My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone of interest - most of the people I'd really like to meet are dead but as for those alive hey you'll never know till it happens!

Music:

I love Listening, Recording, Playing, Jamming, Making MusicMany things from Blues, Jazz, Samba, Funk, Psychedelic Rock, Soundtracks, Soundscapes, B Grade Horror Movie Music, Classical, Fantastical - anything that tickles my brain!peoples like Elmore,Mingus,Hendrix,Floyd - to name a few -I love being surprised by catching an act that I never thought I'd like and to walk away going wow that was great!Oh music - where would I be with out you

Movies:

Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii (The original, not the directors cut!)Sometimes I like a film for its ideas and other times for its colours/sounds - I like B&W as much as modern, and a good B grade sci-fi is always fun!

Television:

I like it when I do happen to watch it and I catch something amazing that I couldn't have planned even if I wanted to.The original Star Trek has great sounds and colours! -Sienfeld still cracks me up, Whose line is it anyway? takes me to new heights! Simpsons of course and good ol' Columbo!

Books:

Aurthur C Clarke or H.G Wells or Jules Verne or Ian Flemming to name a few - but I like the classics as well as just a good yarn!anything about the earth or its 4.5 Billion year historyand i Love listening to Audio books/lectures on the world of Antiquity. The ancient Romans,Greeks, Vikings, Medieval,20th century, Neolithic, Prehistoric and histories of the world that i find so fascinatingand the CWG series - yeh!

Heroes:

A quality that I see, that exists in someone, and inspires me to recreate myself anew

Grinders and crow bars great for fixing cars

Is there anything mechanical a crow bar and grinder can't fix? Grinding away and watching those little metal fireflys dart around is almost magical!
