Movies
I don't have any favourite films
I can watch anything really
Television
UFC
F1
+ General good TV...
Books
I dont read much/ever...
Heroes
I have loads of insirational people to look up to, but people i'd class as heroes:
Devin Townsend
My Sister, Holly
My Dad
Lu
Lu is a VERY cool person
Lu is the most awesome person alive!
Lu is absolutely amazing in every way!
Lu has a gun to my head and is forcing me to write all of this
As if anyone ever reads this...
I Play the guitar, and have done for over 8 years now (Don't worry, I'm no pro)
I Should hopefully be off to Huddersfield Uni in September '09 to study Music Production, if I get the grades
I'm very interested in music:
- Composing
- Producing
- Playing
- Listening
- Researching
- Attending (Gigs)
My music taste is mainly of (good) Metal, but i still love a variety of other stuff (Orchestral, Soundtrack, Ambient etc)
I can be a quiet person sometimes. Some people will say I'm always a quiet person, others will say I'm loud most of the time... I just vary depending on my 'surroundings' I suppose.
What else do you want to know? (to all those 0 people reading)
Katatonia - July
ENJOY!

http://www.myspace.com/animalsasleaders Holy shit! this guy is amazing! its right up your street! electronica sort of beats, messugah riffs in parts, 8 strng guitar, progressive jazzy parts and amazing shredding (i mean amazing!) check him out (its actually a band, but its another 'jari' scenario, lol. his name is Tosin Abasi)
Guess how I'm going to spend this evening? I have some beer and puzzle of 1500 pieces! It's been over 10 years the last time I did something like that... I just realised that one has to do something creative sometimes :) Something one doesn't do very often!
lol i wouldn't have seen it that way if i'd have been in your shoes but i can understand you thinking that way!
let me know on here or something whenever you're free and i'll "check the diary" lol...

you've probably seen the myriad of bulletins we've posted trying to get hold of someone lol, and yes it's thraaash! i'll try and get hold of him - cheers!
