Favourite music

A love a huge variety, from Rock to Hip hop & RNB to Classical To funky House. When I lived in Manchester it was all about House My favourite being Erick Morillo. I used to love driving to say sheffield, liverpool, birminham etc. with all my mates and party hard. Then during the Summer hit Ibiza for the opening parties. Now I go out to more RnB and Hip Hop in London which is cool it really more chilled. But when the boys and girls come down from the north We tear it up hard. But sadly those days are becoming fewer, everyone has grown up and got real jobs, wives, morgages....I'm like shhhiiiittt slow the fuck down. So to those who are reading my crap and are at Uni or whatever stop reading this and get your arse out and party hard now.

Favourite movie(s)

I love All genres but horror and comedies the best. 'The Thing', 'In the Mouth of Maddness', 'Event Horizon', Watership Down, The Shawshank Redemption, 'Friday', 'Old School'(anything with Will Farrell), 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas', "Human Traffic" But the two films that spurred me into the film making world are "The Goonies" and "Empire of the Sun"

Scariest moments

The two S's Sharks, and Spiders both of which i had traumatic experiences with. When I was about 8 or 9 my cousin, his friends and I were exploring a huge hollowed out tree. It had a cobweb that covered the whole thing, from top to bottom. It was so dense it looked timeless, like it had not been touched for years. Well anyway he said 'i bet your too chicken to touch the web'. All his friends started calling me a chicken so naturally i bowed to peer pressure. The bastard then pushed me in. It was the worst thing ever, the hole was about five feet deep and the web was thick as fuck that when i fell i twisted into it. Not that i was stuck because of the web but I was stuck on my back and there was no leverage and i was wedged in. They of course ran off. I stayed there for two hours with spiders all over me and I could do nothing. It felt like an eternity. So now the sight of spider send shivers down my spine................................................................... ...........As for sharks, Jaws the film was infamous for inciting fear of swimming in the sea, and had instilled the image of a shark acending the murky depths and bring u under. As for me I was about 14 and my family were in minorca on holiday staying with some friends. One day they decided to go on their sunseeker and go beach hopping. On first two beaches they could anchor very close to shore, however on the last beach we had to anchor about 200 meters out. The dingy they had could only fit the adults, so the owner of the boat picked my brother Chris and myself and threw us over board, saying jokingnly watch out for sharks. I began to swin slowly on my back with the sun in my face. I remember thinking how warm the water was when suddenly something hit my back and then my legs, pushing me slightly out of the water. "CHRIS U DICK, whats ur problem" I said turning around. Chris wasnt behind me, I thought he was under the water playing the game we called 'Jaws attck' until.I noticed him in the distance swimming towards the shore. I turned round to where the boat was which was quite far away, and for a split second i saw a fin go under the water. I turned white and swam as fast as i could to shore, i remember thinking any second its going to pull me under, and everytime i thought that i swam faster. I even beat my brother. When i got ashore i went spastic on the guy who threw me in, of course they at first didnt believe me, until the next day a friend of the boat owner caught a small shortfin mako right next the beach we were at. To this day I have trouble getting into the sea.

Happiest when

Since some of my old friends both girls and boys have moved on and become tied down and others are working in different countries; we always manage to hook up at least twice a year for a few weeks. But i'm happiest when i walk into the bar seeing all the boys and girls for the first time in a while, and no matter whats going on in our lives at the moment know that for the next few weeks we are going to tear it up hard having alot of drinks and alot of laughs.
