I am here for Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

Well as the observant of the myspace population may have noticed my name's Dan or Daniel if you like. I was born and bred on Portsea Island (or Portsmouth as most people call it), raised by a mother and father, I also have an older sister who I strangely enough get along quite well with.
I'm in the middle of a degree in Biomedical Science at the university of Portsmouth, which can be very interesting in part and boring at best in others.
I'm currently living in a student house with Simon, Liam and Steve. Its located in Duncan Rd Southsea, so is very close to both Albert Rd and Palmerston Rd, which is very handy. The house itself is great, got my room in a nice little set up, all nice and cosy n loving it. It's been remarked that it's the tidiest student house they've ever seen, hopefully it'll remain that way.
I spend most monday nights in the company of a select group of friends at the registry and route.
My passions include film, music of the alternative nature (though it's become somewhat mainstream these days :S), books (I can sit hours on end enthralled by a good fantasy), walking (keeps me in shape, as well as gives me time to think). Aswell as all those I have a slight interest in photography and can often be seen with camera in hand, I'm also the photographer for the university magazine Pugwash . I enjoy watching sunsets (call it girly if you will, but they're stunning and it always makes me think there will never be one exactly the same again).
In my opinion I don't really fit into any specific genre myself, i'm somewhat of a skater/surfer/rocker/geekboy mishmash, though I cant skate, have never surfed, doubt anyone thinks I rock but I guess the geekboy bit's right, even though in some parts of the world it may be more politically correct to be called a geekman. In the words of one person I am "odd, funny with delightful taste in hats and facial hair", which pretty much sums me up.
Well thats enough ramble from me, like anyones actually that interested :P. If you do want to know anything else about me just poke me enough and i'll tell ya.
Everyone should check out the video/audio thing below, just put on some head phones, close your eyes and sit back and relax. Sounds kinda crap but it's absolutely awesome.
Virtual Haircut Put your headphones on (audio).

My Interests

Many things. I love going to see gigs with my mates, especially when skanking will be involved. Also listening to music, playing on xbox, mad about films both in the cinema and on dvd, and sadly I also collect something called Warhammer 40,000. I can often be seen taking photos and am actually a photographer for the magazine Pugwash.

You Are Sunrise
You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.

Self Comprehension

What happens when the light fades? When the illumination evades me?   I am disregarded, thrown back into the eternal darkness.   Some-part of myself seems missing, I no-longer feel complete....

Surrender of the senses.

Whilst I float upon the eddies swirling in the depths.   Something calls to me, stroking my senses till I can no longer ignore it.   I pull myself from within, casting my gaze at the em...

Our bane. Our Saviour.

I have abandoned the Earth, retreated from the plight of humanity in the days when escapism is the greatest form of entertainment.   Endless darkness engulfs me whilst pin-points of light d...

Strive towards Hopelessness

My mind boggles, it writhes within it's encapsulated form, pulsing and stretching at it's boundaries until my vision blurs and full consciousness recedes.   Human nature is a coy thing indee...

Countdown To Infinity

Yesterday I decided it was time to get myself back, my mind, body and soul and release them upon the world to run riot. It's wasteful keeping them to ourselves and since I'm not hugely successful in g...
