One Step Closer

About Me

I'm Simon. Half way to 40 and reminded of it constantly.
I work at Fujitsu at the moment, and have for about a year now. I'm one of those people who doesn't mind going to work - I like the people I work with!
I'm a slow eater but I love my food. I'll try anything once!
I like to write blogs - long or short, even if people don't read them. I don't like reading them months on though. I'm aware how much my thoughts change from month to month. It's quite weird sometimes. Things I wrote six months ago seem like weird nonsense now! But I'll keep them there because although they're odd to me they're no less relevant now than they were then.
MUSIC: unbelievably important. Everyone has to have a beat or a riff in their lives! It doesn't matter what it is - just get enjoyment from it!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Freud...I think he'd be an interesting drinking buddy. But he'd probably say that my beer was a liquid-based symbol for my MUM. I'd probably end up slapping him.
Would maybe also like to meet a philosopher...

Music:

I like an increasingly broad range. Metallica, Rob Zombie, Arch Enemy, Foo Fighters, Wednesday 13, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, Atreyu, Pantera, Megadeth, Killswitch Engage, Queens of the Stone Age, The White Stripes, Queen, 36 Crazyfists and loads more!

Movies:

A bit into horror and comedy. Favourites include Shaun of the Dead, Snatch, Friday the 13th (all), A Nightmare on Elm Street (all), The Devil's Rejects, Hot Fuzz and loads more.

Television:

Friends, Scrubs, Family Guy, American Dad, The 4400 and Waking the Dead.

Books:

The Discworld novels are old favourites. I also love Douglas Adams's Hitch-hikers books - they are pure genious.

My Blog

Revolution Begins

The other day Sam was complaining that I post useless, short blogs. So I thought in the spirit of proving him wrong I'd write down all my thoughts and put them into a big blog. You'd better read this,...

Omega

What a skeletal wreck of man this is. Translucent flesh and feeble bones, The kind of temple where the whores and villians try to tempt the holistic tomes. Running rampant with free thought to free...

Odds & Frauds

Sad as it might seem I'm actually quite enjoying spending a Friday night sitting writing this. It seems rare at the moment that I get a night off! I have nothing in particular to write about, I just ...
