About Me:
Life is too short to be sitting behind a desk for eight hours a day. I believe in doing whatever makes you happy, regardless of whether you take the dog out or in my case, sitting on my ass browsing the internet, reading or watching a decent flick with whatever time I have.
My heroes are:
Max Eisenhardt aka "Magneto"
Khan Noonien Singh
Bruce Wayne aka "Batman"
Bill Hicks
Kevin Smith (Writer/Director)
I also love and adore my fiancée who is my best friend and soulmate.
Here are some of my favourite quotes from songs, films, tv shows and people:
"I dont want to waste my time
Become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down".
-Sum 41, Extract from their song 'Fat Lip'
"In my life, why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live or I die?"
- The Smiths, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
"You wanna know how I got these scars? My father was... a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. Turns to me and he says Why so serious? Comes at me with the knife, Why so serious? He sticks the blade in my mouth. Lets put a smile on that face! And... Why so serious?"
- The Joker, The Dark Knight
"I have found little that is good about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think."
- Sigmund Freud
"Even an everyman with a kind heart becomes a rabid beast at the sight of that which he does not understand...it's simply human nature."
-Magneto
"Another dogturd, overblown, pseudo-classic from 'BE HERE NOW'......NOEL hoped this album would be his SGT. PEPPER'.....it was a reckless, impatient gamble that lost him his much-cherished dream of OASIS being the '90s BEATLES'.The prize would remain permanently----and tantalizingly---- out of reach"
- Youtuber 'rabsmiff' description of Oasis song 'D'You Know What I Mean?' and the album it was featured, 'Be Here Now'
A very well thought out and intelligent comment. It's fuckin ace!
"Where does it come from? This quest... this need to solve life's mysteries for the simplest of questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we would be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. That's not human nature, not the human heart. That is not why we are here".
- Mohinder Suresh
"For every being cursed with self awareness, there remains the unanswerable question. Who am I? We struggle to find meaningful connections to one another. We are the caring friend, the loving father, the doting mother, the protected child. We fight and we love in the hope that somehow, together, we can understand our significance in the universe. But in the end, no one can share our burden. Each of us alone, must ask the question. Who am I? What does it mean to be alive? And in the vast infinity of time, how do I matter?"
- Mohinder Suresh
