I won't forget all the times I waited patiently for you x

About Me


I hate having to describe myself so I'll sit back and let some of my favourite bands/artists do it for me!!!
"This is a definition of my life, lying in bed in the sunlight, choking on the vitamin tablets, doctors gave in the hope of saving me...
If there's something inside that you wanna say, you can say it alright it'll be okay. I'll be your light, I'll be your light, I'll be your light!" - The Beta Band
"I try and I fail, sometimes I even succeed, if you look at my life, I can't complain if you know what I mean, and it is all the same. If you're holding out you can wash in the rain" - The Bees
"No-one can judge you baby, that don't live your life, I need the resistance held by your astrological sign...
Good to feel the breath of fear on all you cynics, I'm your mimick, all you losers and abusers wasting all my precious energy..." - Ian Brown
"I've littered my life with magic, though I'm neither dead nor tragic" - I Am Kloot
"You might get angry sometimes, but don't let it turn you around. All you gotta do is get your living down. Life, life, tell it like it is. You don't have to die before you live...
Stand, in the end you'll still be you, one that's done all the things you set out to do. Stand, all the things you want are real, you have you to complete and there is no deal..." - Sly Stone
"Ever walked over a bridge in the dark, can you feel it moving, feel it swaying? Like the wind through the trees. Put your head in the hangman's noose, feel the value of life. Tighten up the rope 'til you almost choke, feel the value of life" - Cosmic Rough Riders
"Love, hate and war and the nuclear bomb, Valium and the dreaded curse of age. I wanna live by the hand of fate, let it bend me into the shape I'm in" - Daniel Wylie
"We can't tell our left from right but we know we love extremes, getting to grips with the ups and downs because there's nothing in between. When you say that's love, d'ya mean the back of love?" - Echo And The Bunnymen
"Cornered the boy kicked out at the world, the world kicked back a lot f**kin' harder" - The Libertines
"I'm beautiful, I wasn't born to follow, I live just for today I don't care about tomorrow, what I've got in my head you can't buy steal or borrow. I believe in live and let live, I believe you get what you give...
Are you solid, are you solid as a rock? Have you a strong foundation, can your soul be bought? Ain't it the truth that everybody's got a price. I sing this song for everyone who stands up for their rights..." - Primal Scream
"There can be no mistaking, so tell me quick as you can. Because we're so tired of faking, what we understand" - The Brian Jonestown Massacre
"Are you comin' on up, are you comin' on up now, are you comin' on up to me now, now you can see now!" - The Aliens
"Ando meio desligado" - Os Mutantes
So that's where I'm comin from - okay? Well kinda! Listen, all you need to know is that I'm a crazy reckless fool but my irregularly beating heart is always in the right place. Take me in or leave me out, call me up or put me down - I'm always good to go!
Oh yeah, I play bass guitar - it's always been the instrument for me - but don't ask me to be in a band, it's just a cathartic four stringed thing I do!
I also write subconcious stories, freaked out poetry and lyrics looking for a song but don't ask me what they're about - work it out for yourself if I ever get round to blogging them ha ha x x x
THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE - WHEN JOKERS ATTACK

Fellow Pisceans who know where it's at and are following the path! You know who you are

Heroes:



Anyone who lives (or lived) their life by their own rules, made their own luck, stayed true to their own values, realised their own ambitions. You don't have to be famous to be a hero!

Anyone who changed their world for the better against the odds and against the advice of those who would keep them down.

Anyone who inspired me, saved me, encouraged me or cared about me. I care about you too! Keep on keepin' on!

And a CURSE upon mysogynists, racists and self-serving users and abusers everywhere!!

I chase the devil just for one night"
