    Rick's Interests
Music Hmmm, music taste varies quite a bit here. I can't say I like one type of music, or hate a lot. I can say I listen to a lot, but some things I wouldn't buy. If that makes any sense. So far it's covered small aspects of Dance, Trance, Indie, Rock, Chart, Chillout, Metal, House, Drum n’ Bass, Punk, Trip-Hop, Rap, Jazz and even some Classical. I can't claim to be a fan of a particular type or band. Merely I hear tracks, and I like them. Music taste has been influenced by a few things, namely the radio, the Tony Hawks series, Burnout 3, a few other games, films, and more recently; my brothers. Tom has introduced me to numerous bands, practically ordering me to get this and that. Will has taught me to avoid Run DMC etc. He’s actually shown me a few bands, so I can’t be too hard on him. Listed here, in no particular order, are many artists from my play list, but not all. Mainly the ones I have tracks/albums of that I really like, and maybe listed with one or two tracks that stand out for me. (Work in progress)

BooksYes, I do like to read. Fact or fiction, it doesn't really bother me, although I’d much prefer to be drawn into what I read. I enjoy a book more if it is detailed enough for me to picture it visually. But, of course, not so much detail that it detracts from the story, and I forget what it happening. Sometimes I have to re-read passages over and over again so I don’t lose concentration on a dull bit. I don’t like that. I often have numerous books going on at the same time, which probably isn’t the best way of doing it.

Books covered since summer 2005:
Dan Brown: The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress, Deception Point;
John Twelve Hawks (not real name): The Traveller;
P.J. Tracy: Live Bait;
Caldwell, I & Thompson, D: The Rule of Four;
Koushun Takami: Battle Royale;
Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me guy): Don’t eat this book;
Eric Schlosser: Fast Food Nation;
Robert Winston (the TV guy with the 'tache): The Human Mind;
Luke Rhinehart: The Dice Man;
Jeremy Clarkson: The World According to Clarkson;
Michael Cordy: The Lucifer Code;

Books in process of covering:
Elizabeth Kostova: The Historian;
Kate Mosse (not the model): Labyrinth;
Dante: The Divine Comedy;
Katie Fox: Watching the English;

Books still to read:
Robert Graves: The Greek Myths;
Robert Ludlum: The Bourne Identity / Supremacy / Ultimatum;
Cleolinda Jones: Movies in 15 Minutes;
Mark Bowden: Black Hawk Down;
Chuck Palahniuk (guy who wrote fight club): Haunted;
Sam Bourne: The Righteous Men;
Malcolm Gladwell: Blink;

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!


After being here for a few months, I think I should divulge a little about myself.

I am fairly quiet on here.
I don’t really have the time to spend editing this thing to shit, or changing my profile every two minutes, or posting loads of bulletins once I have made the most insignificant change imaginable.
So don't be surprised if this place looks the same a day, a week, or a month from now.
My top 8 (or whatever the number is) is not really in any particular order. It's mainly the people I hear from most. Or the newly added.
I don’t whore bulletins asking for picture comments, video comments, or otherwise. Again, I have more important things to do than use myspace to satisfy my own insecurities about how I appear to others.
I love signing in, and seeing I have new messages or comments or whatever.
I probably enjoy it more than many others here. I only get a few a week, so each one does actually get noticed, and isn’t lost and forgotten amongst the rubbish.
I don’t tend to repost bulletins either, or fill out run of the mill quizzes. There are exceptions now and again, for when I’m really bored, or have something I wish people to know.
I love hearing from old friends on here that I didn’t expect to.
If you’re one of them, I’m sorry I don’t say much.
I don’t just add anyone.
Ok that’s partially a lie, I add the odd person I don’t know.
But I will delete you if I hear nothing.
I don’t use this as a popularity contest.
I don’t "collect" friends, as other people do with stamps or key rings.
That will explain the relatively low number of friends I appear to have.
If you are a band, you have to be local and be of interest to me.
If I hear nothing regarding gigs or what-not, you are more than likely to be deleted within a month.
I sometimes check through my friends-list, and erase people I don’t hear from, or don’t know.

