The Unbearable Lightness of Being

About Me

"constantly talking is not necessarily communicating"
I'm no longer 19, I live in Swansea, I goto Swansea University and I "do" English.
I'd say that music is perhaps the most important thing in my life with my favourite musician being Elliott Smith and of course, should you know me even a small amount, you would already be aware of this.
I once played in the band but for now I am bandless although I do tend to potter about playing the occasional open mic night solo-like. If you like the music I do and wish to have a bit of a boogie I'm more than up for what those in the know refer to as a "jam".
I tend to spend a great deal of time in the Potters & Bryn-y-Mor usually followed up by FACE/OFF where you can find me should you ever wish to talk to me.
Like many people have said, will say and always do say when writing "these things", I too am not very good at writing "these things". I like music, movies (eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, withnail & i, Igby Goes Down, Lost in Translation...), books (Catch-22, 1984, Catcher in the Rye, Terry Pratchett, Tolkien, Jack Kerouac) and alcohol.
Don't pass me by. (Ringo)
" i'd say you make a perfect
angel in the snow
all crushed out on the way you are
better stop before it goes to far
don't you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
that fell down here to lay beside you
don't you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
only a frozen still life
that fell down here to lay beside you"
Elliott Smith.
"We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now"
Infamy, Infamy, Everyone has it In For ME!
...I'm Only Sleeping...
i don't think i'm ever going to figure it out

It's all gone dreadfully peculiar. It could be the weed inspired beffudlment clinging on from last night or perhaps simply the fact that since Reading things haven't really slowed down (not that this ...

That lines significance I'll not spoil for those of you unlucky enough not to have read On The Road yet it's entirely appropriate for the end of Reading Festival.In a stark contrast with my previous r...
