I enjoy (in no particular order nor sense) the combination of music and smoking, being the loudest person in a band, team bartending, liquid drum n bass, going driving with friends fairly aimlessly, playing drums, songs that make you go 'Ooooh' and all the hairs on your neck stand up, drinking in tents, festival campsites, juggling very fast, slaughtering people at pool, reading in pubs, watching phil do magic, dancing to New Found Glory in the kitchen, talking about nothing in particular, words such as and including 'splendid', playing Ronan Keating on the guitar, lighting candles for no apparent reason, vodka, lemon and lime, looking at pictures of the night before, gesticulating wildly, dodgy sunglasses, the fact i understand Gary Larson cartoons, all forms of intoxication, the hit of nicotine 5 seconds after you take back, the coolest kids in town, literature, talking philosophically, Drum n Bass nights, cheesecake browsing, charity shop shopping, the bus station cafe, songs that start with drumming, left-wing political views, making mixtapes, giggling endlessly and acting on stage.
Despite the fact of them being somewhat dead; Kerouac, Camus, Plato, Aristotle, Hendrix, Moon, Darwin, Garrett, Byron, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Monkhouse and Shaw.Of the living, I'd like to meet the Pope, Gary Larson, Noam Chomsky, Noel Fielding and Julian Barrat (sp.?), DJ Format, Jonathon Ross, Alan Shearer and Dylan Moran.I'd like to meet Ben Elton, and tell him his latest book is just a shit hypermodern version of 1984. I'd also like to meet Russell Brand and disillusion him from the premise he is actually funny.I'm glad for everyone I've met in my life so far...
