Scott "Cabal" Daniells

This thing wont let me use backslashes!!!!!

About Me

Hey I'm Scott... so now the introductions are over I'll tell you a bit about myself.

I'm one of the directors of Worst Decision - a company established to manage street teams for bands we love. "Why?" I hear you ask. Well - because we all love music and know we can organise things better ourselves than the "leading other brand". Check us out.

I'm also one of the webmasters of CnCWorld - a Command & Conquer fansite that has been online since 1999. One of the "old daddies" as we were once described by Delphi at Westwood Studios.

I like travelling and have been to the following countries: Antigua, Australia, Austria, Barbados, Belgium, Egypt, England, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Namibia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, USA, Wales. Ok so a couple of the European ones were on the way to other countries but still been to them.

My Interests

Music, computer games, chatting, going to gigs, travelling, photography, my friends

I'd like to meet:

Joaquin Phoenix, M. Night Shyamalan, Tommy Lee Jones, Paul Verhoeven, Casper Van Dien, Michael Ironside, Jake Busey, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Tom Hanks, George Lucas, Brendan Fraser, Tim Allen, Nicholas Cage, Bam Margera

Also the menbers of Nightwish, Seether, Linkin Park and Evanescence (whats left of them) as well as the Worst Decision bands, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Zoe Poledouris

Oh yeah... and the former staff of Westwood Studios..... mainly the ones I used to have good relations with. Frank Klepacki, Chris Rubyor, Dan Cermak, Harvard Bonin, Mark Skaggs, Lou Castle, Thilo Huebner, Eric Gooch etc

On MySpace I'd like to meet anybody that wants to chat... liking music would be a big bonus - as music is basically my life at the moment. Or if I've met you in the past, or know you through various street teams, then feel free to add me too.
