If you're not in it, you're in the way...

About Me

I'm still not sure why I'm here yet. Even less so than when I signed up, oddly enough. I'm a fairly straight-up guy- what you see is what there is. Honest, truthful, understanding (I surprise myself sometimes, disappoint myself others), up for a laugh.

My Interests

Music, mainly. Listening to and creating. I'm trying to get myself on the production path (of any and all kinds of stuff) but it's a slow (but rewarding) process.

Computers (I'm an Apple man- PC people, spare me your crap, please!).

Food from around the world. Being the traveller I am, I like to sample cuisines and delicacies wherever I go. There isn't much I don't eat; I'm quite easy to feed.

Women! I'd like to say at this point this is only a passing interest, and that my knowledge/experience of such subject is painfully limited! ;-)

I'd like to meet:

Smart people. Cool people. Funny people. People who are a bit crazy because they just ARE, rather than because they WANNA be or feel they should. People with similar interests. People with entirely different interests. People with whom I can get chatting and totally forget what time it is and what I should have done that day. You know the type, right?

* IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW ME PLEASE DON'T BOTHER REQUESTING I ADD YOU. *

I'll only ignore it. All the people in my list are actual friends, either in real life or regular internet contact. Wanna be a friend of mine? I'm all for it! Message me, let's talk for a minute, see what the vibes are... But I'm not adding anyone I've never communicated with, nor anyone I'd never talk to even if I had accepted, nor anybody who simply asks to be added.

Should you absolutely insist on adding someone you have no real interest in, find my other page here: www.myspace.com/musicfromstamina .

Thanks.

Music:

All kinds. There's very little I can't listen to. With the EXCEPTION of:

UK Garage

Opera

Metal

Trance (of any kind)

...I'll listen to and appreciate whatever I'm given. All those with more 'out there' music tastes, come teach me something- I'm willing to learn.

Movies:

I don't get to watch too many as I'm never sat still for long enough. My attention span is embarrassingly bad when it comes to flicks.What I will say is I'm not really down for the Hollywood Blockbuster. I like the more low-budget, abstract kinda vibe nowadays. Once on a trip to Australia I was in a hotel whose cable TV had a world movies channel. It's the only day EVER when I was totally happy to just watch TV all day (bear in mind it was 30-something degrees outside) as they showed all these weird and fucked up flicks. Quality.

Television:

TV sucks. I hate it. Never watch it. Unless there's a decent movie or comedy coming on I won't even switch it on. I don't even have a TV in the house...

Books:

Should read more. I used to be a real bookworm back in the day; can't really figure out at what point in my life that fizzled out. This is something I really wanna get back into- anyone who can teach me something in THIS field I'd consider a dear friend...

Heroes:

Hmmm. I've become a little sceptical of this whole hero thing after one of my childhood ones went under investigation for allegations of child abuse. Kinda takes the shine off it a little, y'know?

FOG!

Fog has been the bane of my life these last two days. Yesterday it turned what was meant to be a 2 hour round trip to Reading and back ended up taking about SIX due to the M4 being a fucking nightmare...

I'm going to...

...Miami. Imagine that. First time at the WMC in 6 years, first time in Miami in 4 years, first time in America in 2. It's been a while. Still, I could do with another trip away to take my mind off th...

The value of sleep

This past weekend I learnt the value of sleep. Went out on Wed night to a gig in Guilford (I guess an hour and a bit outside London) with SP and GQ; they were playing, I just tagged along for a laugh....

...have been fairly eventful. A good few people have, as well as enquiring as to my safety and ting (which I of course appreciate) certain folk from further afield asked exactly where I am/was in r...

My weekend (newly posted as Myspace was F-ed)

Played Frankfurt on Fri. Party wasn't overly busy but it didn't matter, as the vibe inside was INSANE. Played a good 3 hours, easy. Great fun. Had about 4.5 hrs sleep in order to get back to the airpo...

And the moral of this story is...?

Bit of a bizarre one, this. Headed to the Far East for yet another musical excursion with the Brasilians. The flight is about 12hrs to Hong Kong and I've got a middle seat inbetween two women with ins...

Today is a dark day... >:-(

My First Entry (in the journal, nasty...)

...and I'm not quite sure what to put in it. Actually, I'm not really sure what to do at all on this site. I kinda got talked into it- not that it even took much talking- and now I have this little ar...
