About Me

..[if !IE] ..[endif]

Cool MySpace Layouts .

Ok here goes. Im 30 (still hurts to say that), 6 ft tall, fair hair, blue/green eyes (by that a mixture of the two colours, not one blue and one green, but that would be cool..) living in London, originally from a county called Longford in Ireland, quite proud of it, even though theres not much to be proud of really! Love going back there though, I work as a graphic designer/mac operator in north London... Ideal job, working in a newspaper as a mac operator. Im quite laidback, frequently sarcastic, but can make humour out of any situation, happy go lucky and always a smile on my face. Im quite positive too, can always see the good in a situation even if there is none! I like meeting new people and all that! Im a bit of a morning person and can annoy people yapping away when most people havent switched on their brains yet. Ehm any more ya want to know just ask!

My Interests

Drinking, socialising, having a laugh with the lads, playing footy with a team formed in my old pub in Kingston where i used to be a bartender, we play on a Wednesday night and normally getting thrashed because we're absolute shite. But we got a draw the other night and champagne on ice for our first victory! Meeting new people and wasting time on this site! oh and our footy team Swede FA, profile on this site here...http://www.teamstats.net/team_index.asp?username=swed efa

I'd like to meet:

Can I put ladies I fancy here? Dammit its my profile so here goes... Shilpa Shetty is an absolute goddess. Penelope Cruz, Monica Belluci, the girl out of Evanescence (Amy Lee, shes lovely!), the girl who used to play Amber in Footballers Wives (Laila Rouass), Jodi Albert who used to be in Hollyoaks, all goddesses. Halle Berry is looking hot again!Musically id like to meet Jack Black out of Tenacious D, funny funny guy! and Dave Grohl out of Foo Fighters. Will Ferrell, purely for his genius on Anchorman. Ehm i freeze in front of celebrities, and they say never meet your heroes anyway!And id also like to meet.... The scumbag who decided to steal my iPod and phone in an Edinburgh hostel. You know who you are. Enjoy my possessions you stealing moron.

Music:

A bit of a wide range, off the top of my head, a lot of indie stuff, Radiohead, Kasabian, the Strokes, Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, Doves, Kings of Leon, Supergrass, Foo Fighters, Primal Scream, Muse, Interpol, a lot of rock, Metallica, Audioslave, Green Day, Funeral for a Friend, My Chemical Romance, White Stripes, Nine Inch Nails. It all depends on what mood Im in! Also a bit of dance like Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, the Avalanches.. also open to new stuff too..

Movies:

Can completely vary too. It all depends on what mood Im in! I let others do the choosing cos Im lazy like that! Anything from comedy to action really, though one of my all time faves. the legendary Anchorman and Dodgeball..

Television:

Huge fan of Father Ted, Black Books, 2 and a Half Men, Scrubs, Seinfeld, Family Guy, South Park, Simpsons (although the recent episdoes have been muck) Mostly comedy but Ben my housemate has got me into watching too much Cops!!

Books:

Books? ehm.... too lazy to read them thats my problem!

Heroes:

Too old to have heroes...and they say never meet your heroes! Childhood hero, Frank Stapleton (no relation thank God). Met him in Longford a few years ago, a miserable git if I ever met one. Other childhood hereoes, Paul McGrath, Packie Bonner, anyone from Rep. of Ireland Euro 88/Italia 90 teams... My last hero, Longford Town goalkeeper Digger O'Brien backstabbed us and joined Bohemians. So no more heroes!

Glasses

Yes tht's right. Glasses. Jam jars. Goggles. The sign of a guy getting old. The need to wear glasses. The stick I gave people with glasses at school. Hey four eyes, come over here! That sort of thing....
