OK Total Revamp time!

I'm a very - Live for the Now - kind of person.
I don't think there's much point in living life unless you're actually LIVING it!
That can (and often does) mean random trips to random places, random text messages from me that simply state "PUB?", and normally (and most importantly) lots of good times, and giggles!

I've been known to write a little prose, actually wrote a novel on one occasion - more of a way to recycle thoughts floating in my mind! I also dabble in a little poetry and the like, I like to think it's a good way to relieve stress, and sometimes is the only way to really get a message across.

Moving on from this however, I can be a very broody and shy kind of guy depending on the mood. Something I managed to get very good at when I first moved to the Netherlands from England almost a year ago. I make new friends very easily, and I'm told I'm quite a fun person to have around, but you have to do the first move kinda thing. Unless you really want to be talking to a slavering, tounge tied loon. But like I said, once we get past the initial 10 mins, it's normally like we're best mates!

Spare time for me is normally devoted to running around propping up John Mullins Irish Bar in Maastricht, or terrorising plants with my EOS 50D Camera! I should probably get round to posting some images one of these days, assuming anyone is interested.

Aside from the camera, the beer, the pubbing and general fun times, I work a lot, too hard I've been told, and do have a tendency to burn out on occasion, but that, I suppose is normal considering the type of job I do. Of course the best solution to that is a cup of Tea, and a BIG hug, cause we all love hugs!

Not much to be honest!
Like I mentioned before, Living here in Maastricht, generally spending a year of 'downtime' before I really drive myself forward again and settle (i hope) here properly.

Living in a nice shared house, so not many bills, and not many responsibilities at the moment, which is always nice. Roll on December or so however, when it's pay off the Overdraft, and start saving for my own apartment somewhere in Maastricht, or at least close to it!

Generally living life day in day out, and hoping that I enjoy whatever life throws at me!

Well not sure If I would say REALLY good, but I'm a fair photographer, and I love to design things, Adobe is like my God at times!
I find nothing better than stalking a bee as it flys from flower to flower, still not managed to get the shot I want yet, although I have managed to get some amazing shots in the mean time!

I've been told (literally by the guy next to me at work) that I'm actually really good at making people laugh and cheering them up!
Now that's one I DIDN'T know!

But thinking about it, I really dislike seeing friends being upset, depressed that sort of thing. I pick up emotions from people very easily, and of course, if a friend is depressed then it depresses me also!

Well I'm not sure seeing as I have never managed to meet myself in the street, but being in The Netherlands, I would imagine a good start would be my height as I'm only 5"7' (approx. 172cm i think - but don't quote me on it, I don't DO metric yet), failing that, it may be the permanent camera bag with me.

Well - books:
Lord of the Rings, The Riftwar Saga, Tom Clancy, David Eddings, The Silmarillion, Stephen King, Tolstoy, in fact anything that can keep me occupied and I can find in english! Mainly fantasy/sci-fi/crime/thrillers etc.

Films: Way too many to list I think, mainly Science Fiction and good old man films like James Bond and Arnold Schwarzennegger. Bit cliche I know but my testosterone must get its weekly dose of televised violence and explosions :D

Music: Eclectic!Rock, Dance, Stoner Punk, Grunge. You name it and I probably have it/listened to it! As long as its not too Pop-esque.

Food: Again a lot, cant beat a good [pizza though ;)

Hmm, well mainly:

My Friends: I don't have many, but the ones I have I treat like family.
My Job: As i work with my friends, so normally more fun is had - and of course it pays the bills!
My Camera: I love it soooo much!
My PC: Yes I'm a PC Buff!
My Phone: Well it's my only point of contact with the UK, and ofc my lovely friends \o/
....and finally

Pizza! No idea why but I LOVE pizza!

Thinking? I do that way too often, normally thinking up new hairbrained schemes to make money!
Shame none of them work!

Other than that, I dont think at all really - if you think to much you never get anything done!

No such thing as a Typical night out!

But as a rule, John Mullins normally gets my patronage.

I won't admit anything in public but here's the deal.

You can ask me ONE question, to my inbox, anything about me you like, and I promise an honest answer.

My question to you is, do you have the guts to put the same statement on your profile?

Well I suppose if you feel like it!
Anyone willing to grab a beer in Maastricht, wants to tell me more about the place, or hell just fancies a chat I suppose. I usually reply a lot, but between 0900 and 1730 CET I wont be IM-able as I'll be at work :)
