About Me

Hey hey hey, I'm an easy going fella and like to think I'm pretty funny (i laugh at my own jokes!) and I'm smarter than the average bear too. I smile alot and am generally happy. I'm sincere and kind (I helped an old man get to Sainsburys on a windy day once!) and I'm very passionate about all sorts of things both serious and trivial.I love all kinds of music and read alot but most of all love films. I've always wanted to work in the movies which I made happen a couple of years back when I landed a job as a special effects technician (go me!) and life has been treating me fairly sweet since.A few years ago I did a degree in sculpture where I struck upon the idea of making mechanical arm simulations which was complicated but fun though I still haven’t found a real use for them (ideas on a post card please)I do a bit of photography now and then mostly achitectural stuff and I even had some pics published in a magazine once...gasp!I originally come from the wonderful city of Nottingham but now live in wikkety wikkety wild wild Watford though I sometimes visit home to see my folks and my buddies who I miss lots.Oh and I love facts...did you know chinchillas have more fur per square inch than any other animal?!?I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
