The Birth Of A Dreamer

About Me


Well erm, Hey!! I'm Ash! or Shlay/Shley as I've been nicknamed as of late. I'm from 'the' greatest city in South West England! Some may argue this point to no end but who wouldn't say it about their own city?! Oh the City is Bristol if you haven't caught on already lol :-p It's a great place to walk around, which funnily enough I do quite alot. Lots of great people here also. And alot of friends I care about. Much love to ya'll
I like to live in the past, kinda like when you system restore a computer back to a point when it last worked properly. That's the idea I fashion in my head anyway.. Quite silly in all honesty, but it's where I feel most comfortable.
I work at Yellow pages, with all the 'over paid cool kids' ( Thanks for that Miss Emily!) And I am one of the fortunate ones to actually love my job, and the people I've met through it are fucking awesome and a good laugh!
But Moving on!
There are very few things I dislike I guess, a few things do stand out in my mind that really do fuck me off royally, but it's very rare that you would find Me saying a bad thing bout a person, Cos in all honesty Life is really too short! But I do care too much, especially about the little things, and that's pretty much my downfall! Always worrying about something, being paranoid, always facing some kind of decision/choice in my mind. And that probably contributes to me being horribly indecisive aswell...that's something I have to sort out.. I doubt it will ever be sorted though..*rolls eyes*
But to say the least I'm one of the decent guys, I will tell you the truth, even if the truth hurts. I am only human, I make mistakes, but I can truly say I'm genuine, and I try to be the best person I can.
Music is one of the biggest parts of my life, it determines what mood I'm in, how I feel etc I play guitar too, I try to practice as much as possible now, but it's quite difficult as I'm at work 5 days a week, I still think I'm pretty awesome at it though lol
And the best way to hear me play guitar (other than asking me to serenade you) is through these bands, which go by the names of...
Lay To Rest (www.myspace.com/laytorestgb) [RIP?]
Dawn Of Exile (www.myspace.com/dawnofexileband)
I'm a massive In Flames fan and metal fan in general! but I do like alot of other stuff, basically, I'm just into beautiful music, so be it if it's a hard hitting metal track or a Bryan Adams ballad or a nice classical piece. (I love Vivaldi)And as many people might say and claim, I can really say music is my life.
Please feel free to add me, and get to know Me if you wish!

My Interests



I love Music, as I've stated somewhere over there! It is my life! I play guitar, Which I guess I'm pretty fucking good at!

I'm surprisingly good at sports aswell, which may be hard to imagine on first glance! Basketball, Football, Badminton, Golf, Snooker (yes it is a sport) These are a few that I love

I love philosophy, It interests me a great deal and I can philosophise quite a bit when I'm in the mood!

I used to be a very keen Martial Artist until I gave it up to continue on my music trail last year, I was a Red Sash in Hung Gar Kuen Kung Fu. So I'm outta practice and very unfit at the moment :-P But soon I'm looking to get back into it again.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wouldn't mind chatting to me and stuffs, I get on well with many people! Same interests or whatever I don't mind! I just like to make new friends :-)

Unusual Turn Of Events
