About Me


nUCLEArcENTURy.COMBorn in Sussex in March 82 to a draftswoman and a company clerk, I spent the first 3 years of my life in East grinstead. I Moved to Mudeford in Dorset when I was 3 possibly due to working transitions between parents. After an ugly 3 years there I moved with my Mother to Surrey, spending the first few months in Addlestone. I then moved to Hersham to stay with family before settling in Walton-on-Thames, living in a high rise block. Moving through the years not much changed in my small town. After spending a rather depressing time at school I decided I needed to move away. This possibly one of the most questionable decisions of my life, I moved to Bournemouth to stay with my Dad. I finished school there failing rather miserably (due to reasons not related to denseness). After leaving school I found it difficult to get work, eventually settling into retail work. Flitting from job to job with various highs and lows and after meeting some cool people along the way and some right dickheads I eventually returned to Walton to attend college. I studied computing with strengths and weaknesses in various fields. After passing the first year I decided to go and do another 2 years but I lost my thirst for the subject and dropped out after 3 months. I fell into an office job and life passed by. After some more upheaval moving between Surrey and Dorset. I eventually settled in Surrey.I enjoy going to concerts, listening to music, making music (badly) and just generally the scene and culture. I have seen countless bands including Black Sabbath, Pitchshifter, My life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Ministry, Megadeth, Down, Chemlab , Opeth and Rammstein to name a few. I also enjoy film and own maybe too many DVD's. I also have an interest in football not so much playing it anymore but I do enjoy following my lifelong club Chelsea now.

My Interests

Music more than anything, attempting to sort my life out and work out what I want to do with myself, Film as I've already mentioned. Travelling, And the odd bit of PlayStation

I'd like to meet:

Scensters, Freaks, Rivetheads, Metalheads, Musicians. People who know music and the business and have an opinion.As for famous people, I wouldn't mind meeting Frank Lampard as he's possibly the best central midfielder on the planet. I'd also like to meet Al Jourgensen from Ministry as that band helped me discover what kind of music was for me. Also if you could resurrect him I'd love to meet Douglas Adams and ask him where he got his inspiration for his books. William Burroughs is also another individual I would like to meet as he was the pioneer of the discovery of government propaganda.

The human race is the most stupid and unfair kind of race. A lot of runners don't even get decent sneakers or clean drinking water.

Some runners are born with a massive head start, every possible help along the way and still the referees seem to be on their side.

It's not surprising a lot of people have given up competing altogether and gone to sit in the grandstand, eat junk and shout abuse.

What the human race needs is a lot more streakers.
