Glenn!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I have long since sold my soul, got a Murdoch special more than a year ago, so now I'm still clearly the best around.
and though of course this page is not "who I am", it is just my "myspace" profile.
It is still like looking into an empty tin of soup.
I'm afraid i am still not even gonna attempt to put who I am on here, it would be too hard to write a book, nevermind a couple of lines that are meant to summarise myself. I'm pretty much a nice polite guy, studying Sociology [3rd year no less] in Leeds. (The Course is run like it's a joke! but no matter. ).
I am enjoying myself, pretty great friends here. So now I'm in my 3rd year. I generally should be aiming to work like the nerd most people fail to be at this point.
Currently the requirement is 300hours on my dissertation on my chosen topic [hush hush], and plus the other hours needed on my other modules. I wonder about this.
When I'm not drinking, nerding it up on PES and Halo among mates, going to gigs [that I force people to goto, as they know nothing about music..], I spend a lot of my time with my amazing girlfriend. After more than 3 years she has understood that I'm a fucking oddball with remarkable tendencies towards whinging about reality, so it is all cool.
Thats still it really, all the complex stuff isn't fit for such a simple place.
Sometimes it could be said that I moan a lot about the 'state' of various things, mainly because I don't want future generations to suffer social retardation and be entirely individualistic &/or consumer whores.
I have a calendar on here listing a few little things I waste my time on when not thinking about the real world. A host of gigs and shows I hope I do attend, depending on time, money, tickets and effort involved.
Feel free to give me a buzz on here if I do or have known you, and do or did like you.
"It is, in the end, whatever the hell I want it to be; and when I'm through with it, it's going to blow a hole this wide straight through the world's idea of itself. "
This page remains the main reason I cannot be killed by conventional weapons.
