About Me

old, jaded, heartbroken, and i keep on smiling like its all ok. Cos it IS. :O) i dont drink often(well, not at all now), smoke waaaay too much, currently in the middle of a serious weightloss and muscle building programme, lost 4 stone of fat and gained a half stone of muscle. w00t!. Ex member of a band(Divide, who now have a myspace, that was me on Bass on them thar songs, before i made a big error and left), started new one,as its safe to go back to the scene. Currently in love(when am i not?), getting back into design and riding n the biggest ways. Moving house, probably in with my new girl, who is amazing. Fuck it, mistakes were made to be made, thats what keeps me fuelled. rokk and fukking roll.

My Interests

Art(digital mostly), Photography, HxC (when i can safely enjoy it again...stolen from me...), toy soldiers, hitting things with big sticks, hitting sticks with big things. Sengoku Jidai, anything remotely geeky (in the real sense, not the fashion emo thing, that sucks, why dress like a geek, but be thick?), my girl, slagging myspace in RL then updating my profile. BMX(flatland all the fucking way, alone, in a carpark at 4 am is best). Tai chi ,chi gung, kung fu, swords, knifes, guns, pirates, zombies, zombie pirates, ninjas, ninja pirates, and the ultimate thrill, ninja zombie pirates!

I'd like to meet:

A good old fashioned Dictator like Stalin or Pinochet, just to ask them what they smoked when they were younger and still little baby dictators.

Music:

Posi HxC, Old Skool Mainly. Mad electronic stuff like Boom Bip and Ganger, old glasgow bands who were on postcard records, Johnny Cash.

Movies:

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind,Requiem for a dream, Pi, Lord of the rings, Anything by Nani Moretti. And i like to watch the manga stuff that my girl watches, just cos theers sometimes big robots or tanks, or robot tanks, and tanks are cool, robots are cool, ergo robot+tank=cool^cool.

Television:

whats TV?

Books:

Anything By Kurt Vonnegut, Hemingway, Sci-fi (pulper the better), all mad bhuddist things i can get my mitts on.

Heroes:

Dont believe in them :)
