Me, me, me, it's all about the me... so it is.
But yes, me, the thing you're here to read about obviously cos I'm great like that. Take it all, bitch. Baw deep...
So, what do you want to know? If the answer is "nothing" then I will now politely ask you to piss off. Otherwise, I hope you're sitting comfortably.
I work so I can live, not the other way around. I'm unutterably lazy. If common sense made dynamite, I wouldn't have enough to blow my nose. I have severe problems explaining things to people because I can't understand why, if it feels like that in my head, other people can't get it into theirs. I have little time for stupid people (and by that I don't mean people who can't help it but people who really should know better) and neds, those fucking waste-of-space scum who could be better put to use as cavity wall insulation. I like the comfort of my flat too much and only venture outside when it's absolutely necessary. I'm not agoraphobic, I just detest other human beings.
For example, people who think they are the bee's knees, people who boast and people who big themselves up... these people should be set on fire and raped. Whether they deserve the accolade or not is immaterial, it's the crass arrogance of it that pisses me off. There are many things I'm good at but I don't make a point of letting other people know about them, that's why it's more rewarding to get to know me and find out for yourself.
Anyway, I play (or attempt to play) 6-string bass in an insane tech-thing metal band from Edinburgh called Friday Night Gunfight . We're rather good in a "melt your skull from the inside out with mad time signatures and changes" style along with the fact that we have sections that are basically heavy as fuck!
Apart from playing with that bunch of nutjobs, I have previously "treaded the boards" with 2 Glasgow bands called Godplayer and PigScum . Fantastic music on all counts, I'm just too much of a wank to play it any more. I love (nearly) all the members of both bands like brothers and want to keep it that way so it's just best I don't work with them anymore. Pulling in different directions never works.
I also like masturbating in cinemas to "Mars Attacks" and wondering if neds realise they are neds or not, an ongoing quandary...
