About Me

I’m a single bloke living in Sherwood, Nottingham with a house full of Brazilian fella’s and a Polish lady. Everything is good, although I think my music annoy's them haha. The problem is, I’m a huge music fan, I studied it at New College Nottingham (NCN) earning myself a degree in Music performance (or a BA (hons) in Sonic arts if I want to sound all fancy), I like it played loud and I listen to a lot of metal / punk / avant-garde / many other types of annoying music to the mainstream ear. Oh, and I play the guitar and drums too. They’re cool about it though. It’s good being around good people.
I used to play in two bands, that’s kind of dwindled down to just one now though. It’d be nice if Mantus picked back up again, but if there’s an opportunity where anyone needs an axe-grinder (plus shouts too maybe) come on over this way. I’ve played for 13 years. Gimme a try ;) I used to put on gigs too, but that’s a royal fucking pain in the arse if you don’t know the key players of the local music scene, or if you’re not a scene kid.....which I ain’t!
Oh, here’s a link to the band I do still play in, that band being The Rutherfords . I bash the drums and sing a tad. If you like happy pop-punk music, go ahead.
Other things I enjoy when I’m not taking bets for a living vary so much to the point that I just don’t have the time to persue them all as much as I’d like, so I tend to dabble in the odd activity here and there and then leave it again. I’m rarely bored since there is so much I have at home to do that will keep me occupied, but I’m usually busy either meeting new people or getting on with friends for most of this time anyway. Not that I’m complaining...that’s a great way to go about life.
I’ve become a more optimistic person over the years...I guess becoming more restricted in what I can do is teaching me what’s really important to me, and I now have more appreciation for anything worth a damn.
I’m not arrogant, I’m rarely dishonest, I’ve never cheated on anyone and I can be incredibly up front if it’s appropriate. I’m no saint and I recognize that everyone has their faults as well as the many things that make them a great person, but I generally don’t associate myself with anyone who is regularly dishonest, unjustifiably patronising and arrogant.
I think I’m a good person.
I think the same of all of my close friends.
I’d like to think everyone I talk to on myspace will be good people too. ..
