who is this rudderless hippy and how do i get away from him?

About Me

Some call me a loveable rogue, some call me an arse. Come find me and make up your own mind. My interests are all laid bare on the other side of this page, so look there to find out what i like. I will soon be an unemployed bum aagin- woohoo! Me and Paul have finally got our arses in gear and started up our filthy punk/drum n bass band, we'll have a page when we have tunes and all the other important shit. Currently planning to do a course in body arts (tatooing rather than piercing) so i can one day ink my work into other peoples skin, will eventually get around to learning to drive so i can customise a van to live in and go travelling. When i have the time again maybe i'll start getting back into the music journalism lark (my work can be found via the Joiners and Winchester Massive websites and in In The City magazine (see below). Other than that I like to sleep about ten/twelve hours a day, eat scones and sandwiches and laze around. I think at the moment i have reverted to living like a fresher again, my room is constantly full of people debasing it via the mediums of jamming, gaming, smoking and generally being bums. This is good. When i was a fresher everything was simple and happy. Hills and being on top of hills whilst in some way intoxicated is also good. I'm not that fond of shoes.....
