Hey all, hows it going

About Me

the names Joe, i am a trombone player from the area of Watford. Music is the direction i will be heading for in the future of my life. People see me as kinda weird, and they have every right to. There have been many incidents where i have made a fool of myself, but i don't care. Generally i am quite shy and insecure about my own life. One minute i'll be wishing i was better at this or that, and it often feels like i don't know where i belong, but hey i don't care because at the moment my life's sweet. I only have one dislike in my life. CHAVS and chav culture. They make me sick anything offensive or rude that goes on this flash tool are not my doing

My Interests

TROMBONE, i can also play the piano and am learning guitar and bass, i sing too, i like listening to music, playing video games, swimming, tennis, badminton, trampolining, would love to learn to play ice hockey and many other sports too. I also have a metal detector which i sometimes go out using, provided the owners of the land will let me dig it up. I like reading, watching films, magic the gathering, chess and various other board games, probably missed something out.
