About Me

BANDS, DO NOT ADD ME BECAUSE YOU ARE INVARIABLY SHIT
Hello, my name is Graham (my friends call me Gray). I no longer study History and Politics at Coventry University. I now live back in Hamsey Green with my parents, I am looking for a job and will soon be on the path to world domination. Watch this space greasehounds.
I love playing the guitar and the synthesiser, writing songs and listening to music, they are without second of doubt the most important things in the world to me.
I like knitwear, especially when weaved by my doting mother. I also like charity shop-wear and cheap lighters from Poundland. I drink Earl Grey tea and copious amounts of alcohol. I dislike most things, and people, but I also like a lot of things, and people. I would say that most consider me somewhat of an anachronism, but they don't, only I do.
What more can I say? I've known love, I had love and I carelessly lost love. I've known happiness, I had happiness, I lost happiness and I gained happiness again. Then I lost it again, although undoubtedly the situation will again change in the near (or distant) future. I've had friends and I've lost friends, I've gained enemies and I've charmed snakes. I've spent the past twenty-one years drifting aimlessly through a mire of suburban apathy, it's been a rollercoaster ride full of alcohol, drugs, guitars and cigarettes.

This is a very good band...check them out!

My Interests

Playing the guitar and piano and writing. I also like to hook myself up to my Dad's synthesiser for hours on end and write horrendously cheesy trance/electronica music that even Satan would be ashamed of. Paul Oakenfold can suck my numerous bells.

I'd like to meet:

Free-thinking, hedonistic individuals and anybody who wishes to fund my various substance 'addictions'. I WILL give head for crack and/or eye contact ;)

Meet Me In St Louis - Listen to them, Love them.

Movies:

City of God is my favourite movie of all time. Basically if a film has subtitles then I generally love it (except Lord of the Rings! Elvish subtitles piss me off! And so do those midget arseholes!)
View Askew
I am very pretentious when it comes to films...if it's from Hollywood then I generally hate it, but that doesn't mean I'll discount anything and everything from Hollwood (unless it stars Tom Hanks, don't tell me he's a good actor because you're wrong). Two relentlessly bleak and depressing films I can recommend are "Love Liza" and "The Woodsman"; prepare to lose the will to live... I tried to watch 'The Harder They Come' but I couldn't understand the patois. How tragic.

Television:

Spaced, Brass Eye, The Sopranos, Futurama, Jam, The Day Today, The X Files, Black Books, NEIGHBOURS!!!! South Park, Blackadder, Peep Show, Game On, Father Ted...anyone remember "The Last Train"????...now that was rad!

Books:

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and His Dark Materials are two of my favourite collections. I also enjoy about 60% of Ben Elton's work. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. The Discworld Novels by Terry Pratchett. American Gods by Neil Gaiman. The Crow Road by Iain Banks is a book that I recommend everyone should read, it is witty and the vocabulary is extensive. The House of Cards trilogy by Michael Dobbs. LORD OF THE RINGS IS SHIT AND BORING! I read a lot, and so there are far too many titles to feasibly list.

Heroes:

William Blake; Jonny Greenwood; Jerry Cantrell; Richard James; Ray Mears; Aldous Huxley;

And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

The eyes of the abyss for me were not of colour, but of enveloping shade.

A turn for the worse and a piss into the breeze.

The air smells kind of stale today.

Once I served no-one, now I lay, legs akimbo, praying for the bullet.

More thought locomotives plough ceaselessly into walls.

I gulp my wine and stare off into the apparent distance of cyberspace.  Our hyperconnected world soon turns semi-innocent feelings of whimsical wistfulness into burning adrenaline rushes of envy....

My Queen beckons, and once more I must follow blindly into the mire of precariousness.

The best thing about Carson being back in 'Blighty' is that when we go out it looks like I have an attractive girlfriend.  She's not my girlfriend, but for those brief periods of time, it makes m...

Apathy, sodomy, and eveything that lies in-between.

Last week was slightly hectic.  Coursework was finished, numerous stimulants and narcotics were consumed, pints were poured, and sleep played an inordinately minor role in the proceedings.The cur...

A child, born of these times, cursed to wander and to wonder why.

And so we enter yet another phase in the gradual shifting of time.  We believe ourselves to be modern, we also believe ourselves to be civilized.  So fickle are we as we comfort ourselves wi...

Christ is dead. Long live the Romans!

Merry Saturnalia to you all.  Let each and every atheist or agnostic celebrate this festive season for what it truly is.  Not a celebration of a fictional character's birth, but instead, as ...

There was once a sly Fox with sharp teeth and bright eyes and a pleasant wag to his tail that delighted all his beholders.  Like many sly foxes he lived mostly upon geese, great numbers of which ...
