Listening to music, playing the guitar, writing music, jammin', languages, politics, conversations on the essence of life etc., outdoor pursuits, art, alternative spirituality, drinkin' beer, smokin Moroccan Woodbines from time to time, havin' the craic etc.
I'd like to meet:
Anyone who thinks they have anything remotely in common with me... If you're going to ask to be added to my friends list and I don't already know you, however, please introduce yourself first. If you are a fascist or racist or believe that the oppression of any one people by another can be justified then I don't want to hear from you thanks very much. In the words of the Dead Kennedys/Napalm Death, "Nazi punks fuck off!"
Music:
I've been a big heavy metal/hard rock fan ever since I first heard Guns N' Roses' "Appetite For Destruction" for the first time when I was 7. Through the years I've gradually developed more "extreme" tastes in metal from the likes of Metallica and Megadeth onto Pantera and Sepultura, then from then onto Deicide and Cannibal Corpse a few years later, slowly progressing to the likes of Nile, Pig Destroyer, Abaddon Incarnate etc etc. I still thoroughly enjoy a lot of commercial metal/rock, and have a broad interest in the varying genres of extreme metal, from Death to Doom, Black to Grindcore, NWOAHM, Swedish DM etc.
I also enjoy listening to other types of music, anything from flamenco to reggae, traditional Irish to African, etc.Just some of the bands/artists I like:- Abaddon Incarnate

Movies:
Big Fish, Amelie, Amores Perros, Fahrenheit 9/11, Some Kind Of Monster, Kill Bill, Mulholland Drive
Television:
I'll watch just about anything. Except horse-racing. Or snooker or cricket.
Books:
Not a big reader of books I'm afraid.
Heroes:
The first person that springs to mind is James Hetfield simply because he was my biggest hero for such a long time, but I wouldn't consider him in the same way any more...
Other heroes? I dunno, Mary Robinson, Nelson Mandella, anyone who opposes and strives to end human rights violations anywhere in the world.
