Recently, my most listened to are Massive Attack, Tool, Lamb, Boards of Canada, A Perfect Circle, Orgy, Placebo, Bola, Amon Tobin, Bjork, System of a Down, the Chemical Brothers, Zero 7, Thom Yorke, Cypress Hill, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Leftfield, Portishead, Tricky, Snow Patrol, Sigur Ros, DJ Shadow, A Tribe Called Quest, Antony & the Johnsons, Mogwai, The Cinematic Orchestra

Movies:

American History X, Pi, Requiem for a Dream, Dancer in the Dark, the Ginger Snaps trilogy, George A. Romero films, Being John Malkovitch, Edward Scissorhands (anything Tim Burton really), The Million Dollar Hotel, some anime and Manga is quite good too.

Television:

Spaced, King of the Hill, Futurama, Harry Hill, The Office, Shipwrecked (sad, I know), loads of comedy and cartoons. Everything else tends to be vomit.

Books:

Not read a great deal recently. Last book I finished was "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde". The Gormenghast trilogy is one of my favourites too. Really liked "So long, and thanks for all the fish" by Douglas Adams too, if anybody wants to lend me the other Hitchhikers...?

Heroes:

Chris Cunningham, Anthony Gormley, Maynard James Keenan, Robert Del Naja, Marc Quinn, Thom Yorke, Brian Warner, Stephen Fry, Derek Jarman
