You're burning out their lights

About Me

I am fun lovin rock n roller. I love going to gigs, cinema, dancing to garage rock and watching yank car restoration shows. I just recently left Music Zone after eight years of good times. I'm now off to work as on-line product manager for an up and company (www.thehut.com). I am very sarcastic and cynical about life and always see the negative points in life being the best things. Appreciate black humour, dirty rock n roll, quiffs and love collecting trainers and vinyl. I could write a lot more but that takes the whole point out of myspacing if I give the game away so early. Where is the mystery????? MyGen Profile GeneratorOl blue eyes!!!!

I love listening to music, watching films, going to the cinema, hanging out at the local indie club, working hard and partying hard. MyGen Profile Generator
