About Me

I'm a chilled, relaxed fella from London, and I never know what to write in these things - I guess I'm quite sarcastic and due to the internet I'm getting an addiction of really bad conspiract theories. I generally hate the blandness of most TV and nearly anything that passes as chart music - I also really hate Bono. I mean seriously, real hatred. Organised religion and big corporations also suck, so there!!!I suppose I could call myself an ex-goth (used to have all the long black hair, too much silver jewellry and badly put on eyeliner!!) and now live in the arse end of the world in Croydon, just outside London!!!Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!
