You don't know the Power of the Dark Side

About Me

Accident Prone...Banjo Loving...Vladivar Craving...wannabe poet...stuck in the body of an (well fed) hobo.This thing below is a bunch of bollocks about me, not that any of its interesting, but i was bored and put it together.
You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.
"Kill! Kill!" The Muppet Personality Test
Your Japanese Name Is...
Shou Shijo What's your Japanese Name?
You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality?
You Are 74% Evil
You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot. How Evil Are You?I want to be able to chill at places where they have live music like this:

My Interests

Beer good....other things bad...I also like Coffee....good coffee...not shit coffee...goooood coffeee...Ive recently rediscovered a long lost love of spicey curry and vodka, not necessarily together but it casn be doneI also reallly like Hats....I someday hope to own a nice hat myself...but for the moment that is just a dream...Music is a must...poetic music, maybe The Doors, NIN, Blind Melon and so on. Even better if on vinyl. I do like to read and whilst im not the biggest fiction fan, preferring a bit of decent poetry, I can be tempted with some Sci Fi comedy. My other interests....well I dont care to discuss everything on here. Want to know? you'll have to ask, If you have the nerve. I tend to get bored quickly, is that an interest? Takes something special to hold my attention these days. Not necessarily as special as a Pickle sandwitch but at least as special as Snow flake on the eye lash of a startled dear. Hmm...I like playing my pink guitar (ITS FUCKIN COOL DAMNIT), Im a bassist now, so playing my tattered bass is nice.. and whats better than picking up the banjo and stringing out a hillbilly tune (thinks of deliverence) I like to go places I haven't been before, I like to see different things even small changes make me smile

I'd like to meet:

Flying Monkeys or someone who can make me laugh. Billy Zane, Vin Diesel, Matt Damon and anyone else from the awesome supper would be cool. It might be interesting to meet Bill Clinton...ask him what constitutes sexual relations with a woman? Might also be cool to meet one of the Bee Gees...to find out if the clamps on the testicles theory about their voices is true. I think I'd like to meet my ancestors, take them on a drive and listen to the stories of the early years. These things play on my mind Run to the bedroom. In the suitcase on the left you'll find my favourite axe!!!

Music:

Hello is it me your looking for??...... I want to Rock ROCK........I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me. She showed me her room, isn’t it good, norwegian wood? .....People are strange, when you're a stranger Faces look ugly when you're alone People seem wicked, when you're unwanted Streets are uneven, when you're down.........Found an Island in your arms...country in your eyes ...arms that chain us..eyes that lie...BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE.....The doors are quite possibly the greatest band of all time..and what music collection would be complete without Johnny Cash...and specifically Hurt..a bloody brilliant song. Crystal Ship...simply yes.. Richard Cheese, the King of Lounge, leaves me in hysterics especially his cover of Closer. Radiohead Creep, used to have one effect but now due to certain events it makes me chuckle hysterically. What list would be complete without my old favourites GNR and Metallica. There are so many more I love...actually wrong word...like a lot....thats better...especially a bit of cock rock and loads of 70's tunes. Feel free to talk to me about music, always on the lookout for a cool new song to listen to, although new doesn't mean im dying to hear any crap ...almost forgot...probably my favourite song for the past 5-6 months has to be Kings Of Leon - California Waitiing...love that song..."Why Can't I get back my lonely life"... Finding a new found love for a song by a band I cant stand..."Beer - Reel Big Fish" Im thinking of adopting it as a personal anthem. Just occured to me ive forgotten Alice in Chains...how ive done that i dont know...i shall now visously beat myself with a soggy tree branch...they are a great band and Man in the Box is a personal favourite track..Pure Genius...and as for the unplugged session...Got Me Wrong...well...im getting aroused thinking about it.A new addition after the Thailand experience has got to be Munsun. MUNSUN ROCK. towards the end of 2006 i entered the Megadeath phase and " a toute la monde" (the live version) is pure genius. In 2007 i are mostly listening to Blind Melon, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. Today I am listening to The Good, The Bad and The Queen..I like it a lot...and Blur, Battery in your Leg, moving but incredibly overlooked.

Movies:

Arise Rodimus Prime....gotta be Transformers the movie....Man on the Moon...thats right up my street..The Big Lebowski, The Doors, Evil Dead Trilogy, Tombstone, Wayne's World, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Casablanca (everybody should see this movie at least once),Spinal Tap, Once Upon a Time in the West, Severance, Sean of the Dead, Sparticus and

Television:

I used to love Red Dwarf, Black Books and Garth Marenghi's Dark Place but recently I have rediscovered TV and become a engrossed in Heroes and House..something about shows beginning with H...gets me every time....except for Happy Days...the later series were awful

Books:

EVERYONE SHOULD AT SOME POINT READ WITHOUT YOU, BY DEL JAMES....THIS STORY IS MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE AND IS ABSOLUTELY FUNKING AMAZING...LIFE CHANGING STUFF. Cash by Johnny Cash...the transformers books...Jim Morrison (Life, Death, Legend), Norwegian Wood & The Wind Up Bird Chronicles by Murakami, The Selected Poems of William Blake or i quite liked Mog says Goodbye. Bit of Nietzche for some perspective a dash of Conrad,maybe some Huxley. For a splice of poetical genius I would have to say Dylan Thomas..his poems are quite enthralling and the imagery he uses...it scary to think what a genius he was. Favourite poem-Probably Dylan Thomas - A process in the weather of the heart..or Possibly E.E. Cummings - May i feel said he...although i am particularly fond of Peter Porter - a Consumers Report. Great stuff This could be a long list, Ive read a lot in the past year, cant be arsed to discuss this though. Pick any of the titles Ive mentioned so far with the exception of perhaps TF and Mog says Goodbye and youll probably find yourself working throgh most of my favourite books anyway. ANy of James Douglas Morrisons poetry is also highly recommended, especially, Enter the Slip, The Wedding Dress, Celebration of the Lizard and American Prayer. Most inspiring. Emily Dickinson (thanks elle)....great stuff

Heroes:

James Douglas Morrison, Bill Hicks, Layne Stayley, Andy Kaufman, Dylan Thomas, Shannon Hoon, Jimi Hendrix + Optimus Prime., Funny how my heroes are dead isnt it.
