Where do I start....I'd say I'm a deeply spiritual and passionate person, though I know I don't come across as that when talking most of the time lol. When I'm really passionate about someone, the feelings you get can be immense. Say your laying besides someone your in love with about and they're sleeping besides you and you watch them sleeping peacefully, its so beautiful, moving and natural. Or when you hold them in your arms and you feel its your home and no where else matters, its an inner warmth that cannot be controlled and the memories you get, stay with you for life. I guess a weakness of mine is that I reminisce too much instead of looking forward. I always look back on the past and like to relive happy memories instead of trying to make new ones. I think the best things in life are free and that money can never ever buy them.

Where do I begin....I believe in manners, gentlemanly values, especially morals. Sadly I think its decreasing in todays society and hardly exists. I'd love to see more people be curtious towards one another. I like to let other people go first when your in a queue or even if your waiting, its just the polite thing to do. Especially when someone is walking up towards you, so you stand to hold the door back for them to get past. I just think its polite and friendly. If you have a friend who is cold and walking around so you give them your coat to warm them up. I love the different aspects of Goth Culture; clothing, music, art, poetry, writing. I like the fact it promotes originality and creativity in a world full of mostly boring, repetitive greyness. I like the different types whether it's Victorian, Medieval, Romantic, Cyber or any other type. I like the PVC, Corsets, Coats, the Boots, I could go on and on, the main thing is when people put their own unique ideas together and create their own styles and aren't frightened to express themselves. I like it when people create a unique look which protrudes and gets peoples imaginations going. With life, I do tend to see things in a darker light, since I was younger, I always have, I do go through tough periods every so often, but most of the time, I believe in trying to keep upbeat and being positive, making jokes, people laugh. Even if it means making an idiot out of myself just to make someone smile, I'd gladly do it.

Cyberpunk is a theme I love, books, games and films such as Blade Runner, Deus Ex, Neuromancer..etc. Its something that grabbed my attention at a very early age and it has always interested me deeply. I like the dark futuristic setting, the fact that there are no taboo's that can't be broken, whether its about drugs, sex, politics, religion or any other in depth topic. Its edgy writing, with no limits and absolutely anything can be discussed. I can honestly see the point where Humans and AI are going to cross. We only use 10% of our brains and I think Human Advancement is something we still have a lot to see of. I think also Cyberpunk is like hypertheticals, what would happen if this happened, or if that. I like Technological Advancement. When a new gadget comes out and it revolutionises the world and takes us a step forward into the future. Computers, Mobiles, Portable Devices, Consoles. I like trying out a gadget, seeing what it does and getting the most out of it, also if you try other things to.

As well as the future and Cyberpunk, I also like a lot of Steampunk, its great the way the clothing aspect of it has sort of now hit the limelight moreso and people are creating their own styles relating to it. I like the Victoria and Medieval eras; the art, the stories, poetry, in general the ideas that people had as well as the setting. Again like steampunk, people create their own styles relating to it and in some people you can see a cross over of Victorian and Steam Punk, I like it when people make their own styles.

Musically, I like a lot of Industrial/Electronic based music especially Aggrotech. I like dancing to the chunky beats and the electric riffs that soar in one ear and out the other. It really gets my adreanline going. I'm a bit of an adreanline Junkie in all honesty, whether its dancing, being infront of a lot of people, things like that, not in a showing off way, but when the mood is right and the music gets you dancing and your heart going. Also I like Batcave, Darkwave, the odd bit of 80s music, Alternative etc. On the odd Sunday I like to relax to some folk or ambient to sooth the nerves and help me unwind.

