Myspace Comments | Myspace Graphics | Myspace SurveysLike the little pools of water that form from falling rain, like the night sky on a moonlit night, like the dimmest star in the sky that you have to squint to see, like the old Nirvana shirt that's so old it's falling apart but you can't bear to throw out, like the album you listen to over and over again you feel like you know every pause for breath and every song so well it is part of your being and part of who you are, like the film you have watched so many times you could watch it backward and you could still quote every line, like the well worn book that you still laugh or cry when you read, like the songs you sing when you think no-one can hear, like the tears you shed when you don't understand or something upsets you, like the friends you think you find and then they vanish, like the friends you thought you would never have but you do, like the distant memories that you want to hold on to or get rid of forever........All these things make me who I am.....the rest is just made up as I go along.....People do say that I'm far too serious and I think too much and I guess they are probably right, sometimes I can be really sarcastic, though I don't mean to be hurtful with it ultimately through the trials of life I've learned to just try to be who I am and if that is understood or not...??? (more often it's not!) I guess these days I feel like that's ok!.... ..

My Interests

I love music with every fibre of my being, it is my love and passion and can change your life in a heartbeat. Films and cinema and some movies (and yes there is a huge difference between the 3!) books, reading and literature have got to be joint on the list and I love to write. I go on about these things probably far too much but it's like anything you love it is so firmly part of who you are you are only ever conscious of it when others make you aware of it! I love watching sport, Football (soccer) mostly. I like to laugh especially when it's most difficult to do so, I like pondering life's little and life's big questions, I like wandering through fallen leaves kicking them so they stick to my shoes, I like loving people and I would love to think that I make people smile, I like thinking that "it's the ickle things" that make the difference to the world and I love watching the stars in the sky and wondering if there is anything more beautiful.......

I'd like to meet:

Someone once eloquently said "If you have a story to tell I will listen" it pretty much sums it up completely I think so..... From the people I have already met that I would love to see again, to the people I am still yet to meet and those I dream of meeting that I may never and of course those who have slipped from this mortal coil well, I am yet to discover if meeting them is ever going to be an option or anyone who has the capacity to break my heart but would never dream of it!

Music:

Ryan Adams
..
Add to My Profile | More Videos that of course is Ryan Adams and he encapsulates more than anyone what I mean when I say that there are some people that go beyond phenomenal - I have so much music in my life to name them all individually as I used to do is ridiculous as the list is just too damn long. I love the type of music that you put on and immediately it feels like home. The type of music that makes your heart either hurt and ache or burst with love and feeling even if the feelings it evokes are not the most positive, The type of music where you want to know everything you can and understand everything you can so it can envelope you completely, and equally you can envelope it, the type of music where you never feel alone, that you yearn for and that stays with you hours after you have pressed the off button, music you can listen to and KNOW someone has put their heart, soul, love, heartache and life in to. Music that makes you breathe differently, think differently. It's about allowing yourself to be your dreams or be somewhere else even if it's just for the 3 minutes of a song...

Movies:

Fair - Garden State
..There are literally so many movies/films that I love that you would be here all day reading them if I put them all but a film I think will change your life if you haven't seen it is; Zach Braff's Garden State. Before I list the Director's I love (going by film would just take far too long!) I just want to show you this, it's from the BRILLIANT RYAN Adams it's just really intensely beautiful
"Oh, Sunday" a documentary film. from Ryan Adams on Vimeo . See? I told you!! Spielberg (obviously - it almost goes without saying!), David Lynch (though it took me a while to warm to some of his films), Peter Jackson, The Coens, George Lucas, George Clooney (expect GREAT things) Richard Kelly, Sam Mendes, Jean Pierre Jeunet, Alfonso Cuaron, Almodovar, Scorsese i love the way he uses the city he knows so well (NYC) and integrates it so it's as much a character as anyone else in his films, Tarantino, Rodriguez, Kevin Smith, Ang Lee (apart from the hulk which wasn't his best! the cinematography his films is incredible) David Fincher, Woody Allen, Anthony Minghella, Christopher Nolan, Baz Lurhman, PT Anderson, Darren Aronofsky and to me the KING of indie cinema Gus Van Sant.......to name but a few!...so as I said I hope that gives you an idea?

Television:

I HATE the majority of television, calling it an "idiot box" is about right but having said that I do love Scrubs it is to me just the most inventive wonderful piece of television. NEVER has there been a series of it's kind that can take you from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other in half an hour. It is endearing, it is hilariously funny, it is at times poignant. The daily show which by it's very nature is truly unique and the fact that it manages to do what it does night after night is testament to the genius of all involved! Apart from that I loved Band of Brothers but I dislike tv for many many reasons so don't seem to watch a lot of it (apart from sport obviously!)

Books:

The Unbearable Lightness Of Being is completely incredible and has changed my life and continues to whenever i read it. The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins is in my opinion the best and MOST IMPORTANT non fiction book since a brief history of space and time (by Stephen Hawkins obviously)It is to me a book that should be read, passed on, taught and admired in a way that very few things rightly are. if this amazing book has passed you by PLEASE don't let it - it may just change your life! The Boy in the striped pyjamas, Salman Rushdie, Nick Hornby, Michael Moore, Schoepenhaur, Sartre, Neil Gaiman, Frank miller graphic novels, actually pretty much any Batman graphics though Year one and Bruce Wayne Murderer/Bruce Wayne Fugitive and Contagion, No Man's Land stand out.... Descartes (though I tend to agree with Milan Kundera), Camus, Jung, Sebastien Faulks, Sacrifice (Superman graphic novel) The melancholy death of oyster boy (by Tim Burton) Catcher in the Rye, anything pretty much by Douglas Coupland, Douglas Adams too. I devour literature and will read anything once if I was to name all the books which have left their mark on my life we would be here forever.

Heroes:

Anyone who is doing something that takes courage either in a personal or general sense. Anyone who has overcome massive adversity to achieve something that may be impossible, Anyone who cherishes life. Anyone who has ever fought for the freedom and equality of others. Anyone who tries to change things that aren't easy to change, Anyone who gets up in the morning day after day even when they have to force themselves to do so... I have so many heroes really that although to others they may not be, they are and always will be in my eyes!!! ..
