THIS,
dear friends, is how I looked when I was much younger...Don't I look adorable?
Yeah right, spare me the sarcastic comments.... I can hear them even while
I'm typing away at my keyboard.. Well this particular photo was taken just
before my FIRST roller skating competition. The objective was simple. Skate
round and round a ring for a certain number of rounds and the first person
will be the winner. There was only one small problem with me entering this
competition.... you see.... I ... DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO SKATE!..... needless
to say I finished last... I still have no idea why I was in the competition
at all... I was the only one there who didn't know how to skate so I cut
a pretty forlorn figure holding the railing trying not to fall as I take
step after unsteady step forward... always forward.
Haha... well that was a bit of history attached to that picture.. now for the nitty gritty. The stuff you guys came here for... Why did you come here? Did I ask you to? Oh yeah. I did. Sorry. Right, where was I? Oh yeah... the nitty gritty...nitty gritty..nitty gritty...catchy word ain't it? Ok, where should I start.... why where every good story should of course! At the beginning.
Date Of Birth: The 31st Of May 1978. Before I finished school I thought "Cool! My birthday is always during the school holidays". After school & starting college "Shit! My birthday is just before my major exams!" Groan.... you can't win every time.
Family: 1 sis who's a year younger whom I'm very close too until people ask whether we're a couple! I'm serious! You won't believe the number of people that think we're a couple. ok... to continue... I have a loving Mum and Dad... Sadly.. Mummy and Daddy don't stay together.. it's been that way since 1993 when I came back from a trip from America... My very last every family trip. Well. Through that, me, my mum and my sis have become even stronger Christians than before and we have been prophecied on that my Dad will be coming home soon. Dunno when, it's God's timing.. He'll know when we're ready to recieve His miracle.
Interests:
Well, the obvious
one is football. My fav sports are already on the main page. Football and
me have had a torrid & shameless love affair since 1994 but I've
started watching football since the 1991 F.A.
Cup Final. Tottenham Hotspurs Vs Nottingham Forest. It was the first time
I've ever watched football on tv before. That's how my other love affair
with Nottingham Forest started. Many of my friends probably wonder why
I chose such a crap team as Forest? Read on: My cousins asked me which
team I wanted to support, Spurs or Forest? Looking at them blankly not
knowing who they were talking about they calmly explained to me that Spurs
had Lineker and Gascoigne and Forest had Stuart Pearce. Now I laugh when
I say this but my immediate reply was "Who's Lineker? & Gascoigne?
Who's Stuart Pearce?" Well.. later I was to find out who those people are...
especially Stuart Pearce who's been my inspiration in all things football.
I admire his guts, his determination and his attitude towards the game.
He is extremely professional and a legend among other Forest fans. I wish
him well at Newcastle. Right. Anyway, I chose Forest to support because
they had less star players and were the underdogs so they seemed like a
team which needed some support. Well... it's as simple as that.
I, play for FC Zer0, a team which I captain, coach, manage, account (this
job has already been defferred to another team mate). I've experienced
lots of ups and downs in my time and have really enjoyed my experience.
Yeah... loads of crap. I know. What to do? It's the truth. You can visit
my FC Zer0 page here.
Oh yeah... I also play for a PJ Division 2 team called MJ Hummers.
We're not doing well in the league right now but the experience of playing
league football has benefitted me immensely.
Entertainment:
Music interests? Have loads.. after drowning
myself with Beach Boy's music I've developed an ear for listening to how
each individual instrument, note and voice play their part in the final
mix of the song. What sounds terrible alone could sound beautiful accompanied
by the right notes, chords & vocals. That's what I learn't from The
Beach Boys. Music aptitude. How each instrument plays an important part
even if it's used for only 5 notes. I listen to all kinds of music from
Classical to Punk Rock... I just don't really go for Heavy Metal or any
music where the fella just screams or growls into the mike... I prefer
to actually KNOW what I'm listening to :-D... Favourite bands: Smash Mouth,
Green Day, The Beach Boys, Presidents of the U.S.A., Supergrass (Their
2nd album is really nice music), & B.U.S.H. On the TV side I'm a big
big big fan of British comedies with my absolute favourite being "Black
Adder". "Mind Your Language" comes in close. I still love the old classic
cartoons and TV series. Do cartoons such as Transformers, Gummi Bears,
Voltron, Jem, My Little Pony, G.I. Joe, He- Man ring a bell? I have every
single one of their opening themes on WAV format. If ya want. ask. I also
have classic TV series such as Mission Impossible, Knight Rider, Airwolf,
& the A - Team. Once, again. Ask and ye shall recieve.
