About Me


Myspace Layouts WOW! It's been a while since I've been on my myspace but I'm BACK baby!

Well, I'm still a Londoner and a Bush man but that could change at the drop of a hat. I'm young and hungry for success so I'll go wherever my road leads to.

I'm a Journalism & English Literature graduate and am currently working as a recruitment consultant; but I'm really feeling that itch to get into the media and get my reporting/presenting game on.

I'm a closet novelist/poet/playwright/reporter who's seriously thinking about putting some stuff together and getting published. But I figure I should test the water and post a few things on here for all you good people to read so support is very much welcomed. I'm turning this thing into a one-stop-shop for all things related to my favourite NFL team, the New York Giants, my BAFL team, London Blitz and all my other creative and journalistic exploits.So if anyone knows any good publishers, editors, magazines, newspapers and websites - hook me up!

Be sure to check out my blogs for all this exclusive content and be sure to leave comments on anything with the Apparently Rich Productions Presents label...

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
by Edgar Allan Poe
(1827)

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow-

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand-

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep- while I weep!

O God! can I not grasp

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Writers I would like to meet: Courttia Newland, Nick Hornby, David Lodge, Constance Briscoe and Lionel Shriver (We Need To Talk About Kevin is AWESOME!) And if history and time permitted, my favourite author/poet Edgar Allen Poe.

Singers/Rappers/Bands I would like to meet: Kanye West, John Legend, The Roots, Common, Jill Scott, Jah Cure, Nas, Jay-Z, Black Rob, Glenn Lewis and Lyfe Jennings.

Actors I would like to meet: (in all actuality this is a stupidly long list, so I'll keep it to the one's that I've actually decided on what I would say to them) Adrian Lester and David Oyelowo.

Other than them:Fun, open minded, interesting people. Book publishers. Book printers. Book illustrators. Novelists. Poets.
