modern toss - the stink of excellence in a world gone tits up

About Me

if you are band who hasnt taken the time to message me first, don't bother trying to add me, cuz i won't even take the time to look at the page.i agree that it has helped many talented acts come through into the public eye, but this does not mean that every poor sap is going to make it just because a few "scene" kids like your music. the bubble will soon burst. i've said my piece. don't waste my time! I'm crazy when it comes to life. Eccentric & spontaneous. I love vanilla sky, starbucks mocha's, autumn (October being the greatest month!), guitars, short films, novels, Nick Hornby, Quentin Tarentino, drawing, photography, vinyl, the O.C, Anna, my friends, Paris, vanilla coke, corona & lime, red wine,old fashioned romance, songs thats send a shiver down your spine and films/songs that make you cry. Adde Russell is my favourite artist. I drive a red polo but i will own a 1969 or 1967 model mustang one day. I recently bought my first house...

My Interests

Playing guitar, writing songs, making short films, writing scripts and attempting to write novels (i have a million started, but none finished!), drawing and designing, doing something everyday that scares me, sitting in starbucks. watching the sun go down, milky coffee, star filled nights, large blankets, thick black glasses, girls who aren't afraid of who they are, cuddling in bed, a hot shower on a winter morning, the look i get when i know she loves me back, napping, sex, being spontaneous, looking through the eye of a needle and seeing the bigger picture. being melancholy when i have nothing better to do, standing in the rain, kissing until my lips burn, meeting new people. being with my friends, because they make me feel more wanted than any others i have known.

I'd like to meet:

God - apparently there is one.......i'm still waiting!

a lesson in drinking

don't do it! it's not big and it's not clever! it causes arguments and you'll lose your mind and whoever is dear to you in the process. saturday night has a lot to answer for!
