About Me

I'm not so sure its a good idea to dwell on the past, for me at least, my mind makes my memories all dusty and backwards. I forget things and imagine others.These days, I'm sometimes a DJ, sometimes a Delivery Boy, and sometimes a Classroom Assistant.When I grow up I want to be a Primary School Teacher, have a grey tabby cat, a lovely wife and children and not have to deal with a zombie apocalypse."I don't know how to put it, but I just can't get it through my head that here and now is really here and now. Or that I am really me. It doesn't quite hit home. It's always this way"

My Interests

I'm not keen on transcodes, alpha males, drunk girls, lad rock, doing my laundry, or the short-lived yet sharp sensation of panic felt when entering a club alone and not recognising anyone. I'm keen on girls, non-hectic clothes, minor dj'ing/club night promoting, Web 2.0, XKCD Comics, Mp'frees, Colour Coordinating and/or Block Colours, Zombies, Victoria Shoes, Nintendo, Cranberry Juice, Apple Macbooks, Pixel Art, Times 2, a tidy yet attractive bedroom, my house in France.

Movies:

I especially like quieter films, or films that don't have explosions. Though of course there are exceptions. I guess I'm into films like: The Royal Tenenbaums, Kids, Noi the Albino, Requiem for a Dream, Sin City, Fight Club, Memento, Roadracers, Brick, and The Proposition.

Television:

I pretend to watch Channel Four News, but honestly I'm only in it for Jon Snow's ties. I shamefully watch Hollyoaks, because it makes me feel a lot happier about my life. I'm not sure I make the most of my Television License, its not like they show Twins Peaks these days is it?

Books:

None of the books I like seem to be included in lists of Great Literature to read before you Die, I'm not sure if this should be an issue or not. The Outsider, Life of Pi, Epileptic, David Boring, Walking Dead Volumes, His Dark Materials.

Heroes:

Bruce Parry, probably.
