About Me

I'm a musician who's currently rushed off his feet in a tide of "stuff", however, when I'm not desperately rushing from one chore to the next, I like going out and meeting people, dancing, drinking & talking bollocks. People tend to think I'm less smart than I do, but I like it that way 'cos you can get away with more... I used to stretch my lips when I was a kid 'cos I wanted to be Steven Tyler. I blow on icecream. I can, and will, do pub quizzes in my sleep.

My Interests

"You will be amused when you see that I have more than once deceived without the slightest qualm of conscience, both knaves and fools. As to the deceit perpetrated upon women, let it pass, for, when love is in the way, men and women as a general rule dupe each other. But on the score of fools it is a very different matter. I always feel the greatest bliss when I recollect those I have caught in my snares, for they generally are insolent, and so self-conceited that they challenge wit. We avenge intellect when we dupe a fool, and it is a victory not to be despised for a fool is covered with steel and it is often very hard to find his vulnerable part. In fact, to gull a fool seems to me an exploit worthy of a witty man. I have felt in my very blood, ever since I was born, a most unconquerable hatred towards the whole tribe of fools, and it arises from the fact that I feel myself a blockhead whenever I am in their company." -Giovanni Giacomo Casanova

Stress stress stress.

Gah. The landlord just left me a message asking me to call him. This either means my rent cheque just bounced, or he wants to complain about the state of the house. We spent NINE days cleaning and red...
