I’M JUST SOME GUY
How the hell does one write their own bio without sounding like they’ve completely disappeared up their own ass?
Okay, I could tell you about how I jumped into a swimming pool to save a kid when I too was a kid. The hero angle is a good one though in truth that was probably the result of watching too much TV and believing that I was as invincible as any number of American TV heroes.
I might mention that I spent my childhood riding my bike as if it were a race car, and too this day I still have the scars to prove it. Or I could tell you how I loved sitting by my grandparents pond fishing for newts. I’d probably have to put that in context by saying that I lost interest in newts when I discovered naked girls, or at least the idea of naked girls.
I should probably say I’m an Englishman, but I’m no flag waving beer swilling, bar fighting, tattooed football thug. I have to mime the words of the national anthem after ‘God save our gracious Queen’.
I could tell you that I’ve had a whole host of jobs and that I’ve been fired from a couple of those. I’ve been thrown out of Churches for not being religious enough. I believe in God and science, I’m pro-life AND pro-choice (I call that position “pro-thought”), and while reality TV has its place there’s quite enough reality in my life for me not to feel the need to consume a reality with a theme tune and sponsor.
Like anyone I am complexly simple. Like you I’m just going through life determined to enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts. I enjoy living on the lighter side, choosing to believe the glass is half full and that with every new turn comes the possibility of adventure and excitement.
