that's funny because last nihgt at a football game I had someone tell me that I was no longer as nice as I used to be. they were like, "I remember when you were so nice to everyone. Now you're really mean." it was... kind of saddening.

Nick Cave is Michael Hutchence's daughter's god father. biggrin

are you friends?

no we're FAMILY!

about your writing- dont worry about showing people your words.
when i first started out in bands all dem years ago, i always got SO terrified of showing band members my lyrics/songs ect....but after awhile it gets easier and it becomes more about just getting a song 'done'.

dunno if that made sense but there you go.

Section Two: Music

Have you ever regretted buying an album? I haven't spoken to the swine who recommended No Doubt ever since I bought it.
Have you ever given an album you brought but didnt like to a friend as a present? Nope. I'm sadistic not cruel.
Your first proper gig, who did you see and what was it like? Never been to one. Doesn't interest me.
If you could be any musician for a day who would you be? Trent Reznor so I could get work done on the next Nine Inch Nails album.
You see your favourite band/artist in the street, you try to talk to them but they tell you to fuck off, what do you do? Smile. Even c*nts play good music.
What song would you want played at your funeral? 'The Superbowl Shuffle' by the 1985 Bears - my funeral is going to rule.
Downloading music, yay or nay? More of this sort of thing..
Should a band/artist take responsibilty for the lyrical content of their songs? Of course they should if they wrote it.


Section Three: Movies

A movie is to be made about your life, who plays the role of you? The dude who played the killer in Manhunter (not Lektor) - Ted Griffin.
What movie from your youth should be remade today? Masters of the Universe into something more that 'Kneel before your MASTER! NEVER!"
Have you ever written a script? Oh yes.
Have you ever made your own movie? and what KIND of movie? Wasp2 & 3, Say it ain't so, Mama, You Sanctimonious Asshole, Super Punch Out: Kevin's Revenge, Predator (the abridged version) - they fall into the category 'So bad it's...'

British cinema, yay or nay? Yay.


Section Four: Yes Or No

Do you spend far too much time online? Nope.
Do you have a job? Yes.
Do you vote? Our ancestors fought for years to get us the right to vote for these assholes in power so to honour their work I do - just a shame we can't get the politicians worthy of our votes - although I like my MP & MSP - they be cool.
Are you religious? There is an afterlife, fact. I believe there is a God but no religion has correctly defined Him.
Are you in love? Not with anything human... um...
Do you believe in Aliens? And ghosts!
Have you ever allowed someone else to take the blame for something you did? Never been that smart or shallow.
Can you judge a book by it's cover? Course not.
Could you do more to help others? Yes but I want to help myself first.
Is political correctness a complete waste of time? Being tasteful isn't a wasteful thing. Being tasteful for taste's sake is just dumb.


Section Five: About You [Pt 2, Delving A Little Deeper]

If you saw a pensioner getting mugged, what would you do? Do my best to cripple the mugger without being prosecuted.
Who is the most important person in your life? There is space in my life for four important people that should be equally important. I live with 1 & 2, 3 needs to get his shit together, 4 I haven't met yet.
Who are your idols? Grown out of idols but Kurt Warner was the last.
What do you want to be when you 'grow up'? Kick-ass story writer.

Are you greedy? No but I want more than the average person.
What matters to you the most? Happiness.
Is someone that disagrees with your point of view 'wrong', 'misguided' or 'intitled to their own opinion'? Depends on the point.
Is there such thing as a selfless act? <shudder, not this fecking argument again - doh, the hours wasted on this argument> I refuse to answer because I see both sides of the question but if pressed then technically no.
What are your opinions on drugs? Escapism for the stupid and weak.
