About Me

Hello! Welcome, welcome to my myspace. About me, eh? What can I write in this miniscule space, on a tiny webpage, lost in a tide of other random web pages across the vast ocean of cyberspace that will grab your attention? What can I write that will define me as a person; that will intrigue you into wanting more, hm? I didn’t want to type a list, but then I didn’t want to indulge in a pretentious ramble either (possibly too late)so what is there?
Prepare yourself for a disappointment; I don't think there is much. Looking for someone vaguely cool? Then my apologies in advance, stroll on electric friend. I suppose I think that if you take yourself too seriously life becomes even more mundane, so I find it best just to do exactly what you feel like, say exactly what you feel like and just hope for the best. I'm a tiny person with a flourish of blonde hair and a slightly too-welsh accent. I'm not particularly normal, but I suppose it makes a change.
So, bloody hell, check out the place. I made it for you to wander around, inspect and dissect, get a feel for the kind of person I am. I won't bother telling you everything, see if you can work it out for yourself. Read the profile, read the blog, glance at the pictures (don't look for too long, the ego might make your eyes bleed.)
For now I'll leave you with this dear friends; in my life, all I want to do is effect people positively, have a laugh and enjoy as many moments as I can. Don't take anyone too seriously, especially the people who want you to- they turn out to be the biggest jokes of all (Oh yeah, I can go all Gandi on your ass).
Anyway, I'll go now because I think this could lapse into a pompous rant about how I feel about stuff, and I don't fancy inflicting that on you on your first encounter of me. If you want to get to know me better, add me as a pal. I'm all yours folks and most people would kill for that kind of attention from me. Shit, I went all arse-hole-ish.
Bye!

STILL TO COME TO MARTHA'S MYSPACE: More photos of moi and pals, some vids made by moi, some artwork by moi and anything else to do with moi I can think of. Hmm, I'm coming across as a little self obessed...sounds about right actually.
"I CAN'T BE BOTHERED. I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO RIDE, THE MOTION IS TOO VIOLENT; I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO WALK, IT'S STRENUOUS; I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO LIE DOWN, FOR EITHER I'D HAVE TO STAY LYING DOWN AND THAT I CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH, OR I'D HAVE TO GET UP AGAIN, AND I CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH THAT EITHER. IN SHORT: I CAN'T BE BOTHERED."

My Interests

Art/Illustration. I'm constantly drawing, doodles I loftily like to call illustrations. Also enjoy the odd prance around a gallery or two, staring at paintings or creeping up behind people and breathing heavily.
Similarly enjoy writing daft things and passing them off as purposeful and entertaining. I used to write a blog, so have a read, see what you think.
I have a dramatic streak, which may be obvious I don't know, so I love performing and being someone else. I also like to write stuff that other people can perform.
In the end, this is all I want to do; Paint people and situations with words, in an attempt to take the world less seriously and see it for what it really is; not worth the worry.
Comedy, but then again, who isn't interested in it nowadays? Favourite stand-ups would include: Bill Hicks, Woody Allen, Stewart Lee, Steve Martin, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais, Noel Fieling, Sean Lock and Russell Brand.
The other stuff I indulge is pretty ordinary; parties, friends, being an arse and trying to convince people I'm normal. Darling Franks and Shubs, couldn't ask for madder friends. Amy- actually not me in a brown wig, a completely different person. But how our friendship has flourished this last year.... a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank" Wearing a pink afro. Live with it, I do.

I'd like to meet:

Writers, artists, comedians, actors and all that lark. Y'know, show-offs. Professional ones.

TIM
Look at him, daft sod, throwing himself off the side of a mountain, trying to escape.
He won't though.
I keep him on a lead.

On a more serious note, he's everything I thought I'd never get and more. Love you :)
