Well my interests obviously involve days where I can snap necks, break bones, commit bloody murder and end the day with a nice game of Scrabble :) Ok maybe not really, seriously though I am a self confessed net addict. As well as the net, my life seems to revolve around going to gigs and zombies; there are worse ways to waste your life! As you see on every other profile, yes my friends do mean a lot to me – they are the people who have been there for me and helped me during my "down" times (and there have been a lot of them). I owe my life to these people and I can never thank them enough :) Being a total jackass doesn’t seem to help that!I used to be on the wireless too kids! I mean the radio, not the new broadband thing. But yeah! From 2005-2007 I was on Radio Hope (shitty university station) at first heading my own show “Guerrilla Radio†with Ste Beard before combining with “The Rob Nathan Rock Show†to form THE HOPE ROCK SHOW! We had to do an audition thing to get it on the air back in December 2006, here is the video of that train wreck:
It's quite sad but looking back at that video now (now being November 2007) I can’t help but feel 2 things: 1. When Ste pauses at "I know", I keep expecting him to say "Ronnie James Dio". 2. God I've lost weight since then! Those jeans which where close2tightish back then ended up turning into clown pants on me within a year!
The Hope Rock Show is STILL on the air and in my top friends somewhere – alongside with Rob, Russ and Ste, it was a fucking awesome time whenever we were on air. I left the show in October 2007 due to “creative differences†with the station management. Still though...the following game cheered me up muchos!
Is this where you write about people you always dreamt of meeting? Oh I dunno, a random eskimo in a pink thong with a pet anteater seems like as good a dude/dudette to meet as anyone! Truth be told, I'm just that creepy looking guy who no one quite knows which wavelength they're on on any particular given day yet for some reason will be nice or distant but irritate the fuck out of you because you want nothing to do with them. So yeah, anyone who can put up with me would be nice!
Would of course also love to meet this man. When he comes, he touches people. Apparently.
I'd also like to meet God Himself:
The REAL Batman, ADAM WEEEEEEEEST! ADAM WEST!

This is jus a microcosim of my taste though, and I'm not a hardcore fan of every friggin band/artist I HAVE mentioned (ok maybe except for the top one :P) so don't assume im a total band geek PLEASE! Even though I guess I am!
Ok well basically I'll watch anything with blood, guts, gore and lemon zest influenced murder. *ahem* Me and El Midgeeto have watched more shit 70s/80s/90s horror movies than you so ha! Personal faves for crapdom include Mutant and Driller Killer, and Cannibal Holocaust is just freaking awesome!
My fave films revolve around ZOMBIES or anything close to zombies, I don't know why but I just love the idea that one day all my enemies will die and I'll have a legal excuse to butcher their undead bodies to peices :) This is my fave zombie ever, HE RAWKS!

Well I did English Literature at A Level an now I'm well into my 3rd year of doing it at Uni (as well as Media). This despite the fact that I went over a year without even reading a book at one point lol. Yes I'm just awesome like that :p I have a pretty wide taste in books but my favourite are (sadly enough) the Wrestlecrap books, Mick Foley's autobiographies and The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z by Max Brooks. Greatest books ever!
GIGS! Ok this should really be under music but ah well! The reason this list exists is because a while ago a friend asked me how many gigs I'd ever been to and I ended up trying to remember every one of them. Now I keep a sad bastard record of them! Here be the gigs/bands/dates that I can remember! WOO!

MY GRANDAD (My Nans on the left)
If I can become half the man my Grandad is, I'll have really accomplished something with my life. My hero from day one, all my happiest memories from my childhood all involve him. Even today, just talking to him, having proper discussions with him and knowing he values my opinion means a lot. Possibly the only person in the world who can rant and ramble MORE than me.
EL MIDGEETO!
The Midget aka Mandy, my best mate of a a few years now (yeah the poor bastard lol). She always comes through for me when I need her, she's helped me through the toughest time in my life, she rawks! The story of her life should be an inspiration to at least 99% of the planet.
Truth be told, aside from those two bonkers bastards, everyone and anyone can be a hero in the right light and reflection under certain circumstances. All I can really do is thank anyone who has inspired me to be a better person; oh yeah that's bollocks right there, me as a better person, but anyone who can inspire the best out of you, who can help guide you to inner destinations you never knew possible, now that my friends is the difference between a friend and a hero.
