Hiya I'm Antony.
A bit about me:
- Part Rocker, Part Hippy, All Awesome
- I am one of these people that everyone recognises but very few actually know.
- I'm in equal parts charming and tactless. Figure that one out!
- I have a very absurdist sense of humour
- And I like to have a wild time!
- I love music, playing instruments and singing. I write songs and lyrics but ultimately I'd like to compose orchestral music - it's hard!!
- I also want to sell pop songs. That might sound ghey and sell-outish coming from a rocker but actually I love catchy melodies and vocal line and I'm commited to writing pop music which is sophisticated musically and lyrically. Think Tears For Fears for the 21st century, oh yeah baby!
- I like to play anything I can get my hands on really! My first instrument is piano. I can play you a song on guitar, you might even think it's quite good - but actually I'm using a sophisticated deception technique called "faking it" :)
- My other main interest is environmentalism, Yes, I'm a big nature-loving hippy. I'm a proud member of the Cfis .
. I am trying to get active hugging I mean planting Trees with the charity Trees For Life and I'm also a member of the Rainforest Action Network and British Soil Association.
- I'm not the best anything in the world.
- But I might be the worst at art!! I suck so badly I can't even draw - it's pathetic lol.
- My sense of direction is rubbish, I always seem to get lost! Haha I have some funny stories about this.
- I love rock music and classical and a lot of diffent styles. Some of my favourite music is from The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky and one of my favourite song writers is Roland Orzabal from Tears For Fears. My other favourite band is Queen, and Billy Joel rocks the piano! Electronic music is also wicked cool, well, the good stuff anyway.
- I try to be a good friend and do the right thing.
- But I've also done some terrible things.
- Some people have done wonderful things for me.
- I spent the Summer of 2006 in America at Independant Lake Camp , Pensylvania as an international councilor. I took care of kids and also taught keyboard.
- Still teaching keyboard! Don't have many students, and I'm applying for a music degree having finished an HND in Music Performance at Perth College. I don't recommend the course.
- I like some stereotypically "geeky" things like sci-fi, rpgs and stuff. I'm also interested in the three Ps - philosophy, psychology and politics.
- Every now and then I take an interest in studying something for a while on a hobbyist basis and learn lots about it. As a result, even though I don't have formal qualification, I'm very well versed in those areas mentioned above as well as economics, theoretical physics, even some aspects of health and diet. Right now I'm having a wonderful time learning about Psychopathology and there are some great easy to read books on the subject that I would recommend to everyone such as Without Conscience by Robert D. Hare.
- I love partying! :D
- For those of you who don't already know, sharing a bed with someone nice = best thing in the world.
