It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

About Me



I was born at an early age where I did stuff, grew up then did a little bit more. After that I discovered the Irish hobby that is alcohol. I'm informed that I did more things then. I still refuse to belive that I was in the room at the time I did them however.

My Interests



Planetary may indeed be one of the greatest comic books ever written.

Comics are the most maligned form of art nowadays. Well...... probably!

I'd like to meet:

Trent Reznor, Warren Ellis (if you're reading this Warren, when are you coming to Ireland), John Cassaday.

Amongst the super cool people I've had the honour of meeting are Mark Buckingham, Neil Gaiman and Sean Phillips.

Music:



Back in July. my friend Dave and I travelled to London to see the Nine Inch Nails Play live.
After being a fan for almost 14 years it was a dream come true to get to see Mr Reznor live and loud. It'd be nice to meet him at some stage.

The New album With_Teeth is unlike any other sound out there.

I've been a Billy Joel fan since I was 6 pretty much.

Movies:

There's the good bad and indifferent for me. I appreciate the value of mental popcorn. I still think someone should have put a plastic bag over Adam Sandlers head years ago. I have a tendancy to watch almost anything as I see the artistic value in them. I've only ever walked out of 5 movies in my life. (please note that I did sit through Battlefield Earth and The Avengers) I've walked out of Bridget Jones Diary, Belleville Rendezvous, American Spleandour, Ulysses and the other dire (O)Irish movie The Honeymooners.

I scored 94% scarely enough.
.. You scored as Jayne Cobb. The Mercenary. You are in this for the money, plain as that. You like things simple that way, but mainly as anything else confuses you. You get the job done, and don't care what people think. Not as long as you get paid anyway.

Television:

This has nothing to do with television but I wanted to post this on my profile page....
It's a picture of Katherine taken in early june 2002 before she returned home to san diego.
I remember the night vividly. we sat in the local bar Humphreys and chatted about life the universe and everything for hours. When our time drew to a close I said goodbye and put her on a bus and I promised her that I'd write to her. As the bus pulled away that evening I wondered truly if I'd ever see her again.
The next day I woke and wrote my first e-mail to Katherine. The photograph I had taken was developed in the following week.
People always like having photos to remind them of the people and times that they wish to keep with them always.
People always like to recall the way things were when they started to fall in love.
I'm lucky.
This photo is both for me. Some people would kill for memories like this.

I love you Katherine.


Heroes:

There's that whole hero thing....following on from Katherine taking the inuyasha quiz and then us trying to locate the videogame in the uk format I took the test myself.
Your Sango! When your not on the field training or
doing sports you are shy and quiet, you do your
homework and always turn it in on time, yet you
are always looking for a bit more from life.

What Inuyasha Character are you?
brought to you by QuizillaI got Sango. Apparently only 6% of the 115 thousand people to take the test got that result. Kinda scary. Ironically enough she's actually my favourite character in the game, although I've never seen a full episode of inuyasha
