Loved Batman Begins I nearly cried at how good and accurate it is. 5 Stars
Soft spot for Kung-Fu flicks. Old Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee stuff

About me: The names Hickman, Paul Hickman.
I like to eat. I do stand up.
I'm in a band. We are the BRIDES OF KONG. We have the best band name ever. I challenge you to tell me otherwise.
I also sing a few numbers for these bad boys. Surfs up, its the mighty MANTAWRAYS. "Mungo sing now!"
This is a poster for a band what i was in....'Team Rent Boys'.
I like things, I hoard books, vinyl, graphic novels, and stuff. I don't need any of them, but I can't bear to lose them. Live music is the go, and I am constantly trying to get everyone to call me LL Cool Paul (Ladies Love Cool Paul), but everyone thinks its shit. I don't get it.
