About Me

..

All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.....

Er, I'm not very good at making myself sound interesting really!
I'm a network administrator at a couple of schools, which is great...I have a fantastic fiancee, Ruth, who also works at the same school as me, but she teaches. She is amazing and I'm marrying this one in August 2007 - I've never felt this way about anyone before - she flicks all of the switches :)
I proposed to her at Stonehenge on May 29th 2006 - she said yes (obviously, this is me we're talking about! :P). A special place and an extremely special day!
I play guitar - I used to play in a band called Solace Denied, but I've not had much time or money to keep it up recently. I might start making some noise again soon though! I want to do something doomy & British sounding but I've just bought a home so I'm utterly brassic! ;o)
I play World of Warcraft a hell of a lot....I'm a geek yes and it saps a hideous amount of my life but.... I love this game - what can I say? It's just great fun!

My Interests

I love music and as much of it as possible Playing guitar, Fiddling with computers, Playing computer games, Reading, Drinking and chatting with my chums. Paganism I like to spend a lot of time thinking about spirituality -I always end up confusing myself but it's great food for thought! I like boobs, I can't help it :o)

I'd like to meet:

Clive Barker because he's the daddy. Liv Tyler (obvious reasons :D).

Music:

Metal - anything with a good hook and integrity. Chilled, folk - really getting into this of late. Prog rock - love 70's prog; Pretty much anything that's been done well, I try to keep an open mind about music and will give anything a go. The only genre that riles me is garage - I just find it really bland and shallow - like there's no emotion in it all. I've been developing an interest in folk & mediaeval style music recently - I'd like to find out more about pagan/celtic bands.There's so many bands that I love, where to start???First off, Queen, Metallica & Iron Maiden - they were the first. Then came Carcass, Emperor, Dissection, Immortal...I can't really be bothered to list all of the bands I like - it's pointless as there are so many!

Movies:

Bladerunner, LOTR, Alien series, Braveheart, Highlander, Hellraiser, The Wickerman, Gladiator, The Green Mile, Kingdom of Heaven....loadsHorror & ancient history are my main passion, along with fantasy, sci-fi etcBasically, I love any film that stirs some emotion in me - I love braindead cheesy action too, but a film that brings a tear to my eye is a winner!

Television:

Spooks, Overhaulin, Top Gear, American Chopper, CSI, CSI Miami, Robin of Sherwood (old skool!) news...I try not to watch too much television....

Books:

Soooo many - Iain M Banks, Tolkein, Gemmel, Robert Jordan (love the Wheel of Time series). I'm really into fantasy & sci-fi, but I do try to read outside of that too sometimes LOL.

Heroes:

Muscially: Hetfield, Hammett, Page, May, Steer - I'll never be anywhere close to these guys, but they've provided me with inspiration to learn something I'll never lose.Heroes are the people that I see around me that provide me with a passion for all aspects of life! :o)

My Blog

I'm getting fackin' married!

It's true, it's true! I took m'lady Ruth off for a "magical mystery tour" last Monday and proposed to her at Stonehenge - which was well cool but also I was really nervous and didn't want yapping Amer...

Neurosis & Jarboe

I saw these guys with Mss Jarboe at the Forum last night, and it genuinely felt like I was at one of those 'legendary' gigs - it was such an amazing performance, it blew me away completely. THere were...
