i'm just me. quiet respectful kinda guy. got lots to say just too shy to. i'm not some wannabe stud or womaniser (i respect women) just lookin to make friends with preferably intelligent people. i like living and being me. i'm comfortable in my skin and i strive to be unique. nothing hurts me anymore. suffered heartache and all that now i'm pursuing a positive path. i'm non judgemental so all people are welcome to leave a message. if you just want someone who will listen then feel free to vent your spleen. I have two brothers (both younger: 12, 16) and two sisters (4 and 22) so I come from a big enough family. I'd like to talk to other people who love literature, art (body and conventional) philosophy and subjects along those lines. religion wise I'm what would be labelled as "agnostic" which for those who don't understand means I'm not religious but open to the idea. I grew up with Jehovah's witnesses which has had both positive and negative effects on my life (though I must stress the negativity is only trivial and don't seek to discredit anybody's beliefs)however just because I happen to like Heavy metal music which is viewed as satanic or unreligious does not mean I will judge you if you happen to be devout in your folllowing I respect your views and hope sincerely that you will respect mine IF I happen to disagree. Like all/most guys my age I like to go out and enjoy the nightlife and can be found haunting the Corporation rock nightclub in Sheffield. Its quite nessecary to unwind now and then and set aside artistic aspirations to just enjoy spur of the moment life. I'm not looking for disgusting one night stands, webcam nonsense, or anything sex related. sex is overrated and quite frankly i have better things to do. Don't get me wrong the act of sex is both pleasurable and fulfilling but its NOT my goal in life to sleep with as many women as possible. I'm not going to judge people on looks and I'm not the slightest bit interested in people who think of themselves as better than others.My goals in life are to travel and see traditional Japan and visit Omi province to see the Noji river, I would also like to see the great wall of China, the Pyramids of Egypt and The Grand Canyon in America. I'm currently trying to write a novel which was inspired by the absolute masterpiece that is James Clavell's Shogun.musically I'm into heavy metal (but no I'm not into Satanism and I don't sacrifice animals or virgins and i don't wear all black and want to commit suicide) my fave bands are: Slipknot, Mudvayne, Mushroomhead, Stonesour, Murderdolls, Hellyeah (which I have tattooed on my knuckles), static X, Disturbed, Trivium, Airbourne, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Papa roach (the older stuff) Pantera, Slayer, Lamb Of God, To My Suprise, White-Snake, Nirvana, Rob zombie and anything with kick ass guitar solos My msn: shmotz.jm@hotmail.co.uk (please don't add me if your going to be abusive as you will only be wasting your time not mine)
