About Me

Someone who puts their social life over pretty much every other life form. I play in a band, Another Day Lost, we are good, I think. Either way, the kids are gonna love it.

My Interests

Music (playing drums and guitar, listening, going to gigs), writing gig reviews (I'd like to write for a music mag one day, but it probably won't happen), taking photos at gigs (I would also like to take photos, but knowing nothing about cameras and owning one thats probably worth around 20 quid doesn't help this at all), drums, dancing hard (running around in big circles), lazy days down the pub with the jukebox (preferably the Hawley arms, Camden or the Hobgoblin, Brighton, with lots of punk, ska and the Cramps), going for endless walks around London and finding new and exciting places, wasting away hours in independent music shops and making my neck stiff from looking down too much, piercings (I'm addicted, I have 2 nipple bars, 2 holes in the left ear and an ever expanding one in the right-it was 10mm on 28/06/06) tattoos( four, fist in a fireball on right thigh, a cool South Pacific face mask on my nave-the size of a cd- and a star on either side of my chest-see my photos), politics (the parties all suck but its funny to talk about why they suck so much), jack daniel's and any good bourbons (preferably wild turkey or bulliet), films (mainly psychological thrillers and horror, but ill watch anything-except fucking teen and high school movies), journalism (travel, music, food, political), food and cooking (my faves are-chilli con carne, spag bol-with mushrooms-, salmon and most fish, anything with chicken, The Eagle pub in Brighton-amazingly huge and tasty roasts at a reasonable price!!)

I'd like to meet:

people who don't suck. In today's world this may take a while.

Clockwork orange, Lock Stock, Land of the dead, Closer, Team America, Sin City, House of 1000 corpses/Devil's Rejects, Any bond film, Star Wars (the originals!!), Back to the future trilogy, Lord of the rings trilogy etc etc.

Television:

..is by and large, a pile of wank, but I find myself drawn to intelligent, thought provoking nature programs and documentaries as well as Futurama, Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park, Doctor Who, the BBC weather, Brasseye, Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, The Mighty Boosh, Top Buzzer, plus many other similar things.

Books:

The Beach, Clockwork Orange, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Buddha of Suburbia, Trainspotting. I haven't really read much else, but I'm planning to, honest!

Heroes:

I look up to Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. In pretty much every way. Just listen to his self-deprecating lyrics and then think to yourself why I like to put myself down a little..and drink lots of beer...and dress the way I do.Yeah.
