About Me


Hi, I'm Martin. I'm a student studying "Digital Film and 3D Animation" at Stafford University and on weekends when I feel like earning some money I work in a hospital as a porter/cleaner/caterer...basically whatever they need me for.
I have an new-found obsession with CD's and spend way too much money buying them off amazon and ebay, it doesn't matter that I'm running out of money and I need to buy food...as long as I have music in the form of a shiny round disc I will be happy :)
I enjoy going out drinking with friends, eating chinese food, watching Coronation Street, getting things post (who doesn't!), falling asleep listening to Buckethead's "Electric Tears" album, dancing badly to music I'm impartial to, instrumental music and guitars.
Not a big fan of early mornings, one-sided conversations, spaghetti (because I always, without fail, get in a mess...and always when I'm in a white shirt), emmerdale and, ofcourse, Jackie Chan's "City Hunter".
If there's anything else you'd like to know just ask :-)
