My Interests

I am 71% Evil Genius.
.. Evil courses through my blood. Lies and deceit motivate my evil deeds. Crushing the weaklings and idiots that do nothing but interfere in my doings. Take the
Evil Genius Test
@ FualiDotComI'm into music big time, which is why I'm a musician. I'm also quite into kayaking, currently I'm a level one coach, and quite into white water paddling, not great at it, but i've not paddled many rivers yet.

I'd like to meet:

myself, that would be kinda strange. hahaI'd really like to meet some really top class musicians, like Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Herbie Hancock people like that. Queen are huge idols of mine so I'd like to meet them.I'd also quite like to meet my soul mate, that would be quite nice

Music:

Jazz, Funk, Fusion, Rock, Blues, Classical, um how many other styles of music are there to think of.I'm really passionate about playing music and I play a lot of funk and jazz. Victor Wooten, Bootsy Collins, Richard Bona, Miles Davis, Tower Of Power, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Weather Report, Chick Corea, all the greats really and a few more to boot.check out some other folk aswell, Lindsey Mac is soo cool, as is Steve Lawson. Both fantastic at what they do, and yet such different styles, hehe

Movies:

Anchorman, Star Wars, Highlander, Donnie Darko, Meet joe Black, Pirates of the Carribean 1, 2 and 3, there's loads of films I like, but too many to list here

Television:

Family Guy, the Simpsons, Neighbours, Scrubs, Friends, Fraiser, Cheers, Top Gear and anything else I can find thats on to be honest

Heroes:

Mainly musical ones, ranging from Bootsy to Bach, everyone really.
