Football for a start, I dont get to many games at the moment because I play on Saturday's now... i'm an integral link in the team!!! That team being the mighty UNION STREET FC. I like feeding ducks and other wildfowl. I like MOVIES! Far too much fo my own good. I love going to the gym, apart from CV, which I hate... ho-hum...
I'd like to meet:
Mohammed Ali, Bruce Forsyth, TONY JAA, Kate Rogers, Takeshi Kitano, Mr T, the gorgeous Kat Von D, Harry Hill, Stuart Browne, the good doctor Mark Kermode, Bill Murray, Bob Tyrrell, Dave Langan, Nitin Sawhney, Matt Harding, Nakano Masayuki and Kawashima Michiyuki aka Boom Boom Satallites, Bruce Springsteen, Danny Wallace, Rich Hall, Dave Mirra, The Rock, the Scary Man, Brian Singer, Zane Low and last but not least Katsuhiro Otomo. People I can cross off the list now include Jim Smith, Nick Merry, Vinny Jone, Rob Van Dam... and to a much lesser extent, The Miz, who you may remember from MTV's Real World, currently working as a professional wrestler! AWESOME! I would also like to meet the kid in the video below. Anybody with that much dedication to one subject has to be respected!
Music:
The first record I remember hearing on the radio was "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel (I think) and its great... the first album I bought was "BAD" by Michael Jackson, back when he was still good and hadn't started fiddling with children... Then I got into Guns and Roses and the Chilli Peppers, who I still like... After that I went through a hip hop stage, but that was back when it was good and Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie etc were still doing a god job of it. Now its shit, fucking shit, apart from the odd little track. Guru and Lupe Fiasco are trying their hardest to convince me its not all shit. Right now my favourite band in the world is probably Death Cab For Cutie, but thats liable to change, although I never restract myself to one band or even one genre, so here is a list of bands and artists I rate. The ones in CAPS are special!!!... BOOM BOOM SATELLITES, KSXi, Vena Cava, Bombshoe, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, Motorhead, Audioslave, Amos Lee, Norah Jones, Beastie Boys, Coldplay, Johnny Cash, DAMIEN RICE, Rose Royce, John Lennon, John Legend (any other Johns???) Kate Rogers, Soundgarden (thats the second Chris Cornell band i've listed!), Phil Collins, Massive Attack, WRECKLESS ERIC, The Killers, I LOVE that track by Sigur Ros they used on Planet Earth, Roni Size, SAM COOKE, Scissor Sisters, Shea Seger, Smashing Pumpkins, The Cardigans, The ordinary Boys (even if that bloke was on Big Brother), Boca 45, KOHEI MIHARA, Nitin Sawhney, Nikka Costa... i'm going to stop now, my fingers are getting tired!
Movies:
Shit, i'm going to have to write another list... OK!... AKIRA, THE GOONIES, BLADE RUNNER (either version) Oldboy, Ghost In The Shell (and the sequel, "Innocence"), Appleseed, Ghostbusters, RAGING BULL, Insomnia, BLOW, Sin City, Clerks, PAN'S LABYRINTH, Tank Girl, Ghost Dog, FARGO, Hana-bi, Sonatine, Brother, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Robocop, Terminator, Alien, Crash, CHINATOWN, Beyond The Mat, UNITED 93, Anchorman, ON THE WATERFRONT, THE HUSTLER, The Godfather (only the first two!), Miami Vice, Superman Returns, Batman Begins, LA HAINE... Too many more to mention
Television:
I watch too much of it, but sometimes thats not enough and I have to get TV shows on DVD too... Miami Vice, Full Metal Alchemist, The A-Team, The Sopranos, The Shield, 24, Match of the Day, Malcolm In The Middle, Monkey Dust, Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, South Park, anything with a WWE stamp on it (as Dan would say, "its Hilarious"), PLANET EARTH (which is fucking incredible), Top Gear, and Ray Mear's Extreme Survival
