you say it's not the real world, though it seems so real to me

About Me


Me eh? It all started several decades ago on a medium sized island in the Aegean sea when one particularly spectacular sperm divebombed a giant egg (a human egg, fortunately) and the whole resulting mess embarked on various complicated and probably disgusting transformations which culminated, to the greatest extent twenty or so years later in the formation of an adult human male. Everything that happened in between is complicated, confusing or, for the most part, boring.The human male which formed isn't exactly a prime specimen, but he'll do. He's certainly not good enough to be referring to himself in the third person so I'll stop now. I'm quite a friendly chap with a passionate like of music, getting creative, films, books, godzillas and various other things. I don't like angry, angry scallies, mothras, boring things, and stampeding Great-White Shark/Spider combinations. I'm not a genius at cooking but I can make a passable omlette. Also I'm an English and History student at the wonderful Salford University where I have experienced being punched in the face by someone I was trying to calm down. I tend to ramble when I'm talking, commonly going on long, often pointless rants about something I can't actually do anything about. There are other things about me that are true, but I've not got the time or energy to write them all. In fact I have both of those qualities in my possession. I'm just lazy. That's one last truth.I also have another, infinitely more pretentious blog at www.smilesmilesmilesmile.blogspot.com
Also, my ideal attitude to life (although often surprisingly hard to live by) is summed up in this quote:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference.

Hurrah for cleaning up my myspace

Figured it was about time I made my myspace remotely usable again, so I deleted millions of people, hurrah! Hopefully I won't get invited to blindingly stupid amounts of events now!

Off to uni again!

Yep, it's that time of year again where uni once again calls me back to the slog! The only, horrible, difference is that this year's the last one, which fills me with a mixture of 'OH HOLY CHRIST ALIV...

Horoscopes, pah!

My horoscope told me today to sleep more, which considering I woke up at midday today would pretty much work out with me sleeping permanently. What would I have to gain from me being in a coma? Perhap...

The great freedom of expression debate.

Well, it's an interesting one really. There's apparantly an art exhibition on in Iran at the moment displaying cartoons about the holocaust of the Jews during the second world war, with the organisers...
