About Me


"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long... and you have burned so very, very brightly."
HERE LIES:
Robert David Knight {1982 - 2006}

Beloved son and lover. (Though thankfully not to the same people)
Singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, make-up artist, props, lighting technician, third random from the left in your big night out photos. I was always there.
Sloppy drunk boy. Precisely elusive. Dreamer, gatherer, wanderer.
Former King of pV.
Master of disguise - wouldn't that be cool? Like Pistachio Disguisey.
Epitaph
Born into a small regional branch of a large Scottish family conglomorate, Robert David Knight was brought up in the bustling cosmopolitan city of Aberdeen, Scotland.
There he lived for all his years, scribbling ideas and concepts into his neon pink notepad until his untimely death.
At the funeral the following eulogy was read, handed down from his much-missed Grandfather as inheritance:
It was a summer's day in winter,
And the rain was snowing fast,
A bare-footed girl with shoes on,
Stood sitting on the grass,
Her father was a dairy maid,
Aboard a big steam boat,
He used to buy three tons of coal,
To feed McGulligan's goat,
McGulligan's goat grew very ill,
He died the week a'fore,
That's the end of my rare old tale,
I don't know anymore.

Bob currently resides in a small fishing village in Switzerland and is said to be making the first steps towards a fool [sic] recovery.
Oh, and thanks for all the flowers.

My Interests

Music (listening, attending gigs, composing), Writing (personal, sketches, a sitcom), Design (web, physical), Reading (books, critical, cereal packets), Films (watching, analysis, discussion), Girls (minds, bodies).

I'd like to meet:

Girls with pretty shoes.
Someone smart.
Someone silly.
Someone with a dream.
Someone with none.
Someone tall and someone even taller.
Someone who won't take me too seriously.
Someone I can really learn to hate.
Someone dead. Hubba hubba.

Music:

The Lyrics of Ben Folds
I said what you wanted to hear
And what I wanted to say
So I will take it back
Are all the dishes intact?
Let them be broken

-------------------------

The "problem with you" speech you gave me was fine
I liked the theories about my little stage
And I swore I was listening but I started drifting
Around the part about me acting my age

Now if it's all the same
I've people to entertain
I juggle one handed
Do some magic tricks and
The best imitation of myself

-------------------------

Leaf by leaf, page by page
Throw this book away
All the sadness, all the rage
Throw this book away
Rip out the binding, tear the glue
All of the grief we never even knew
We had it all along
Now it's smoke

The things we've written in it
Never really happened
All the things we've written in it
Never really happened
All of the people come and gone
Never really lived
All the people come have gone
No one to forgive - smoke

Movies:

It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one.

Television:

If I take a lamp and shine it toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth... for understanding. Too often, we assume that the light on the wall is God, but the light is not the goal of the search, it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the sense of revelation upon seeing it. Similarly, someone who does not search - who does not bring a lantern - sees nothing. What we perceive as God is the by-product of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light... pure and unblemished... not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand in front of the light and assume that we are the center of the universe - God looks astonishingly like we do - or we turn to look at our shadow and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose, which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty and in all its flaws; and in so doing, better understand the world around us.

Books:

I, Lucifer, Fallen Angel, Prince of Darkness, Bringer of Light, Ruler of Hell, Lord of the Flies, Father of Lies, Apostate Supreme, Tempter of Mankind, Old Serpent, Prince of this World, Seducer, Accuser, Tormentor, Blasphemer, and without doubt Best Fuck in the Seen and Unseen Universe (ask Eve, that minx) have decided - oo-la-la! - to tell all.
All? Some. I'm toying with that for a title: Some. Got a post-millennial modesty to it don't you think? Some. My side of the story. The funk. The jive. The boogie. The rock and roll. (I invented rock and roll. You wouldn't believe the things I've invented. Anal sex, obviously. Smoking. Astrology. Money... let's save time: Everything in the world that distracts you from thinking about God. Which... pretty much... is everything in the world, isn't it? Gosh)

Heroes:

Jamesy Bruce. No, I'm not being sarcastic. Fuck off.
