do you ever think it's come too far?

About Me


i am me and you are she and we all stand together

adapting to a life of regular sleeping patterns and responsible living. the adaptation process is moving slowly

i live beyond my means, but hopefully outwith the realms of my imagination, one day. i live in what seems like constant turmoil, ever present ridiculous issues that people get too involved in. and that does include myself.

just started a 'proper' job in dunblane. product sales, we'll see what that entails and how it develops. still working to fill the essay shaped void, one of the more pleasing tasks of the moment

i like music, lots more than i would bore you with here. i play i write i listen i collect i love

gigs, the best i have been to was the stands at the oran mor in glasgow, manyh others were also fun

i can't afford the time i am spending on here but my lack of conscience and self discipline makes everything okay

i firmly belive that everything will be okay in the end, whatever and wherever the end may be

the greatest song of all time is floating in the air somewhere and i'm determined i will find it one morning. sing me a song while i look...

i want to go here:


put some soul in the world

My Interests

Music in any of its forms: buying, listening, reading about, playing, writing, learning about, experiencing and absorbing.

Playing guitar quite often saves me from myself and replaces frustrations and fears and worries and sadness with a strange out of self feeling that removes me temporarily from what is really going on.

I like reading. Not so much reading my course textbooks about auditing and finance but books that I enjoy, books that consume me and allow me to fall into their pages.

I like going drives at night when everyone is in bed with some tunes on the radio and the windows down getting wet in the summer and cold in the spring and arriving somewhere in a different season from the place you left.

I miss the beach, I love all night beach parties with bonfires that burn brilliantly for an hour then start to die over a period of hours with everyone huddled round drinking warm cider and singing typical bonfire songs with acoustic guitars that still smell of bonfire.

I recently discovered that I really like writing aswell. Not anything in particular, just writing down thoughts as they appear and disappear and writing about music and life and girls and friends and those pretending to be friends and those pretending to be what they wish they could be.

I'd like to meet:

how it's the same person over and over, new faces, the same actions. They, regardless of circumstance, manage to treat you like a fucking dick. so sorry i dared ask a question that made you feel a l...
