My interests? The thing I'm obviously most interested in is Music. I like to think I have a broad taste in music as I will give anything a chance, but generally the music that's most likely to appeal to me is something with a good tune, good vocals, memorable lyrics and just a catchy hook, the kind that'll knock around your head for a week. I have yet to find any Rn'B song that I've actually taken a shine to though. I also enjoy being with my friends and just generally having a great time, even if that mean's I'll wake up the next day with a fuck-off hangover.
I'm not down with the whole "I wanna meet my biggest inspirations because chances are they'll love me!" I love a mystery. I would wanna meet anyone who's got something interesting to say or have something good to give to the world.

Anything funny, dramatic or interesting. Examples of this:
- Quadrophenia (my favourite film)
- Rocky 1-6
- Shaun of The Dead/Hot Fuzz
- Batman Begins
- Tommy
- Pulp Fiction
- Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2
- Ali G In Da House
Best soundtrack to a film is definitely Quadrophenia, really love the way how the lyrics narrate the film and how even if you listen to the soundtrack on it's own, you can go through the film in your head.
I will glady admit that I'm more into my Television than my Films, I would probably choose half-an-hour of my favourite show over my favourite film anytime. However, same genres apply to television as well. I'm mostly into my comedies because there's just been so many good comedy programs over the past 30 years, I couldn't possibly name them all. My favourite TV programs include:
- Alan Partridge (anything with him in his hilarious!)
- Black Books (Dylan Moran AND Bill Bailey in the same show?!)
- The Young Ones/ Bottom
- Ali G in Da USaiiiiii
- The Mighty Boosh
- Family Guy (Come on, who doesn't love Peter Griffin?)
- Rock Profile (Shits all over Little Britain)
And there's loads more
I'm not that much of a reader to be honest, it's definitely something I would like to do more, but it's the will power I lack! If I do decide to read a book, it's most likely going to be a Biography of someone who's an influence on me or I have a general interest in, or it'll be like a Diary type book, last book I actually read was Anne Frank's Diary, was a better read then I expected!
I have a lot of heroes, these are the two main ones
But most of my heroes are musicians, seeming as I've spent the best parts of my life trying to be like them and create music good enough to match theres. This ranges from people like Serge from Kasabian to Pete Townsend from The Who. Anyone who has the ability to write a song which can lift you up when you feel down, make's you just wanna sing your lungs out and just generally put a lump in the back of your throat. But my biggest influence on my life are my mates, the best people in the world ever...
