About Me

Hey! Welcome to my MySpace profile.

So a little about myself… I’m a easygoing guy that likes to have a laugh (pretty much about anything and everything). Saying that I no longer give people second chances in life due to the amount of times I’ve been lied to, used, been let down and have had promises broken. I rarely express my feelings to people apart from myself and I’m a seriously deep thinker with a wacky but straight thinking mind.

I’ve gone through a dramatic change in my life recently. My hair used to be down to my arse/thigh accompanied with a big dirty man beard. The transformation is still taking place as I draw up my options to move to a new area and start a new life which will be outside of the North East of England.

Although I’m relatively young I have gone through as many life experiences as I could probably handle in my youth. In fact I have lost a good 5+ years of my life due to life changing and devastating events which has resulted in losing happiness, depression and growing up too quickly. As much as I try to put everything behind me it would be impossible and stupid of me to ignore these. Tho I’m now looking forward to the future and hopefully regain alto of the life I have missed during my dark period.

Music is and always will be a major passion in my life. I pretty much listen to anything thats musically pleasing to my ears from Doom Metal to 80’s Pop.

My Ambition in my life is to make a name of myself in the professional photography industry or be a medical illustrator, own my dream car (Aston Martin DB9/DBS) and build a house from scratch and have someone to love and share this with.

My photography has been featured on CSSC Bournemouth Sport and Leisure’s website as well as various business sites and brochures. Away from photography I have featured in an issue of Bizarre Magazine as viper of the month where the world learnt that I have a dislike of onions among other things haha.

I’m a bit of a gadget geek. I love being up to date with the latest electronic trends… even tho there already out of date as soon as you buy them. Im a sucker for anything made by Apple and top end television products made by Panasonic.
