"Raise the Riff": Tuesdays, 3-4pm on lsr

I exist purely for my own amusement and enjoyment, so you'd better get used to it!

About Me

Hi I'm Tom, I'm 19 and I study Philosophy at the University of Leeds. I like music (I'm on the committee for Leeds Rock Society and play bass guitar) as well as reading, films, retro-style video games and cartoons. I haven't given much serious thought to any possible career but music journalism is something I am definitely considering; I already have a bit of experience writing for my student newspaper.I'm quite an odd person. To some, I'm very serious, uptight, old-fashioned and unsociable. To people I actually feel are worth my time an effort, I'm loud, childish, cheeky and very animated. I very much doubt anyone knows the real me; even I'm not sure who I am, lol!I've never been one to fit into a crowd because I hate trends and fashions. I think people who are preocuppied with such things are very sad individuals who have no idea how to live their life under their own influence. These people think they're happy and popular but they're not. I on the other hand like to do what I want, wear what I want and say what I want, regardless of what other people think of me. Consequently, some people respect me for daring to be different whereas others, like a lot of people I went to school with, think I'm just a sad weirdo. Well, whatever they say, I'm happy with myself and that's the important thing. Maybe some of you expect me to say that these people can "go fuck themselves" or something but I don't hate these people, I pity them.Another very big part of my life is my girlfriend Rhiannon. I love her to bits! She's a lot like me in many ways; little, cheeky, outspoken, childish and completely barking mad! We've both had to put up with a lot of shit in our lives, whilst feeling that no one understands us as individuals, so we're so glad that we found each other. I can't imagine being without her now.Anyway, I think that's enough pouring my heart out for now so ttfn (I hope I don't have to tell anyone what that means!)

Hobbies Playing my bass guitar, Leeds Rock Society, Leeds Student Newspaper (Music Section), collecting "classic rock" CDs
Things I hate Shallow/narrow-minded people, hot temperatures, people with low self-esteem and/or pessimists, dishonest and insincere people, rudeness, Emo/Indie kids, the NME and all that read it (narrow-minded, trendy, elitist twats!), Paris Hilton, Jade Goody, Pete Doherty, any other complete wastes-of-fucking-space that I've neglected to mention, bad spelling, punctuation and grammar (especially grammar; learn to talk and write properly, arsehole!), people, i.e. girls, that don't return my calls (if you don't like me, then tell me!), hardcore fundamentalists (Christian, Islamic, feminist; they're all as bad as one another!), chavs, or scallies, or townies or whatever you call them (I think the American equivalents would be rednecks and gangstas), cynisicm/skepticism (particularly when it comes to religion, the supernatural and music), people who, in the music section of their myspace profile, say that they like "everything", people who don't like Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Dragonforce, Rush or KISS (I'm usually quite open-minded, but I've got to draw the line somewhere!)

I'd like to meet:

Steve Harris - Doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks of him, which I really admire. And he founded IRON FUCKING MAIDEN! Gene Simmons - A very opinionated individual and arguably the greatest rock and roll businessman of all time. I admire him like there's no tomorrow! Frederick Nietzsche - Completely bonkers so he'd be great to talk to! Matt Groening - He invented The Simpsons and Futurama; what other reasons do I need!? Seth MacFarlane - For the same reasons as Matt Groening, only substitute Family Guy and American Dad for The Simpsons and Futurama Sir Winston Churchill - Just to shake his hand; where would we be without him? Lemmy - I'm not a huge Motorhead fan but he's such an icon and is an inspiration to millions. Richard III - I studied him for my A level history coursework and I want to find out what really happened to The Princes in the Tower!Apart from those people: -Anyone interesting, anyone who refuses to conform to the ideas of "fashionable", "cool", "normal" and especially "trendy", anyone whose profile stops me dead in my tracks, anyone with an open mind, anyone spiritually optimistic, who believes in true love and everlasting happiness, anyone beautiful, whether on the inside, outside or both, anyone kind, considerate, warm, fun and loving, anyone who aspires to be an individual, away from cults and trends, and anyone who accepts me for who I am.
