Going to gigs with / supervising Drew. Filling up my PC's hard drives with grot and mp3's (the same as EVERYONE else who has ever even glanced at the internet - c'mon people now let's endeavour to be honest with one-another ) Playing "Shogun/Medieval/Rome : Total War" ( destroying the Vatican, crushing Sweden with my devout Islamic Scottish hordes, ahhh ) Watching bad movies a lot. Reading a whole lot. Hoarding a whole lot. & according to passers by on the street : looking like a heavily-bearded Simon Pegg.
I'd like to meet:
Any religionist
fundamentalists (Christians, Muslims...plus all the
other usual suspects) & especially Catholics. AS I
LOVE A GOOD LAUGH. The Godly and unhumanitarian people
that you are. Plus hearing the frigid and desperately
confused lecture the enlightened as to exactly why sex
is "sinful" is always amusing to me.
If you're
wondering where this all came from...
Well
however many years of state education being taught
about nothing else in the world other than
[Catholicised] Christianity (the others apparently
don't exist) coupled with various people I've known
throughout my life who've "found God" (maybe he was
hiding behind the sofa all these years?) Said people
always start spouting such regressive stuff as
"homosexuality is against nature", hmm... Someone had
better tell every other mammal species on earth then.
Animals in hell too? It must be crowded down there.
And if you're one of those crazy, wacky folks who
think God (TM) is the one who told your
country/cult(see also : the Catholic Church)/fascist
group/BNP buddies to go and cause any other single
person/animal/country/ethnic group any harm or hassle
at all then I hope your "God" has more patience in
dealing with you than I do...
Oh and from the
lovely & [at the very least by comparision to the
afforementioned above] throughly wholesome world of
pornography: Adriana Sage ; Aurora Snow ; Belladonna ; Dana DeArmond ; Gauge ; Jenna Jameson ; Sierra & Vanessa Blue .

Music:
Blues, Jazz, Hardcore, Female vocal stuff, ( the odd bit of ) Country, Hip hop and "the folk music of the layman" : Heavy Metal ( and all those pesky sub-genres there-in : Grind, Doom, Thrash, etc, etc...all of 'em 'cept "Nu" ! ) Mastodon, Iron Monkey , Slint, Converge, Mono, Helmet, Black Sabbath, Karma To Burn, COC, Clutch, Soilent Green, Pig Destroyer, Kyuss, Million Dead , Fugazi, Bad Brains, Shellac, John Coltrane, Botch, Napalm Death, Cave In, Goatsnake, Earth, Bjork, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Coalesce, Canvas, Pelican, Dirty Three, Johnny Cash, Elliott Smith, EyeHateGod, Neurosis, Melvins, Palehorse , Discordance Axis and Black Flag are personal faves. I'm English so obviously : Led Zeppelin, Joy Divison, The Smiths, The Streets and Dizzee Rascal. Since I'm boring and ( technically ) straight edge I do enjoy the odd spot of solo hardcore dancing and shouty-mouthy sing-a-long-ing-ery to Minor Threat. Oh and the mighty Rhapsody - I'll meet you all in the "Village Of Dwarves". Plus lately I've been listening to a lot of James Brown, Destiny's Child, Curtis Mayfield and Girls Aloud. Funk/pop/soul.
