I've Got Some Friends, Some That I Hardly Know, But We've Had Some Times I Wouldn't Trade For The Wo

About Me

My name is James. Nice to catch your attention! :)
Bands, DON'T try adding me on this page, add yourself to my promotional company below.
I am a soon to be a Batchelor of Science in Creative Music Technology student at Greenwich University, and regardless of what the schools section says, all my lessons are based in Canterbury. I work for different promotors in the Thanet music scene, as well as run my own. Music is a huge part of my life and I have done everything from PA, promotion, advertising, playing for bands, fanzines, managing, organisations, producing and recording, and so forth. I hope to have my own production studio sometime soon, as well as get in a hardcore punk/rock band. Let me know if you are interested!!!
I am my own person, I LOVE originality, I am anything and everything in a categorical sense... I think people who follow the crowd are absolute muppets but it's their own fault if they want to be a sheep. If you follow the crowd, you will soon be part of it.
Overall... I am my own person, which is the way to be!!!! :D BE PROUD OF YOURSELF, DON'T LET ANYONE BRING YOU DOWN FOR WHO YOU ARE. Fuck the haters and the narrow minded people of this world!
I'm always up for a laugh. I am extremely open-minded. I have a very warped, random and dry sense of humour which a lot of people don't often get. This leads to arguements or random states of confusion towards others at times... so yeah, sorry bout that.
Intelligent and deep conversations are great, as are silly and random conversations :)
I love my family and friends more than you will ever know. They mean the world to me and I would die for them. Please don't mess with them. That will be the only time you will see me angry...
At the moment I am currently trying to find my way in the real world. I'm not after any commitment, relationships or anything like that. I am out to have a laugh, meet new people and have lots of fun along the way! And so far, it has been pretty damn bloody good!
I am also happy about the smoking ban. I have no sympathy! My clothes smell clean everytime I got out now :)
I absolutely hate vinegar, narrow-mindedness, bitchiness, spiders, liars and attention seekers. I have no time for you whatsoever.
I also run a live music promotions... RUMBLE IN THE GHETTO. Please add it. Now preferabally.
And I also work for this webzine/fanzine, lovely people :)
But yeah, gimme a bell, I don't bite! Only within reason... ;)