I don’t leave the generic “OMG UR HAWT!!!” comments which so many people seem to be content with.
I find it undignified and tedious.
That is not to say I won’t find the picture attractive.
If it’s particularly nice, I will leave a comment.
That’s rare though.
I hate receiving compliments.
That is the first thing I am likely to tell you should I get one.
I’m lying.
I love them.
They make me feel warm and happy inside.
I’m just too shy to admit it to you.

I fall quickly.
Not easily, just quickly.
It's a pity I can't do anything about it.
It'd stop me getting hurt so much.
I guess I never learn.

My artist list itself should explain the variety of my music.
I’m trying to collect the entire Euphoria series.
I have more than half of them so far.
I recently acquired a copy of Ireland Euphoria.
Yes, it’s hard to get hold of.
Yes, it’s good. It’s really good.
No, you can’t have a copy.
My friends and family have inspired my tastes a lot.
The majority of my music list is inspired by and taken from my brother Tom.
I have no shame in admitting this. He has awesome taste.
My other brother Will has followed the same route I have, so his influence is considerably smaller. However, I owe The Goo Goo Dolls to him.
Thanks to my dad, I am a growing fan of jazz music. I listen to jazzfm.com on DAB now and again.
My younger sister Harriet is into pop, so I just leave her to it.
After an amazing day in Bristol, drum n bass is kicking around on my playlist.
I love chill-out music. I used to wake up with it, and fall asleep by it.
Since moving back to Manchester I don't receive Chill Radio on DAB any more.
I love acoustic music though.
If a solo artist can sing well live, with nothing to hide behind, I am more likely to approve of them.
I love music from pianos, saxophones and acoustic guitars.
I love watching live music from local bands.
I dislike people who say they only like bands that no one has heard of, and go off a band because they are ‘mainstream’.
I love getting goose-bumps listening to music. Not many tracks have that effect on me.
And I love the lyrics in Baz Luhrmanns' "Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen"
I get déjà vu far too much some days.

I like sitting against a tree and reading in the sun. You used to find me on Bristol College Green on a nice day in the summer.
My fondest memory of Bristol was the Orange festival at Ashton Court.
Lying under trees, sitting on hillsides, walking in the sun, chilling with friends.
Until the evening, when a Drum n’ Bass set sent vibrations through the gathering crowds.

I love travelling, especially on trains. Sometimes I will walk to town, just for the sake of going somewhere.
I like waking up with the sun on my face and quiet music in the background.
I like smiling before I go into work. It makes the day that little bit more enjoyable.
I like enjoying the small pleasures in life. Like incense. And ultra violet lights.
I have a hard time saying no to people. Because of this, I was once giving to a number of charities and was a member of Greenpeace.
Damn street-collecters.
My closest friends have my promise of me being there for them when they need.
I care dearly for them, and I like to think they can come to me with anything.
Some of them do.
I give my opinion on the matter as I see it, although not always is it agreeable.
I give money to the homeless even though I know they are going to spend it on drink or drugs.
I like going out with friends for a drink, even if it’s just a coffee or a milkshake.
I have a tendency to be generous.
If you ask for a drink, you are likely to get it.

The description of Capricorn in the Collins Gem book of star-signs is the most accurate description of me I have ever found.
I am a perfectionist.
I don’t walk under ladders.
I avoid the number 13 when I can, that includes the volume of my music players.
Black cats don’t bother me.
I like soothing colours such as deep blues, purples and indigo s, although I wear more neutral colours such as browns, greys and beiges.
I have a dislike for people that type with half the letters missing.
AnD tHoSe ThAt TyPe LiKe ThIs.
4nd p30p|3 7h47 74|k |1k3 7h15
0|2 ..X/0|2$3 $+1||, +|-|1$
Especially in emails or a slow moving msn conversation.
I have a tattoo behind my left shoulder; a tribal style of Capricorn.
Mum appears to like it more than dad.
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
I get déjà vu far too much some days.

Shortly after I turned 18, I hit a mild “quarter-life crisis”.
It’s like a midlife crisis, expect it hits much younger.
It’s in wikipedia, so it must be true.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter-life_crisis
It still comes back to me now and again.
I cheer myself up with a combination of getting out, seeing something new, and music.
I can read an encyclopaedia for hours without getting bored.
I don’t do that often enough any more.
A guy once asked me what I desired in life and my ensuing conversation with him helped me to open my eyes.
Thank you T.
