I don't read enough and I don't practise the keyboard/piano enough. But those are two things I like doing that could make me sound like a sophisticated kinda guy.
Mostly I listen to music, and geek away online. I love chatting... I'm not big on games and stuff though. Or even forums.
Just chatting!
I like travel, I like going to as many different places as possible and meeting all the people I can.
I don't really know what to say that could make you think, "WOW! This guy's really cool!" Sorry!
Any nice people really.
I'll take anything though, I'm not fussy. Just don't be arsey.
Now I hate to get so elitist this early on in the profile, but don't you just love it when people list a million bands just to sound like they know more than YOU?
I genuinely could list a zillion things here... My first love was INXS, and I'm a massive fan now. Call me what you like: they're ace! I was lucky enough to see them with Michael Hutchence as well. After that, it's music to suit all moods really because sticking largely to one genre won't reflect everything you feel really, will it?! It won't invigorate many feelings. And that's fact. That's scientific fact. Some bands/artistes can cover a big spectrum though, and hats off to them. But moving in the circles I do, I meet too many people who are "metal for life" and make a point about being soooo metal [even though my dad's probably seen HammerFall more times than they've had hot potatoes]...oh my life! What the Hell am I talking about?!
In metal I trust: Iron Maiden, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Angra, Within Temptation, Rhapsody, Anthrax, Dream Theater, Destruction, Lost Horizon. In darkwave I trust: Assemblage 23, Iris, VNV Nation, Depeche Mode, Apoptygma Berzerk, Rotersand, De/Vision, Mesh... and I'd say Chroma Key count as well. In contemporary classical I trust: Ludovico Einaudi, Apocalyptica [they count!], Vanessa Mae, William Orbit, Yann Tiersen. Of the big boys in classical I trust: Beethoven and Vivaldi mostly.
In everything else, just to shut myself up sooner rather than later, it's: Dishwalla, Vanessa Carlton, Louise Attaque, Spock's Beard, Yes, LA Guns, Ty Tabor (+ bands), U2, Keane, The Cinematics, Jean Michel Jarre, Muse, The Human League, Schiller, Fungus, Boston, Faithless, Hoobastank... and Marillion.

If it's got Tony Jaa in: it's cinematic gold. This is an undisputable truth.
And since watching Ong-Bak three years ago, my eyes have been opened up to brilliant(ish) Thai cinema! Born To Fight, Bang-Rajan, Mercury Man, The Tiger Blade...
Other favourites include The Lives Of Others, Tell No One, District 13, Hot Fuzz, Tiger & Dragon, Three Colours (Red's my favourite), Taxi (first two, not the third, fourth was back on form), The Blues Brothers, Batman Begins, The Last Samurai, Le Dîner De Cons, La Haine, Run Lola Run, Amélie, District 13, Wasabi, The City Of Violence, Terminator 2, actually: most of the Arnie films... the good ones anyway... even Eraser.
Comedies for the win... That's why I like Diagnosis Murder so much. And Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Oh how I love Dean Learner!! What a man. (Although not really in Man To Man...)
My favourites are always going to be Bottom and Sledge Hammer. :o)
If I watched Heroes I'd probably like it. Let's face it... [it's fact-time again] who doesn't want to be a hero?
The Little Prince, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time. Preacher series.
