About Me

Paul
Click here for my OTHER profile, lol! Mindviz

Hey people! My real name is Paul Ray. well... i'm a 6ft tall male, (hopefully that's obvious!) and I'm originally from Birmingham. Moved to Shifnal when I was just 4 but still go to B'ham regularly to visit relatives.

Most people would think of me as a "Rocker/Mosher", which for the most part is true, and I am proud of that fact, but it's not all I am. I don't like something simply because it's "rock". I like something when I like it, and that's all there is to it.

I LOVE going to HOR (House of Rock) on Friday's :D Awesome place and great atmosphere! I also like doing some things on my own such as online gaming and listening to music, as well as practicing guitar and bass. I can also play the Steel Pans, the Drums and the Keyboard/ Piano. I used to be the leader of the Steel Pan group, but because of the Head of Music's attitude to the dept. and her methods of teaching/ governing session 6, I felt that I couldn't carry on with it.

I used to be an Explorer Scout, but I now work at the Co-Op when the meetings are on so I only rarely go to Camps. Shame really. I used to enjoy it, and I used to enjoy being an assistant leader to the Scouts and the Beaver Scouts. I remember building a bridge out of an oak tree we felled...and all the fun we had at Stanley Hall just messing about on 20 odd acres of land...it was great!

I'm also interested in Computers kind of part time, and I fix them for a few people I know. I learn through what I can research, and by experimenting on and old PC every now and again before attempting it on my newer one.

Adventure Sports...I love them! I used to do ALL sorts when I was an Explorer. Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Caving, Kayaking, Canoeing, Orientering, Pionering, Gorge Walking, the Burn Run (very cold, and quite painful! But a good feeling when you get to the end!), etc.... I wish I had the time and money to do them again now. Maybe one day...

Well, i've gone on for long enough and probably bored you all to the point of no return, so I shall let you go now!

My Interests

Music! I like Online Games such as Unreal Tournament and Command And Conquer! My alias is, surprise surprise, Compist! I also used to go to Explorers, and have been in scouting since beavers, but I had to stop going recently because of work... What else to put on here.... I like adventure sports! As mentioned under "sport" I believe... hmmm... HOR :P I have a lot of friends from differant backgrounds, cultures and "classes", and I try and be equal with all of them. The one thing I that puts me off someone is arrogance that's unfounded, such as putting other cultures down for simply being differant. Anyway, interests...listening to music, guitar, playing games...covered them i think...TV? Films? All covered...i think i'm done in that case! :D

Books:

I like fantasy books, and books that are interesting. Ive read all of the Discworld Novels! They were V gd books! Im currently reading all the little books that extend off that series (The Discworld Companion, Science of the Discworld, etc...), and i shud really find something else to read now, as im having trouble finding discworld stuff. Ive read all the Harry Potter Books too, all 6! Ive also read the Dark Materials Triology by Philip Pullman, and the ENTIRE Lord of the Rings series, 7 books! That's the 3 volumes plus the appendices! Read that in 4 days on holiday, as i was amazingly bored! I read a lot of magazines as well. Either music or science and technology based. My current faithfuls are Kerrang, Metal Hammer, Total Guitar, New Scientist, Focus and Computer Active
