My main interests at the moment are my digital photography (see my photographic portfolio), my music (see below), airsoft (a team activity very similar to paintball with enhanced realism), bonsai, tattoos/body modification and my various .. activities. I'm also very partial to cinema (films and movies, see below), with the occasional night out with friends. Do you want to learn more?
Music
My musical tastes have changed much over the past ten years. From the hardest (and often ridiculous) Black Metal bands to inanely stupid dance music, I find it increasingly impossible to define what I do and do not like. I'll simply say that I cannot stand Jazz, Rap (and other hip-hop music) and Country Music. Anything else may appeal (or I will give it a chance at least). My current passion is industrial music.

Movies
Again, defining what I like to watch is quite a complex exercise but as a rule of thumb, I appreciate good acting, good artistic camera work and good directorship. Do you want to learn more?
Television
TV series, Drama, Documentaries, news reports,...
Books
I often find myself bogged down in a lifestyle where I'm torn between my online activities, my many hobbies and literature. It's a daily battle, but sometimes the dusty tomes win. Do you want to learn more?

A baby-eating (just kidding) liberalrivethead with secular humanist, pro-choice, pro-gay rights, anti-war and socialist sympathies, I'm also a Bright and a desperately optimistic free-thinker. I'm open-minded (which is not to be confused with "gullible") and I adore unique and unusual individuals.

Who I'd like to meet:
Level-headed, interesting, open-minded, friendly and reasonable fellow human beings who won't blow themselves up in front of me or damn me to Hell because I disagree with them.
Many of my friends who over the past 10 or so years have helped me tremendously (and with whom, I hope, I have had a similar impact).
George Romero and Bruce Campbell (of course!)

Friends
- Bands: If you are a British "alternative"/rock band that sounds remotely like Oasis, the Beatles, Radiohead or Blur, don't bother sending me an Add Friend request. Just because we are both based in the UK doesn't mean I like Britpop or the British "alternative" scene.
Before sending your band's Add Friend request, read this!
- Personal accounts: I will no longer be agreeing to Add Friends request unless I know that person, can see that we have things in common by looking at their profile, or this request is accompanied by a mail stating why they would like to be added. Before sending your Add Friend Request, please read this!
- Religious debate: Although I do respect and care for everyone as a fellow human being (regardless of race, gender sexual preference, height, past history, age, ethnic origin, religious or philosophical preference), if you intend to contact me in order to discuss faith, God and theology, please make sure that you read this and this before you contact me. This is particularly true if you wish to witness or evangelise to me.
