There is no art but this

About Me

I am Jamie
I am studying English at Goldsmiths College, University of London
I like almost any kind of music, assuming it satisfies one of two guidelines - it must be either meaningful or catchy. This means that both Bob Dylan and Fall Out Boy are acceptable but Coldplay are not
I like the smell of woodsmoke
I like American literature and hardcore
I am pretty negative on the outside but its probably just an act
I talk to myself when no one is looking (I am not weird, you do it too)
I like reading and writing. both have underrated relaxation qualities
I like to use correct grammar and punctuation, because untidy language upsets me, but I hate physical tidyness
I am attracted to chaos and disorder
I am not gay but find Eddie Vedder attractive
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
You Are Surrealism
Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own.
It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy.
You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.
You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world. What Art Movement Are You?
"The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."
- Bill Hicks..
