I'm a man of very simple interests, nothing too out there or crazzzzzy. I dunno how to exactly list these, so i'll just say what i love doing, so here i go!
Love playing and watching footy.
Love listening to almost any music, except nasty nasty NASTY modern dance music and just pointless RnB!
Love going to gigs and closing my eyes to just fully experience the live music, if you think that's mad, just try it!
Love finding random films on the cheap
Love taking a risk on cd's that i've only heard one song from, and realising what a stunning album it is
Love chilling out with mates in a bar/pub/club and just chatting bout complete utter rubbish
Love searching eBay for random dvds
Love lieing in on the weekend
Love smelling party poppers just after they've gone off
Love chatting to random strangers about football
Love being who i am
Love not pretending to be something im not
Love thinking what the future could hold for me
Love breaking the ice with people
Love train journeys, meet so many random people
Love playing Darts, it's a good stress reliever
