I am here for Friends

About Me


More free Myspace layouts at Myspace Templates
Strange really, I live in Madrid, and here I'm considered an artist. Back home in England I'm considered unemployed. Oh, by the way, if you're not one of my friends and you're checking out my profile, or you haven't been invited by myself or one of my friends, would you mind terribly FUCKING OFF.
I am a painter. For money to fund my artistic endeavours I compress and simplify classic literature for Spanish people studying English and I am the on-site-manager and Entertainments Coordinator at an intensive English teaching camp. In whatever free-time I have... when I'm not hanging out with friends here in Madrid, I play my guitar.
Did I ever expect this out of life? The only thing I expect of myself is to do something extraordinary. For a working class hero from England, my life is certainly out of the ordinary.
This is me going, as I realised I was going balder on my head, I tried to compensate on my chin... I'm over it now.
Half man, half monkey. We just call him Will, he's one of my best mates from the UK.
My Mate Dillan and I ruining a party for some stiffs in Manchester.
Pablo. My conscience here in Spain.
I adopted a cute lil' death fetus from Fetusmart!

Sometimes

Sometimes the world seems to be spinning to fast. Too many voices crying for attention. Too many unresolved problems. I can feel my knuckles whitening. Sometimes I want to scream and shout, "STOP, Sto...

It's just a ride... (Bill Hicks, REVELATIONS, 1993)

The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has...
