*I'm was a Fucking guitarist by trade, but I no longer crave validation from that tarnished fraternity. I now plan to earn my keep in the canopies of PLANET EARTH
some quotes:
Remember, when you walk up to a tree - to climb it, to work in it, to fell it - you are betting your knowledge, experience, and common sense that you'll accomplish your goal without an accident.
This is the lore of tree work that makes it exciting for some, and fearful for others. ~ G.F. Beranek

Arbolist … Look up the word. I don't know, maybe I made it up. Anyway, it's an arbo-tree-ist, somebody who knows about trees."
—George W. Bush, as quoted in USA Today, Aug. 21, 2001
Hanging by the thread, 50' up playing with a power cutting tool that could instantly cut the thread is freaking crazy.

*I believe in something after death, couldn't tell you exactlly what, tho.
*I have pagan beliefs, so I love nature and all it's little critters.
*Communal Anarchy would be nice, but it's human nature to take, so that's out of the window.
*Anyway, way too heavy. I'm into good music {see left).
*I have lots of pet hates, but I get pleasure from a lot of things, too.
*I am single, but housetrained
*I'm NOT a Vegan anymore, although I don't eat much meat dairy etc :s It all went downhill when i started to enjoy cooking and eating...
*I have a beautiful 3 1/6 year old daughter called Rosie, who lives far far away. I have plans to reduce that distance considerably in the near future
*I'd say that I was a walking contradiction, but i'd probably have to say i'm not, just to contradict myself.
*My dirty little secret effects everyone who knows and/or respects me. It will never be revealed, yet it concerns me at times.
*I think everyone has virtually equal worth and have a forgiving attitude to those who are lost and behaving atrociously.
*I can always find some time if anyone needs an ear that's connected to a pair of tight lips.
*There's lots more to me so drop me a line if you care to learn more.
*XThanxX*

*I get concerned when someone says they would never, or have never tried anyhigh but booze and the fags. Or weed. That's just crap. I also get worried when people say they can't have a good time on just booze.

My Interests

Having a band, gardening, tree climbing, chainsaw carving, bowling, shopping, cooking, beaching it, taking photos of myself shouting/screaming, eating beans around campfires in the woods with my band, reading, throwing stones in buckets or at cans, picking strawberries and herbs and chillis from my garden, blah blah blah

I'd like to meet:

*MUSICIANS, especially guys who don't just play guitar/bass or drums.
*People with guns/bows/explosives for me to play with.
* Also a femme who might be interested in an odd-bod like me; someone quick witted and passionate, confident but not egotistical, and open minded in all avenues of life.
*That'd be lovely...

*~*~*~*~*~*~ My con Sarn'd Band ~*~*~*~*~*~*

WILD WEST PIRATES

This is 'Heart's a Mess' by Goyte. I found it off of an Australian. Observe...

Music:

*****
Muse - Invincible; what can I say? I have been obsessed with it since I got the album. Now you must all enjoy it as it is their new single!
***
For those who still know me when I die, make sure it's played at my funeral

*
Many, many influences. I used to be quite closed minded-into rock only, but I have since opened my mind quite a lot.* it'd be quicker to list what I Don't like. *'Dance' music, boy bands, whiney indie (coldplay, snow patrol, keane, U2 etc.). Frank Zappa and Tom Waits are my favorite solo artists. *Zeppelin, MUSE, Outkast, Electric 6, Mars Volta/At the Drive-in, Maiden, Old Aerosmith, THE TRACHTENBURG FAMILY SLIDESHOW PLAYERS, The Darkness, Datsuns, Snot, System Of a Down, Queen, Queens, backyard babies, Buckcherry, Jamiroquai, Classic Van Halen and the Chili's are my favorite i can think of them right now bands.* Also Oldie Jazz, Some classical, Prince and Confusing music is, i guess, what i like. Billy talent i like the sound of but haven't got into, yet. I loves the GLC, and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Daa Band, too.*i like Grieg, Bach, Mendelsohn, Mussorgsky as far as classics are concerned. *those are my favoritest composeurs, eva. *also love curtis mayfield, james brown, Bob marley, Sinatra, elvis, taj mahal and PROG!!! *i like pj harvey and Brody dalle, alanis morrisette, as far as ladies go, tho tarrie b's voice is cool, too.* just gettin into Libertines, Razorlight, Biffy Clyro, The Killers, Herbie hancock and i love muse, again.

Movies:

Too many to list, sir.
Fight Club, Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas, Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Idlewild, Tideland, V for Vendetta, Donnie Darko, Faust, Adam Sandler stuff, Kevin Smith stuff, LOTR, Leon, Dog soldiers, 28 Days Later, City of God, Battle Royale, Jacobs Ladder, Bound and Bride of chucky for the jennifer tilly, Tarantino stuff, Disney's robin hood, The monty Python films, although i fucking hate it when people quote them, 12 monkeys, Bram stoker's dracula, Waynes worlds, stoned age, Shaun of the dead, Quills, the football factory,Porky's 1,2,3, American Pies, jackie chan stuff, spoofy films like i'm gonna get you sucka, arty foreign films if i'm in the mood, Three Kings, The farelly brothers stuff, the 1st matrix, Bad Santa, Memento, The Deer Hunter, Full Metal Jacket, 12Monkeys Super size me, The Life Aquatic, cohen brothers stuff (big lebowski, oh brother where art thou etc.) I'm bored now...

*Neighbours ROCKS!!!*

Books:

Authors: James Herbert, William Golding, Hunter S. Thompson, J.R.R Tolkien, Mark Steel, Desmond Morris, Graham Masterton, Michel Houellebecq, Anthony Bourdain and Steven King. also like Clive Barker. My tastes have changed a bit lately and i mainly read books about stuff (science, politics, history, etc) rather than novels. my favorite books are lord of the rings, lord of the flies, lord of the manor and lord of the dance also; the inheritors by golding,the great and secret show by barker , the talisman and misery by stephen king, and once and others by james herbert. *Check out Mark Steel's new book 'reasons to be cheerful' if you want to know about britain's political history in the eighties; well worth the read*
I've been reading WAR books lately cause WAR is where it's at (haha shoot me now) Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNabb and Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy. I'm also reading much George Orwell as I found a load of his books somewhere; 'The Decline of the Great English Murder and other stoies', 'Down and Out in Paris and London', '1984'. I've also read some graphic novels, Notably 'Maus' and 'V for Vendetta', by Alan more and another bloke. I'm also reading a lot about trees, as I am doing an RFS Certificate in Arboriculture (tree herding)Harooooouuummm....

Heroes:

Tom Waits (his voice was rasping away in my ears as i ploughed my half-decent Polo into the Central reservation of the M4 outside Llanelli 70mph; I couldn't have been in better company...), Everyone in the mothers of invention, including frank zappa.All my musical heroes are listed in bands, really. Anthony Bourdain,
Christopher Walken, Christopher Lee, Jeniffer Tilly, Bach, Kevin Smith, the green fairy, Me, You, Meibion Glyndwr, Aleister Crowley, Nature, and everybody who couldn't give less of a fuck about 'growing up'...
You are an Elementalist. Your magic stems from the
forces of nature. You might be a forest
nuturing Druid, a storm-creating Weather-Wizard
or any of the many Elementals, but one thing is
sure-- your bond with nature is strong. You can
rely heavily on nature to support yourself
aesthetically or physically for it lends you
both comfort and strength. Your instincts
rarely fail you. You are vibrantly passionate
but are sometimes carried away by your own
emotions.
