About Me

Well what is there to know. My name is Daniel Thomas Crawford and i was born in St. Asaph, North Wales On June 20th 1985. I lived there for a couple of years then moved across to Buckinghamshire in England with my parents and lived there until the age of eighteen when i moved out for university in Chester. I studied Multimedia Journalism there for a total of two years but then hit a really low point and decided that i could not continue with the course any longer, and that i was not coping by myself. I decided to pack my bags and move back in with my parents, i got myself a full-time job which i stayed in for about a year when i once again became pretty bored and wanted a new challenge. I decided to look at different courses offered by many Universities, i ended up choosing a course in Leisure Marketing at Bournemouth which is where i am now in my second year of the course and things are going great. Moved out of halls and currently living in a house, but now looking for a new place to move into. As for the future, i dont know what is install for me just yet but i do have a massive interest in music, and would probably want to go into that area of business when i evenutally get my degree. As for other aspects of my life I am a guy who is very much into sports. I enjoy both playing and watching football. I am a Charlton Athletic supporter and have a season ticket at The Valley. I enjoy tennis, cycling and swimming. I go to as many gigs and festivals as i can including Reading Festival, there is not a year that can go by without me going there. I am a massive thinker, if i am ever alone i think about anything and everything, from what is happening across the world to my own life and what i want out of it. When i feel as if i am going to hit another low point there is nothing more i love doing best than getting a good album out of my collection and going on really long night drives, so peaceful and quiet. I will often take a pen and paper also as i tend to stop off at certain locations and sit and write about how i am feeling. Another way of getting my emotions out is writing lyrics. Just an add on to this, myself and a friend have just formed a band called Reclaim The Skies, we are writing music and lyrics and hopefully will be on tour soon. Check out the website!

My Interests

As I have already mentiond I am very much into my sports, so that would be my interests. Also I am very fond of travelling although I am not a great flyer, really hate planes and the idea of being that high up. My main ambition is to be good at what I do and get paid a bit of cash for it, would really like to live abroad when I am older.

I'd like to meet:

One of my main ambitions is to become famous for something that i am good at, so meeting someone who could see a hidden talent in me would make my dream come true, and would be awesome. I would say apart from that anyone who is up for a laugh, and if i can not meet anyone like that i still have my family and close friends to fall back on.Celebrities that i would like to meet would be Lee Evans as he would make me cry with laughter. Bill Bailey would be another one, just to hear his insights to the world, also he is a brilliant musician. Tom Delonge from Angels & Airwaves, he is an all time hero of mine.As far as women in the public eye, i would like to meet Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz and Kirsten Dunst all come to mind.

Music:

As already mentioned i am very music orientated, there is always a piece of music that suits your mood. I am into many genres of music, and my collection shows many artists. As for going to conerts and festivals, i try and go to Reading every year without fail due to both the music and the atmosphere is amazing. Band thats I am into are: Angels & Airwaves, Blink 182, Green Day, Box Car Racer, Deftones, Team Sleep, Placebo, At The Drive In, Finch, Fall Out Boy, Farse, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Kings Of Leon, The Libertines, Baby Shambles, The Ataris, The All American Rejects, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Dropkick Murphys, Goldfinger, The Hives, Jimmy Eat World, The Killers, Motion City Soundtrack, The Prodigy . . . as you can see there is quite a few. The list would continue, but i need to get on with other stuff now.

Movies:

I am a big fan of movies as well, so again a never ending list; Anchorman, American Beauty, Chopper, True Romance, Oceans 11+12, Toy Story 1+2, One Hour Photo, Romper Stomper, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption (one of my all time favourites). The Goonies, Ice Age 1+2, Monsters Inc. Like i said this could go on for a long time, so ill stop there, may add some more at a later date.

Television:

I enjoy anything that will make me laugh, so general obscure comedy is right up my street. Shows i enjoy watching include; Black Books, Nighty Night, Family Guy (One of my favourties), Alan Partridge. I am a massive fan of The League Of Gentlemen. I can not stand soaps such as Eastenders, does my nut!

Books:

To be honest do not really read that much unless it is required reading for studies.

Heroes:

Tom Delonge is a major inspiration.
