It's a small world but I wouldn't want to paint it.....

About Me

Hello there.
I'm David.
Most people I know call me DB.You can too if you like.
I'm 52 years old.
Wait!
I'll try that again.
Nope.
Didn't work.

I'm still 52.
I cannot begin to tell you how depressed that statement makes me feel.
I didn't really notice it happening.
I look in the mirror and I hardly recognize myself.
I'm getting more chins than the Chinese Phone Book.
I think I'm becoming slightly eccentric as I get older.
I've developed the affectation of only ever wearing black.
I'm ready for funerals at the drop of a hat.
I have had my own hairdressing business since 1979.
I think it's time to stop now.I'm getting past it.
I have been married to Amanda (AKA The Enemy) for 21 years but due to a mixture of illness and fatigue (she was sick and tired of me) we haven't lived together since 1999.
So I guess that makes me single.
Yes,I know,it's weird.But it's safe.
I'm on the shelf but I do get taken down and dusted once in a while.
The great thing about my marriage is that it gave me two wonderful stepsons.
There's Matt (AKA Peo Superstar) (who you can meet down below) and Adam (who is too cool for MySpace).
I love 'em both.
I like music and film and I play golf but only when it's warm.
I hate political correctness,religious intolerance and liver and onions.
I find people fascinating so if you want to tell me about yourself I'm all ears. ..
I like to put videos up on YouTube.If you're desperate for something to do you can see them HERE.
You can see my photographs HERE

My Interests

Music:

I enjoy a wide variety of music but like most people of my age my head is probably stuck in the 70's.
That doesn't mean I don't buy records from the Here and Now.
My only hate is that depressingly cheerful music that always has a strummed guitar in the background.
'Why does it always rain on me...la de la...'
That sort of thing.
Here are some of my favourites...

Frank Zappa
I've loved this stuff since I was fifteen and just because he's dead doesn't mean I have to stop loving it now.

Tom Waits
The best songwriter in the world...EVER.

Ozric Tentacles
The original Space Cadets.
Dig out those early albums,use something herbal,then lean back and enjoy.


Jim O'Rourke
Doyen of the Chicago Post-Rock Movement.
His album 'Bad Timing' is a guitar masterpiece.


Ojos de Brujo
My current obsession.
Definitely Spanish but other than that hard to define.
Music to lift the spirit.

Movies:

I love film though I don't like the cinema so much now.
There's nothing like people talking and munching nachos to break the mood.
Some of my favourites...

Once Upon A Time In America
Sergio Leone,Robert DeNiro,Ennio Morricone.
What more do you need?


Amores Perros
Devastating.

Things To Do In Denver When You Are Dead
I was Godzilla and you were Japan

Pulp Fiction
I could use a little foot massage...
Run Lola Run
Again...

Apocalypse Now
Smells like victory

The Wild Bunch
The best western...EVER.

Television:

Sounds pretentious but I don't watch it.

I'm lying.

I'm totally addicted to LOST.
