HOW'S YOUR FAITH THESE DAYS?

About Me

If you think we have stuff in common and you are prepared to say HI once in a while then request an add, by all means.
If you're out to make as many friends as possible, piss off.

My Interests

My main love is music, whether it's listening to it, making it, watching other people play it... I'm addicted!!
I play the drums. I've been playing about 14 years.
I was a founding member of the SA metal band, Tyburn. Before Tyburn, I was in Bizarre Bazaar, Sacrifist, Beast of Eden and a whole bunch of other bands.
I also play some guitar and dabble in a PC program called Reason 3, which I use to make techno remixes of metal bands, and any other crazy stuff that comes to mind.
I love gaming, mainly on PlayStation 2 and some PC games. I prefer games with a lot of action and violence. I'm not really into sports or strategy games, except NHL. And besides ice hockey, cricket and extreme sports, skateboarding etc… I don’t like sport AT ALL, especially soccer, rugby and American football. I do like extreme sports, though, and I used to skateboard but not any more.
I don't like guns and I don't trust people who feel they need to carry one.
I love animals. I have a cat Crowley who keeps me well amused.
I'm also into tattoos and piercings and have quite a few of each. My favourite tattoo artist is Paul Booth, and one day I'd like to get some work by him... I'm saving my back for him
I like chess, astronomy, hearing about conspiracy theories, HR Giger, collecting figurines of comic/ movie/ horror/ cult characters and any other cool, obscure, evil, weird shit. I have a (still somewhat healthy) fascination with serial killers and most things macabre.
I'm close to my friends and family, and I like spending time with them. But I'm also known for turning off my phone and being completely unavailable, and getting some space, breathing room, and perspective on things by just doing my own thing. That's life...
I was recently accused of living in my own world... well, rather mine than yours, fucko!
I like interesting people with their own ideas, values and opinions, and who can think for themselves.

I'd like to meet:

Chilled out, easy going, interesting people, who also have lives outside of Myspace.
Narrow-minded, judgemental, confused, erratic manic-depressives, cry babies, egomaniacs, small children, big babies, stalkers, giggling 15 year olds, drama queens, people with issues, shitty negative attitudes, god complexes, bibles and Backstreet Boys CD’s should steer clear of here. We have nothing to offer each other.

I don't enjoy American comedy (except Denis Leary, who is god) ...The League of Gentlemen, The Mighty Boosh, Spaced, Little Britain, The Office, CIS, The Soprano's... I mainly use my TV for PlayStation 2. I have the worn out thumbs to prove it.

I also love reading comics.
My favourite comic is Preacher.

Sandman and Spawn are also brilliant.
I’m also a big fan of Calvin & Hobbes and Bizarre magazine
