Rob

Well, I am Rob, I play guitar and I rock out...I'm just a general normal kind of a guy (hopefully), I used to be good at sports, now I’m just average at everything. I sleep to much, have dreams of a camper van and driving my arse around some random places and just doing stuff till I bite the dust. I've managed to score some pretty long hair though (which rules) and I used to study Sociology (which does not rule as much as long hair), sociology got me down. Now I study Music (which rules as much as long hair). I don’t want my studies to take me anywhere, I want to do my own thing, become a self made man! I’d prefer to stay illiterate (sometimes I wish I were, then I wont come across as being so dense!!!). I dislike as many things as a like and I have the sneaking suspicion that I might be fairly useless.Of all the things that I do best, I know at least 10 people who do them better than me. I'm still happy in my role.I thread a tale together like no one else... My mind fluctuates and pulses in odd ways... My thinking pattern is offbeat at best. I tend to out-think even myself (hence the confused look. Most people will go yeah, I get it... I find myself going the long way around before understanding). I have epic ideas.I'm really uptight about spelling on txt messages and other messages, often replying just to correct the spelling and grammar (ironic really, because I’m truly shit at spelling)I actually do play guitar. I've been playing a long time and I have the ability to convince everyone that I’m really good, however, this is not true. I hide behind my superior equipment and the fact I play so loud i can hide the mistakes. I like playing guitar anyways, makes me look cool (sometimes). I can play a little of just about every other instrument I can think of. But in my old age I'm sure I’ll start to forget! In the past few months it seems I am terminally tired.I like sleeping, a lot. Its one of the great hobbies of mine. I rate sleeping next to drinking Guinness in the list of my favorite things to do. Infact, I like just laying around in bed, that’s good enough for me!I'm partial to sporadic outbursts of brilliance in every field, followed by a large mass of mediocrity.I'm busy getting my studio together to record my album. I don’t even know what it will be like, but the studio... ahhh the studio. To live the dream! My only want in life, the only thing that will provide me with the financial wellbeing to survive (aside from becoming a major rock god) would be to have my own studio. That is the dream. My own place of musical creation. I would sacrifice everything (again) for that dream! AND THE ALBUM!!!! God damn, which one should I start with? I have several albums I need to record, mostly all different style. I'm putting the heavy metal and classic rock albums on hold until I have released my collection of mellow grunge/acoustic/smooth stoner chillout albums. I have three written and will probably have another three written by the time I end up recording them! I go through songwriting moods and movements. I try to write everyday or as close to as I can, but find I have days where everything is terrible puerile generic singles chart dribble, and then I find I have a few hours of non stop glorious songwriting towards the caliber that would make Mark Lanegan happy! I often day dream so much my head hurts, and I probably believe in the supernatural things.I've managed to throw something that could have been quite brilliant and awesome away without knowing how I did it, what I did or what I could have done to not throw it away. Its the revolving acceptance of the question. I know its my fault, but how is it my fault? The urge to get wasted is strong!I don’t like driving, even though its all I seem to do at the moment. I am however excellent at driving... To tell the truth I’m fucking breathtaking at driving! I have an oldschool Beetle, I'm going to hot rod it. It will be big pimping, I doubt it will get me laid though :( I also have the memory of a goldfish, I've developed it in my old age, took years of practice and probably a few too many beers.I don’t believe in depression. I sometimes feel a little 'low' or maybe 'down' but never depressed. Its a state of mind, you feel how you want to feel. When I feel a little low or down, its because I want to. Certain times you have to. Like when there is too much going on and it gets a little too much for you, one of those days where its best to find a quiet corner and just watch. Depression is more a fashion statement now, the I must feel depressed because it might make me look cool thinking. I despise that. You feel how you want to, no more, no less.I used to play rugby, but I’m retired now. Too old, its a young mans game! I am trying to make a comeback. I say trying, its all dependant on if I can be bothered. However, I hate the general Rugby mentality and the Rugby Club mentality. It is a truly distorted semi-fascist public school dictated view of how a male should be, how he should dress and look and regards any change from the generic as a definite threat which should be immediately dragged into the generic zone without haste and with as much assistance as can be given whilst trying desperately to stay within the boundaries of the law. I think the next sports I shall get involved with must be truly athletic and righteous... I'm thinking Darts, Snooker and Fishing???My former band Das Hasselhoffs (look below) kind of ruled, but now its time to move on. But the Happyhour will take of and make so much noise that we'll be arrested! That is if this happyhour band ever comes together... With the intermission of the Hoff's I have been putting different forms of this band together for far too many years... Maybe I'm too picky with selections like this. Maybe I’m far too personal with my dreams and trying to live them?It’s a very dangerous time for one to be oneself. And its an even more dangerous time to be myself! And its pretty much deadly for anyone to try and be me... I have a feeling that any average person could not handle it and would break down. Its not that my life is stressful, its just different to the norm by a vast margin. At least I hope it is and its what I like to tell myself.I truly detest any TV show that has the word 'Celebrity' in it.I don’t really like anyone that classes themselves as a classification or genre. I label abuse at them at every given opportunity. People are people, not a classification. Some may be cool, some may be fuckwits, but they are people.Grumpy, me? Maybe... Honest, I hope so! I like Cherries.I am a musician, an artist, a writer, a poet, an engineer, a veritable polymath as well as a true social pillar and all things to all men as well as a tender lover...But on a lighter note, I basically like Curry and Guinness... Oh, and rock music...
