Live the dream

About Me

Heylo, my name is Andy, I'm a student at the University Of Liverpool studying Archaeology. I have two major loves in my life - my beautiful fiancée and my music.

My Interests

Music, photography, pretending to play guitar and bass, trapsing around old places, and, most recently, archery.

I'd like to meet:

I don't think there is anybody that i have a dying urge to meet, that i haven't met already.I enjoy meeting people i don't know rather than people who i've read lots about. I got so much more out of meeting the ladies from The Tommys than i did speaking to the cool chaps from any number of bands i've seen at the academies.However, if i had to select an individual i suppose it would be a centurion from one of the roman legions that invaded Britain. Conversing with an average person from the past would be far more fun than shuffling my feet infront of the likes of Dexter Holland, despite him being some what of a legend.

Music:

AFI, Alkaline Trio, Sugarcult, Zebrahead, The Matches, The Tommys, The Grit, Green Day, The Offspring, Jimmy Eat World, The Stranglers, Deadline, Guano Apes, BOMB, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Queen Adreena, Heavens, The Starting Line, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tiger Army, Bowling For Soup, American Hi-Fi, Rage Against The Machine, Sex Pistols, Union Underground, Apartment 26, The Smashup, Dragon Force, Blink 182, New Found Glory, Hundred Reasons, A, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Strike Of 59, Capdown, Reel Big Fish, Dropkick Murphys, Meatloaf, Yellowcard, The Cure, Thin Lizzy, Dire Straits, Madness, Queen, Siouxie And The Banshees, Bouncing Souls, Nirvana, Freaks Union, The Fight, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Finger Eleven, Bad Religion, Brand New, [spunge], Bullet For My Valentine, Funeral For A Friend, Taking Back Sunday, Feeder, JJ Paradise Players Club, Gallows, Fenix TX, Nekromantix, Tenacious D, Span, Foo Fighters, Motorhead, Son Of Sam, Guns N Roses, Joe Swindles, Ash, No Doubt, Lostprophets, Maralyn Manson, Goldfinger, Communique, TSOL, 4ft Fingers, Elastica, D4, Gob, Nile, Red Tape, Nickleback, Suicide Machines, Lit, House Of Cain, Audioslave, etc... Music is a part of me and without it i'd probably have fallen apart a long long time ago.

Movies:

Rocky Horror, Pulp Fiction, Nightmare Before Christmas, 40 Year Old Virgin, G.I. Jane, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Wimbledon, Donnie Darko, Dogville, Baseket Ball, Master And Commander, Anchorman, Fight Club, Indiana Jones, ZULU, LOTR, Braveheart, Snatch, Gladiator, Elizabeth, Good Morning Vietnam, Lock Stock, Waterloo, Good Will Hunting, My Girl (blushes), The Grudge, Jarhead, Memoirs Of A Geisha, Casanova, Full Metal Jacket and so on...

Television:

Apart from the simpsons if its on, i don't really watch tv. Except, ofcourse, for the odd bit of sport or for ten minutes while i'm eatin a meal. Generally either the music, news or history chanel is on.

Books:

My favorite books are those by Andy McNab, particularly Remote Control and Dark Winter, and also the Eagle series by Simon Scarrow. I enjoyed Bernard Cornwell's Grail series and most of Tolkien's novels. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six was another good one.

Heroes:

Hard to say, real people are just people. Andy McNab i suppose, and then there's the likes of Indiana Jones and Homer Simpson - they rock my world.
