About Me

Rock more. Roll more. F*ck more.
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday night. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. I chose rock n roll.
See the right lifestyle is something that is worn, not discussed. Money, fame, and looks, though helpful, are not required. It is, rather, something that screams: "abandon your boring, mundane, unfulfilled lives and step into my exciting world, full of interesting people, new experiences, good times, easy living, and dreams fulfilled."

My Interests

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life. Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives. I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and f*ck with the stars. You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.
This is our decision to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun. Yeah, it's overwhelming but what else can we do. Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends. We were fated to pretend. To pretend.
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms. I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world. I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home. Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do. Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew. The models will have children, we'll get a divorce. We'll find some more models, everything must run its course.
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end. We were fated to pretend. To pretend
I said yeah, yeah, yeah. All right yeah, yeah, yeah. I said yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah yeah, yeah, yeah
