About Me


ME:
Like an Idiot Savant, without the Savant
Terminally sarcastic,smartass would probably sum it up to be fair.
I'm a regular fucking renaissance man,
There's a whole bunch of stuff in the "interests" section to the left, it's far from exhaustive though,
as for anything else... just ask me
MUSIC
I've usually got a couple of projects on the go, moving along slowly, where I either play guitar/bass or both & some programming, I'm also messing about with learning to produce, - *insert generic pro DIY comment here*
although I must admit to experiencing a distinct lack of inspiriation at the moment
ARTWORK:
I do some design stuff under the name Black X List, that's what this profile was originally for, but it didnt end up that way, I mainly do artwork etc for Hardcore bands, although if I'm into what you're doing then we'll probably be able to work something out
PHOTOGRAPHY
I've also kind of fallen into doing a bunch of photography over the past couple of years,It's something I enjoy a lot, and I'm never without a camera. The results can be seen both on my blogs on here and on my flickr account here
WRITING
I do bits every so often, although I really should get myself organised and motivated into doing more properly.
The people that mean the most to me know.
I will probably delete a "thanks for the add" comment - it's nothing personal, they're just kind of pointless, if you really want to say something then send a message.
BANDS - please do not send me a message that consists of the "add to friends" link button, I wont add you unless I like what you're doing, and sending me those messages means I'm not even going to listen to it
Despite all that I'm not ALWAYS a standoffish asshole, (sometimes I'm alseep) and I'm quite personable most of the time believe it or not
Enjoy

My Interests

Reprehensible Behaviour, Sarcasm, Hardcore, Hip Hop, Sneakers, Art/Design, Photography, Reading, Straight Edge, Writing, Overuse of the Letter X, Sunsets, Long walks on the beach, and having FAR too many pairs of kicks, mainly runners, Nikes, New Balance, Saucony & a couple of pairs of adidas, and just latley I've been rocking more ballers as well, I've even bought a few pairs of Jordans, which I couldnt have ever predicted... what the fuck am I meant to fill this nonsense up with?

I'd like to meet:
