Not Only Was There A Man In His Cabinet, But The Man Was a Midget (Midget, Midget, Midget)

About Me

I grew up in the East End of Glasgow. I moved to the South Side briefly. I am now back in the East End.
I have a sister. And a mother and a father.
I like many types of music but the moment that woke me up to what was out there was watching Nirvana perform Smells Like Teen Spirit on The Word in 1991. From there, things escalated and there is a small list of my musical taste over to your left. I like to think I'm not easily pigeon-holed.
In terms of what I like to watch - David Lynch's Twin Peaks set me on the proper path in life. The more offbeat the better for me.
I am not a movie or music nazi as some people like to label me. If something is good, it's good. No matter how bad it is.
I play guitar in a band called Southpaw. Unfortunately we have rehearsed about once in the last 2 months and who knows what the future holds.
I am engaged to the greatest lady in the world. Goes by the name of Lesley. We are very happy.
