| General | Goats, Ducks Geese and animals. I like music, Air, physics, film, genius's, the internet. how did we ever live without you? Art, all kinds apart from and including pretentious Art. I like looking at things from a wide range of angles but not enough to take the mystery out of it. I like trying not to sound like a twat on myspace, its almost impossible isn't it? I like dancing to music between 100 and 139 beats per minute whilst lights are flashing and generally being in a room full of sweaty fucked up people with our arms in the air. I was too young for Acid House and am now too old Nu-rave. hehe. nevermind. I love history and learning about it... from ancient to modern and beyond(?) I like Mythology, from Norse to Greek to Roman, but mainly Greek. I like comedy and often try to be funny, sometimes I fail but the beauty of it is that it really isn't a science, its beyond art. I like light but I think I prefer the dark. I like to cook. I don't like being hassled into being friends with random bands. sorry. I'm sure you are good but if I was in a band it would probably be better than yours, unless you are the Beatles or LCD Soundsystem or Radiohead. I love the idea of evolution and the fact that life changes. I find the cold virus fascinating becaue it evolves a billion times faster than humanity and evolves to survive on its host, if humanity was as good then we'd have inhabited other planets as quickly and easily as it is to pass the sniffles on to your girlfriend. Evolution applies not only to life but to music, art, film and TV, but I'm sure you know this if you've read this far down the page and to those of you that have, I apologise, it isn't getting any better than this so perhaps start reading my favourite bands and films.
I like to babble. I like to shoot the shit, with everyone, even racists, sociopaths, and twats. I'm an Armchair sociologist, but then again everyone is.
I love london, New York and Barcelona, I'd happily live in any of those cities forever and when I die I want my ashes spread into the streets. | | Music | Beatles (and all their solo projects, including Ringo's), Sabbath, The Who, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Iggy, Velvet Underground, Sex Pistols, Elton John, Nina Simone, Jackie Mittoo, Motorhead, Iron Maiden,Dio, WASP.
