Ancient cultures, Rome, Greece and Egypt (up to about 1500 years ago), Constantinople, and the Crusades, ancient worships and the occult. Martial Arts, Fire breathing, Monochrome, wit, sarcasm, Plants, Reptiles, Music, Drums, Burlesque, Photography, Fetishism (history and customs of...) Red Wine & black beer. Fire and Faith, I am the serpent that makes the world Paradise.
It will also surprise a few people but I can and do read... Tattoos and piercing occupy the time and skin (well what else is it going to be used for?!), whilst Fire breathing is a fun and enviromentally sound way of killing flys and entertaining parties, Vampires (I AM NOT one or think I am one, I just love the imagery of the myth and literature), 50's pin up glamour and it's modern fashion spin off, and relaxing and watching the world drift by and taking the occasional photograph of the interesting places and people if I get a quiet 5 minutes. I also make Burlesque Sally Rand Fans to order. There are a few pictures on here, but there should be more up soon. If you like to find out details just message me.
I'd like to meet:
The creater of Scrappy Doo, in a dark alley with a lump of 4 by 2 with nails in... But failing that Goths, Punks, or whatever alternative label people want to go by, that share common interests, or anyone that can make me laugh. Tim Burton would be a good start, then the likes of Tim Curry, Dylan Moran and Eddie Izzard.
People that want to give me money for playing music and people that like what I play...
Let me know where you are...
Music:
Music is complicated, it's been too big a part of my life for this little space. Music changes with my mood but Industrial, Goth, 80's and kids TV themes just about covers it with a twist of middle east or Eastern drummers... Sisters of Percy to the wombles (preferably sung in German)... although the one song I will always listen to has to be the clash's London Calling...But here is an attempt at an abridged list:48 Sin,

Heroes:
Billy Connelly for fighting out of the ship yard with nothing but a talent for making people laugh (and making awedge of cash with it!), Rob Zombie for taking a lot of influences and moulding something new, Wayne Hussey for telling that obnoxious bald twat to fuck off! John Lydon for still being John Lydon no matter what he does. John Peel RIP for all he did for the alternative music scene. A certain Mr Strummer RIP - a musicians god - enough said. Add to that Pinky and the Brain, and little Stu Griffin and the Evil monkey in the closet (Family Guy).
There are to many to mention them all, but they are not just celebraties, but people that strive to better the world around them, from surgeons and researchers, to dedicated teachers and nurses.. (particularly the ones that have patched me up over the years)
