ali's thoughts
the joy's of useless information!
Name:Ali
Location:Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
Birthdate:1985-09-27
Bio:My full name is Alistair. At the moment I'm studying Business Studies at Caledonian Uni in Glasgow. I'm quite a quiet guy if I'm around people I don't know that well, it's a confidence type-thing. I'm a friendly guy once you get to know me, I do enjoy going out and generally having a good time. I'd say I'm not a very upfront kind of person, when I want to tell someone something I'll skate around the edge and doddle for a bit before actually coming out with it (if at all). I'm a two-sides-of-a-coin type guy aswell; one side is the extremely laid back approach which I take towards my life in general and the other side is probably my short temper. I'm quite an idiot sometimes, I'll get worked up at the littlest of things and punish myself for it, sometimes I can't control how I feel.

Music fanatic is sittin' right here. I love music, my choice of music is usually always going to be related to how I feel about myself at whatever time in my life. As I mentioned, I have a short temper and personally I feel my life hasn't been all that great over the past few years and so I've turned to music to let out my frustrations. It works, which I'm really happy about because I don't have to harm myself, which I have done in the past. I'd say I'm pretty far to the "right" in the scale from easy-listening to burst-your-ear-drums. My most listened to bands include: Korn, Machine Head, In Flames, System Of A Down, Dillinger Escape Plan, Pantera, Soulfly, Sepultura, Chimaira, God Forbid, Fear Factory, Pitchshifter, Rage Against The Machine, Slayer, Taproot, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, HED P.E., Killswitch Engage, 36 Crazyfists, OTEP, Ministry etc. There are loads more but those are all I can think of right about now. :)

I wouldn't say I restrict myself to heavy, angry and general collosal amounts of noise in the music department. I can still listen to and enjoy such bands as; Franz Ferdinand, Green Day, Blink 182, The Killers, At The Drive-In (oh my god, they are exceptional!), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Atreyu, Funeral For A Friend, The Darkness, The Strokes, The Hives, Queens Of The Stone Age, Snow Patrol, Maroon 5 etc.

What do I see myself as? Probably more of a listener type person, I do enjoy attention but I'm usually happy to sit back and listen to people's problems, whatever they may be. I'm not a leader, I wouldn't say I'm not comfortable being one but when it comes to difficult decisions I would have to turn to others for help on what I should do.

The area of love... if my life was a jacket, and each pocket represented each part which was significant to me, this pocket would be empty. I don't think there is anything wrong with me whatsoever - it's just that whoever I have had feelings for never felt the same, it was never mutual. Someone out there is for me, I just need to find them.

Words that mean so much to me:

The weight of the world
Upon me, what do I seek?
The horror of what has become
The touch of your hand

She was a precious lie
I always dreamed of
Took lust into love

The power behind your eyes
Makes me believe
My faith in you
Can do no wrong
I would crash the gates of hell

Is this where I belong?

Precious Lie by God Forbid

My life wouldn't have turned out like it has without the following people:

Christopher, one of the best friends I've ever had - 19 years we've been living 2 doors away from each other, lots and lots (x infinity) of misadventures with this young man. From the time we could have swore the Loch Ness monster was following us to the time we played badminton in the street with stones from my driveway (it didn't end well believe me. :P) Props go out to Chris!

Gary, another one of my best mates - probably was the end of primary school going into first year at secondary when we first kinda started hanging out. This guy here is just too innocent for his own good, cracking out some hilarious unintentional one-liners and general stupidities that have the rest of us on the floor - "That was close, I nearly blew myself"