Programming is something I do the most in music, but I like to have a go at everything, I've got my own guitar in my bedroom, but I absolutely suck at it, to put it in a polite way. As well as writing music, I like to write songs and poetry. It really helps to express yourself in words, to get things off your chest, to speak from the heart and from experiences. I tend to write a lot about Love, Death, Politics, Religion, Life, Philosophy, War and many other subjects that I feel passionate about at the time. I'l go weeks without writing a song, then all of a sudden in the space of an hour I'l write four or five, it hits you on the spot like a bolt of lightning, you get focused and carried away. I find poetry tougher, because I usually write poems to people on rare and special occasions, so I want it to mean the most I can before I give them the poem. I want to give it everything so I know there isn't one bit I missed out, but I'm never happy and always want to make it better. I guess in life as well, I always want to improve as a person and be better in every way I can. My first project called Liberation began back in 2005. Its a solo project, mainly a mixture of Industrial, Electronica and Ambient, please check it out if you have the time thanks. www.myspace.com/liberationmusic I like to help other people with their music in anyway I can. I've done some music and helped some people to write songs. At the moment I've got ideas for a few different projects and I'd like to give them all a go. My main project is Liberation. I've put a link to my music on here, please have a look and if you like what you hear, send me an email, also please please give other people my myspace address, it'd mean a lot to me, thanks. I like drawing, but I'm not that good at it. I like various types of art, especially Fantasy art, Angels, Fairies, Dragons, the type of art you can tell straight away that someone has put a lot of work and imagination into it. I like a lot of Fantasy basedthings, such as Lord of the Rings, Conan, the Neverending Story, RPGs. I think Fantasy is a great way to escape from the real world into another world thats only limited by your own imagination. Dragons, Elves, Orcs, Wizards etc...I love Luis Royo's art hes one artist I really admire. His vision is excellent and his work is beautiful. Also I love Victoria Frances art to, her work has a lot of detail and you can almost feel the presence of the people she has drawn, coming at you. I like to write stories. Photography inspires me to, along with Art, I like pictures that are taken which give off an atmosphere. I like pictures of serene, landscapes, of nature, ones which look beauitful and make you feel a certain way. Ones which draw you in. I guess I like to try my hand in a bit of everything. I'd rather do several things than stick to just the one. I think it makes life more interesting. Philosophy is another subject that interests me deeply. I like the theories and the reasoning. Whether its the Meaning of Life, theories of Science vs Religion, Reincarnation, Space, Time, Adaptation and the debates they entail. Sometimes I end up coming up with my own theories. I do think if you think about Philosophy to much it can give you a huge headache and you end up getting caught in Catch 22's. We might have the answers on the shelves already in a Library somewhere to some of mankinds mysteries but because they're not definitive, it makes philosophy and theories interesting as well as the fact there are no right answers. Since I was young I've always had an interest in trying out different things, now I like Web Designing, Games Making, Animating, Programming, Making my Own Games. I like to do a bit of everything. I always find the best way is to teach yourself and learn at your own pace. I've been playing games since I was 4, from the early days of the Commodore 64 and Spectrum to now with the Xbox 360 and PS3. I'd have to say most of my favourites tend to be Futuristic, FPS, RPGs, Fantasy games, but I'l give anything a go, if its good thats all that matters. I tend to be on Xbox Live a lot usually playing a game that involves blowing the living crap out of your opponents like Unreal Tournament or Gears of War. My favourite game of alltime would have to be Deus Ex. It revolutionized gaming, everything was interactive and resulted in consequences just like in reality. It was huge in size, the music was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing and most importantly the great storyline full of twists and turns. If it wasn't for Deus Ex I don't think you'd see many of the intelligent games today. I'd put Final Fantasy VII as my second favourite. That was also another massive game. Japanese and Chinese Culture has always engrossed me. The Films, Games, Technology, the History..everything. I like the fact that you can dress however you want and people will accept that without any prejudice or jeering. You could even dress as your favourite games character whether its JC Denton, Cloud Strife or Dante. I like the fact that people can make their own music, clothes or whatever they wish to create. There isn't a that can't be done attitude and people will fuse ideas together and make them work in an original way. You might get two genres of music that shouldn't fuse, but someone will make them fuse in a good way somehow. I like Anime and Manga to, which is definitely one of the biggest exports. Spirited Away, Sky Blue, Ergo Proxy, Akira are some of my favourites. -=[Thank you for viewing my profile]=-
