about W4S73D__Y0UF:

"i was born under a wondering star".  Well thats how the song goes, but it doesn't really apply to me.  i was born in guys hospital london on 17/10/77, the product of josi and lincoln.

from 1984 - 1989 I attended st. george's rc primary school.  those years were pretty non eventful.  then from 1989  - 1994 i went to
salesian college in battersea.  again noting much heppened here.  it was an all boys school run by priests, which i think is why i'm a bit of a deviant.  things got better at st. francis xavier 6th form college which i went to from 1994 - 1997.  this place was ace.  no priests, party time, no uniforms and girls.  fuckin' a.

after 6th form, i messed up and decided not to go to university.  i landed my self a job at
hsbc in a clearing house setting up direct debits and standing orders.  this sucked a ton of ass.  so i was in this job and it was really getting to me.  i was like only there for like 3 months and i decided to go to university after all.  i went through clearing and found myself at the university of luton from 1997 - 2000.  here i "studied" modern history with irish history.  really, it was just a big booze fest.  it was during this time that i got interested in miltary history mostly due to professor ian beckett who was head of the history department at that time.  during my time at luton, i made a bunch of mates and generally just did a lot of drinking (glug, glug, glug).  my dissertation was entitled "vernichtungsgedanske vs the armoured idea".  it was around about this time that i decided that i wanted a job involved with history, so i started writing off to places like the imperial war museum in the hope of a job. 
during this time i did some research for professor richard holmes, on the social history of the british army.  that was pretty much as close as i got to a job as a historian.  i graduated in 2000 with a 2:1 in modern history and irish history ba honours with a tint in military history.

after lots of refusal, i got really dejected with the whole history career thing and decided it was time that i got myself a job that was attainable.  i joined the
reed employment agency and tried to get a job.  i ended up being placed at mondaq business briefing.  this place sucked.  i was there for like 6 months and couldn't take any more.  i was a "researcher" which i thought would tie in with my history degree, but it was just data entry from the internet to databases.  i bailed out and found myself at banham security where my father helped my land the job.  i was general office help and this sucked also.  banham is quite a well known company with very influential customers, but after working there, i don't know how they maintain this standard.  i was there for 6 months also and then started temping.  after a long period of unemployment (summer 2001) reed finally found me a job at victim support at around late summer 2001.  this place was ace.  i was there for about 3 months and then my time ran out.  the people there were great.  when my contract there ran out and i was unemployed again for ages.  it wasn't until january 2002 that i landed another temp job at victim support.  this was brill and i made some fantastic mates there.  unfortunately, i couldn't stay there as my time was running out again.  however, through one of my contacts at victim support, i managed to get a job at what was channel 5, but is now just five in the duty office.  this is the best.  i get paid to know about tv.  sweet.

in my spare time i like to play
video games.  other things that i like to do is party.  i go to camden quite a bit, to the elephant's head and the electric ballroom.  i also like south london pacific.  i enjoy photography and own a leica digilux 4.1 megapixel camera.  check out my photography page for pictures of things i like.

stuff that i like: happy people, breakdance,
kfc, bmx, the donnas, video games, tv, betty page, transformers, girls with fringes, 80's electronic music, ladytron, powerpuff girls, samurai jack.  they rock.

stuff that i don't like: moody / pretentious / false people, shitty pop music,
busted, the beatles.  these suck.  especially busted who deserve slow agonising deaths.

i'm a cop you idiot!
