Movin' to the 'Dam...

About Me

Here's hoping I never don't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident...
Made with the MyTheme myspace editor

My Interests

Y'know... stuff... things... stuff... surely this is covered in the 'music and movies' sections?

I'd like to meet:

Myself in about 30 years, just to see if any of my half-arsed plans actually came to anything. That and to see if I'm still devilishly handsome after all those years... what was that you say? You mean 'who would I like to meet on My Space, not who would I like to meet if I could rip apart the fragile fabric of time and transport myself 30 years into the future?'Okay... well here goes... freaks n' geeks, rock n' rollers, lovers n' fighters, fools, vultures and undertakers (I hear they have time for pretty much anyone) and I guess any other kind of people whose can be described by joining one word to another using 'n''. Except for bump n' grinders. There's something about that which always made me feel a little dirty (the bad kind of dirty that is, not the good kind. Anyone who can make me feel the good kind of dirty is always very welcome).

Music:

Stuff that rocks... dammit you people want everything on a silver platter don't you? Look at the blog, I'm sure that has a little picture of whatever album I was listening to while I was merrily typing away. Go - look now, lazy!So you want a short answer do you? Okay... rock n' fuckin' roll. That do ya?

Movies:

Yes, lots. Possibly some kind of reflection on the state of my mind these days but lots of Takeshi Miike and other Korean/Japanese/Hong Kong movie types.Favourite director of the moment has to be Wong Kar Wai - Fallen Angels, Happy Together (a great place to start if you've never seen a Chinese movie about destructive gay love affair set in Buenos Aires) and Chungking Express to name but a few... - that and some stuff that would make me sound even gayer if I wrote it her ( I like 'My Fair Lady', okay?), so no. Just stuff that's REALLY serious.

Television:

*adopts an air of smug self-satisfaction* 'I don't own a television' (wanker)

Books:

What, I have to list every book I've ever read now? I don't have all night... okay, in fact I do have all night but I'm still not going to do it...Okay, anything by Brett Easton Ellis. Is that enough to get you started? You want more? How about 'The Sorrow of War' by Bao Ninh, the only book I've ever read that actually made me want to cry. I also have a bit of a soft spot for Haruki Murakami, even though deep down I know he's a bit crap...Addenum: I CAN"T FIND ANY GOOD, CHEAP BOOKS IN CHINA AND IT'S KILLING ME!!!

Heroes:

Ooh... not sure I really have any heroes... I love people with a self-destructive streak that bring out the worst in me. Especially if we have have good chemistry, because there is nothing in the world that ain't more fun with a buddy!

My Blog

Don't stop believin'

Ouch: part deux

So I managed to have yet another accident last night - ripped my leg open on a metal fence that was resting at a 45 degree angle to the cycle path. It was the middle of the night so I felt it way befo...

The Gossip

I don't care what anyone says about Beth Ditto, I went to see The Gossip last night and they absolutely f*cking rocked! Anyone who can turn George Michael's 'careless' whisper into an indie dancefloor...

Fucking ouch (or how I lost a tooth and gained scar)

Anyone I've spoken to one-on-one recently will know I've had something of a run of bad luck recently. It started out with little niggling things like banks being annoying and my not getting paid, but ...

Confusion...

Argh! For some reason I can't seem to figure out my 'My Space' is now completely in Dutch. How in the hell am I supposed to subject the world to my ramblings if I don't know which button I'm supposed ...

London 2012...

Is it just me, or does the newly unveiled Olympic logo look a bit like a guy with an afro trying to stick his short, fat cock up a pregnants woman's t-shirt? .....

Mosquitos in Amsterdam... WTF?

Okay, so when I was living in subtropical China I kind of factored the odd mosquito bite into the equation, but WTF is the deal with me spending half of last night trying to kill one of the little mut...

Russian surf rock fuckin' rocks!

Totally does - saw a Russian zombie surf rock band last night and they were wicked. If they play in the UK you should definitely check out Messer Chups. *twang twang twang twang, twang twang twaa...
