Don't worry...be happy :)

About Me

Well, I'm an easy-going kinda guy. I Like to try new things and just generally enjoy life and not take anything too seriously :) I try and not make assumptions about people and always try to see the good in someone. Yeah, I know - I'm too nice! ;) I'm a musician so love music and always have half an ear tuned in to something. I'm an optimist and believe that if you work at something, no matter how hard or how steep the goal, you'll get there in the end! I've also got my own music page on here:www.myspace.com/jodycooper -Check it out if you fancy and let me know what you think...Well, I think that about covers it. So, if you're like me and enjoy talking about anything and nothing, feel free to say hello! :)..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile Editor

My Interests

Err...do I put music here as well? lol. Films of all kinds. Exploring interesting places. Computer games (sometimes - I'm not a total nut! hehe). Swimming (though not very good at it). Drawing. Like going to gigs and anything arty. I'll go to pubs but much prefer something a little less obvious. Reading the odd book (and not so odd too hehe ;)). Archery. Going to the beach, forest or anything outdoors :)

I'd like to meet:

Hey, I have no agenda! Just take it as it comes...

Music:

Here is a few of my favourite things: Crowded House, The Beatles (heard them a bit too much but they still have a special place in my heart), Queen, David Bowie, The Police, Karine Polwart, Damien Rice, Kraftwerk's "Man Machine" album, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Keane, Massive Attack, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Neil Finn and Finn brothers, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Doobie Brothers, R.A.T.M, Death Cab for Cutie, Johnny Cash, Nirvana, The Strokes, Red Hot Chillis (sometimes!), REM, Elton John (old stuff), Al Green, Supergrass, The Knack's "My Sharona" (it rocks!), Jimi Hendrix, Nick Drake, Otis Redding, Peter Gabriel, Gorrilaz.Anything with a good tune basically...except maybe country! I like a good bit of ROCK but I'm pretty eclectic in my tastes so anything from classical to rock to reggae,etc. I've even been known to listen to the odd bit of jazz now and then!

Movies:

Anything that reminds me of being a kid! Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, etc. I love the Alien films (though the last one was a bit crap though) and like a bit of horror. I'll watch most films but when I go to the cinema I like it to be full-on as well so big-budget blockbusters are always good for entertainment. Having said that I thought Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was brilliant.

Television:

Don't watch that much, but I like the old classics like Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, etc. I'm still a sucker for stuff like The A-Team! Green Wing, Family Guy. Anything funny or factual, scary or sci-fi usually gets my attention...except for fly-on-the-wall documentaries - yuck!

Books:

The Curious Incident of the Dead Dog in the Nightime (or something like that!) - thought it was really cleverly done and funny to read :) Bram Stoker's Dracula. I like a bit of everything really...fact and fiction.

Heroes:

Nah - Don't need heroes! :)
