About Me

i have a doggy and his name is benne, i changed my relationship status cos it was "in relationship" and i have no idea why but i was too lazy to change it, but my friend mikey pestered me....he doesn't even have myspace, he just wants to be correct.....perhaps he thinks girls talk to me cos i'm safe and if i change it to single they'll assume i'm just 1 of them sleazy guys (but without the customary topless photo) and then never talk to me again :D

Television:

the 1 in the lounge is some kinda sony widescreen, then theres some more in peoples bedrooms and stuff but i can't be bothered to go round and look at the makes of them....i'm not that sad! who the hell is so obsessed with what type of television people have anyway? odd :S. (i thought this was funny at the time of writing, i'm keeping it here just to show you how wrong people can be, stay in school)

Books:

erm i'm reading rebel without a crew by robert rodriguez, it's fantastic and was amazingly hard to get hold of but knowing my luck they'll re-release it and it'll be easy to get and nobody will see my struggle. after that i have a jeremy clarkson book, all quiet on the western front and the contortionists handbook lined up. john irving rules, i like him :) i also like is it...joseph heller? that name comes into my head, i think it's the name of the guy who wrote catch 22. aswell as that i've read most of nick hornbys books, dave gorman, danny wallace, danny king. i've got some kevin smith screenplays and his essay book, the diceman is good and i've read an irvine welch book....i also have some michael moore books but i read 1 and a half and realised (well i realised it before but i got a new book at that point so decided i wouldn't read his propaganda anymore) that he talks as much bullshit as the politicians he attacks. And people who say his films are good no not what they're talking about, i admit i'd like to see "roger and me" cos i'm sure back then the guy had passion and didn't partake in little schoolboy antics! the trailer to "bowling for columbine" was near perfect, i really wanted to see it....and then i did and it turned out to be shit, he can't ask a question to save his life, his statistics are very suspicious, of course there are more gun related deaths in america than britain! it's huge!!! yet people liked it because it's anti-america and anti-corporate! well fuck that....anyway thats enough about my books ;)

Heroes:

Bas Rutten!!!
