About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To give frreeee hugs!!!!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm always happy to have a laugh and a dance a do silly things, I'm a very easy going guy happy to go with the flow of whichever situation I find myself in! I enjoy partying until the early hours of the morning, or enjoying a quiet night watching movies or playing games!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to ponder on the past and worry about the future so just enjoy the present as best you can.

If nothing seems to be going right, try going left.

Music, Movies, and Books

Being the giant child at heart that I am, I love silly movies like Kung Fu Panda and other animated movies, However I do enjoy more serious movies I guess, like Into the Wild, Gran Tourino, Persuit of Happiness and many other action, comedy, sci-fi etc!

As for books I mostly read sci-fi fantasy type books, recently reading Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit! I also enjoy reading a good crime novel!

Music, well this is something that I could not do with out!! Those that know me will know that I always have my I-Pod with me and some way of playing it, headphones usually around my neck or my speaker dock! interests pretty much everything really depending my mood! Recently I've been going to a lot of local gigs and music nights in the city and listening to a lot of local musicians and bands, some of my favourites include local bands Static Soul, Holy Moly and the Crackers, Monkey Junk, Meghann Clancy, Skylark Song to name but a few! my favourite genres at the moment include Folk (various types of folk) Blues (prefering live blues bands)and anything Soulful! However I'm always happy to hear new music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I abseiled off the tyne bridge to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, I swam 4 miles from St Mary's lighthouse to Tynemouth lighthouse to raise money for Brain Tumor UK, and I rode the 'worlds tallest skycoaster' (giant 300ft swing) on my last trip to Florida (whether it is actually the worlds tallest im not sure thats just wat the sign said!) I can now also add the worlds highest Bungy Jump at Bloukrans bridge in South Africa and Sky diving in South Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I am currently trying to learn German so any help there is always welcome! I can teach people to cook some tasty dishes, help with English where I can and having studied art if you need any tips there I shall do my best to help!
