About Me

Well hello there. Welcome to this MySpace page.
This is all things Carl related. Up there's a photo of me. And links to some blogs. You should read them. I always get a lot off my chest when I blog.
I play guitar in Knockout Ned. The image in the background is of my guitar, just several different angles and stuff. I made it. Aren't I just crazy?!
Anyway, that's digression. All of my friends are special and important in their own way. My closests friends are the best ones!
I miss the days of lazing around, playing Bin Ball, listening to music and Booth 12. Those days were awesome.
I am a second year student at Birmingham City University. At first I hated the name, now I just shorten it to City Uni, and I sound like one of them London types! The 997 calls it City Uni. Anyway, I study Media & Communications. It is NOT a Mickey Mouse degree. Anyone who thinks so is welcome to try it. My specialism is in Radio. I hope to one day host my own radio show and play tunes that are awesome and groovy.
I've grown up listening to Metallica and Placebo. Now I listen to everything. I thank my parents for guiding me in to the rock way of life. I still listen to Metallica and Placebo.
My favourite bands of all time are The Clash, The Ramones, Dead Kennedys and Manic Street Preachers. I love modern music, like Kaiser Chiefs, The Enemy, Arctic Monkeys, Jamie T, The Strokes, Foo Fighters and Muse. They're in no order, or course.
Most of the stuff that should go in an 'About Me' is plastered around this profile. So go read it, you lazy nipples.
