About Me


My name Is Giorgos, and my full name is a bit more complicated for english speakers trying to pronounce a Greek name it's Giorgos Galemetakis. I am Half Greek & half Scottish, born in Scotland originally and lived in Crete, Greece in a small town called Ierapetra for 17 years of my life as thereafter I decided to come back to beatifull Scotland to take on Higher Education at College and University were I'm in my final year of BSc In Multimedia Technology, and I must say since moving back to the Country were I was originally born has really improved my English and in addition to this my accent has become as Glaswegean as it gets, which I believe it's quite something unique to be able to speak English with a clear Scottish accent and also be fluent at Greek, and it's something I am gratefull for. Moreover as far as characteristics are concerned I'm 6,2 ft, Blue eyes, brown hair, slim, enjoy smoking but prefer only within a croud as I don't enjoy smoking by myself and tend to limit myself, I like a good drink maybe now and then but I've gone through the stages of pure intoxication to the max being a student in Glasgow, and it's not as an enjoyable feeling the next day as when ur acctually feeling sharp as an owl when ur pished. Anyways lady's and Gentlemen I thought to join this site and create an account to maybe meet new people as this site seems to be designed for this mainly reason I believe. Personalitywise I would categorize myself as a Outgoing person, approachable and easy to talk to, I enjoy meeting new people and learning more about the way they approach life and in general having a general conversation covering any sort of aspects of topics, I would say I'm self-motivated individual when I really want to but can become lazy at times, only when stoned ssshhhhh :) sometimes, confident, enthusiastic, I enjoy taking on new challenges in life may it relate to the working field etc, So what the matter children lets Rock n' Roll!!!!!!!!!!

My Interests

Since a young age I have always been fascinated with Art, anything associated with Art, I Love & Adore. I took Art classes at a young age, from the age of 13 - 17. Back in my home town Ierapetra, Crete, Greece, were the type of Art I got into was related with holly pictures associated with the Greek Orthodox church. We tend to draw on a wooden canvas supported on a pallet pictures of different holly's we could choose upon, create the outline of the holly picture we would draw, and then add the filling colourings. If you ever have the chance when on holiday's in Greece, & if you like or love art, take the chance to enter a Greek Orthodox church and just have a look at all the designs and picture representations of holly saints. In a greek orthodox church there are paintings & picture representations of Holly's from bottom to top, well from sideways of the walls upwards throughout the cealings of the building, I find it very fascinating and amusing, and at the same time you feel as if your in an art gallery with preaching, it's such a beatifull view to see. Moreover I've always been into fishing & Swimming, one of my most favorite hobbies even up to date, I love it. Back in Greece I was always into regular or under-water fishing which is in general a very big hobbie to a lot of young & older people, as my town is a sea-side resort, as you would understand. Swimming to me is an amazing competative sport and it's also beneficial from the perspective point of view that it exercises all the muscles in your body synchronised. Another major interest I've always had as a youngster is Greek, Cretan Dancing, Not just Greek but Cretan, there is a big difference. Many people ex British think in Greece we only have 1 of dancing. In Greece the tradditions of Dancing is according from which part of Greece you are, like mainland of Greece, North, South, West, East etc. We dnt stick to one method of traditional Dancing like ex the Scot's, thats just boring and misserable. No I was always into Cretan Dancing since a young age, and participated in Dancing classes at 1 of my local dancing schools available. after a point were I would feel comfortable in my dancing skills, along with other college dancing student's we would take part in Wedding ceremony's were the Groom and Bride would tend to hire a dancing school team in order to perform in front of their guests, In my opinion it was an amazing feeling once you felt comfortable as you would get rewarded with money, not amazingly great, but when your 14 whatever you consider that pretty good, and at the same time you would have a laugh and a good time. So being able to have a hobbie that rewards you in some way and enjoying it, what else could you ask for. In addition to all this I viously Love music, especially these past 4 years I would say, I've been so much into music and art, I'm just Loving Loving it :)

I'd like to meet:

Billy Corgan (Lead Guitar, Lyrics) James Iha (Guitar, nowadays plays for A PERFECT CIRCLE) Darcy (Bass) Jimmy (1 of the best or even the best Drummer you will ever encounter = GENIOUS). With amazingly eye catching and well constructed video clips who Rock Like Motherfuckers on stage better than any other band live could ever imagine performing.
