I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

(To the Batman theme tune) Der ner ner ner ner ner ner ner…ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner Ashman. You like – if not – ah man! Hehehe!
People what’s going on, welcome to my page. Hope you like what you see; I know man dem are skimming this rhetoric in order to spend more time salivating over Meagan. In fact they probably haven’t even attempted to read it, they keep scrolling up and down in order to get the best and most complete view of Ms Goodness gracious me. (Say the gracious bit in an African accent, it’s too funny – that ‘s’ goes on for epochs). Yeah that’s right I called her Meagan aka M (to blouse and skirt (my Jamaican side)), we and I repeat WE got it like that – nicknames and sheeeeeeeeet. Girls are like she is aiight but does she have a good personality, you don’t know that? (ghetto chick (names like Shakamakateesha) voice).
Nah on a real, I think you have found from the above text that I’m a really light-hearted person, who is down for a laugh at my own and other people’s expense and in certain circumstances, I believe that is the way forward. The world is a serious place and light-relief and the ability to laugh at one’s self and life is, to me, the way forward. However things need to be balanced and when certain protocols are required, I like to think I can be serious. I am certainly a fun loving guy, who tends to find happiness in the happiness of others. If my friends and family achieve (and they are all jumping major hurdles in their own way) then that success and joy normally permeates my essence. Family and Friends are the most important things in my life and have helped to shape the individual I am and I would like to say thank you for all of you as you all, have had an influence on me. Some more than others but irrespective of that your presence has enriched my life.
Getting back to the serious part, I am a graduate of English from Queen Mary (2:1 @ 20) who is an aspiring sports Journalist (Journo is one of my many aliases). Quick aside, I feel that the grammar here has to be flawless or I wasted three years of my life trying to get my degree – hehehehe. I say aspiring in that, I’ve had a wealth of experience at the Voice Newspaper, Young Voices Magazine and for a few other publications. In spite of this I am still aiming higher and amending my goals, in order to continue to push myself to as far as I can go (Masters soon come).
To be honest, the about me part would probably be better if the people that knew me best spoke aka baited me up. Nah I am a good boy (halo is blinging and thing but cocked to the side like the latest new era).
What I will say is look out for a few blogs from me, I’ll posted some of my work that has been published and my unique view of the world, which is likely to be as weird and wacky as this and the first sentence of this section.
To all stay blessed, keep smiling, striving and surviving!!!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People that know how to crack proper joke - you know the kind that makes you scream to the point that people turn around and think what the f*ck.
You know the kind where it feels like you have been doing about 100,000 sit ups and it hurts when you try and breathe deeply but you have to in order to recuperate the air that you have lost whilst bussing up so your in agony but yet still laughing.
Or when your embarassing laugh comes out, you know the one you try your hardest to suppress but tends to come out at the most inopportune moments - yeah i'm talking bout that kinda joke!!! (i know y'all are reading this thinking about that/those jokes that had to in this state).People that are ambitious, open-minded, driven, opinionated and know how to articulate themselves!!!If that's you then holla.....!
