Any old tat can get my interest but nothing holds it very long. I'm a bit hyper, never sit still, always moving, seldom focused for long. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming......
I'd like to meet:
The man who invented alcohol. Not sure whether I'd thank him or choke him to death though. Apart from him, I'll say hello to anyone. What can I say, I'm a friendly guy. I'm especially glad I met the mighty Elf, Amypob and Gaylord Dawes who are now sort of extended family and rock like rocky things going to the cinema in the Rocky Mountains to watch all five Rocky films in one go eating Rocky Robin chocolate bars and wearing New Rock boots. Which is slightly more than this much.
Music:
See, I'm one of the most red-blooded, heterosexual men you could hope to meet...but I tell you now, I WOULD DO Eddie Vedder.I like all manner of shit, but I'm mainly a rock dude...Type O Negative is my all time favourite, closely followed by Nine Inch Nails. Others are: Slayer, Fear Factory, Incubus, Queens of the Stone Age, Faith No More, Alice in Chains, System of a Down and Tool.
Other stuff? I like hard dance, dark drum and bass, a bit of hip-hop, DJ Shadow, any shit like that and I love Neil Diamond and Johnny Cash. You can never go wrong with James Brown and Stevie Wonder. I also harbour a disturbing taste for cheesy pop, including an unhealthy passion for the Backstreet Boys and the mighty Vanilla Ice. Word to your mother......
Movies:
As with most of my favourite things in life, I like dark and miserable. Favourite film ever? Prince of Tides. Yes, I know it's old and I know it's Barbara Streisand and Nick Nolte but just watch it properly...they're all messed up, it's twisted as hell and for once it doesn't have a 'happy ever after' ending. Which leads us onto The Butterfly Effect. Favourite film number two 'coz it makes me sad and disturbs me. Way to go, film! Others are: Jacob's Ladder, Se7en, Donnie Darko, Sleepers, The Crow and Natural Born Killers.
I do actually do comedy....I love Airplane, Naked Gun, Top Secret, Hot Shots, Finding Nemo, Kung Pow and the mighty Napoleon Dynamite. That's what I'm talkin' bout!
Television:
Anything to do with animals. Not the rubbish horse/sheep/otter type animals....things that have something about them. Sharks, Crocodiles, Monkeys/Apes and of course the mighty Hippo. Still waiting for the Discovery Channel special about the Liger...bred for it's skills in magic.I also love watching the poker, Father Ted and best program ever made...One Foot in the Grave. Absolute classic, makes me cry laughing and just goes to show with it's dark side, the best humour is ALWAYS rooted in despair. You ever seen a comedian who's secure in themselves? Thought not, why do you think clowns wear make up?
Books:
Don't get too much time to read, but I like my graphic novels, love Batman and anything by Neil Gaiman. 'Prince of Tides' although the paper gets a bit soggy. 'Flight From Deathrow' by Harry Hill is HILARIOUS. If you want serious, try some Dave Pelzer...stunning reading, sorts the men from the boys. Just don't expect to come out smiling.
Heroes:
Batman. I know he's not real, but I still appreciate him for what he represents and I don't mean truth and justice. He's a man who clings on no matter what adversity is thrown at him. Like I said, just keep swimming, just keep swimming.I'd also love to meet Vanilla Ice, if me and Robbie Williams had a night out it would make headlines AND casualty and I'd also love to meet Pete Steele, Scotty Too Hotty and the mighty Hulk Hogan. Chance encounters with Salma Hayek, Lita, Angelina Jolie and Brody Dalle would be welcomed for purely lustful reasons. I'd also love to go on the beer with Ross Noble 'coz the randomness would cabbage the heads of everyone around us. I find it quite alarming that people say listening to him is like having a conversation with me but he's still the funniest dude on the planet.Heroes are meant inspire you to change the way you live your life. I am lucky enough to have met my hero. They inspired me to change the way I live my life. It changed me for the better and led to a time when I was the happiest I have ever been. Now I realise I need to change the way I live my life in another area. If I can, it will change me for the better, but sadly, coming to realise that I need to make that change has made me the saddest I can remember.
