oldskoolian (36) from Staffordshire
Hello and welcome to my profile. Feel free to nose around.
Just another person trying to make it through life in the best possible way i can. I try to be thoughtful and considerate but unfortunately do not always succeed as i often tell things how i see them regardless of what others think. If you take things seriously all the time then there is a hooooj chance me and you ain't gonna get along. If you never take things seriously then we're probably not gonna get along.
The main priority in my life is my son. He is definitely the thing i'm the most proud of. After him it's my family and friends. My friends have been real diamonds over the past few years and continue to be. My family for the most part are sound and of course i can't forget the great friends i've made on MSE. I'm quite lucky to go through life knowing so many fine people.
I love/hate fixing computers. I love doing charity work and i really love DJ'ing. I love going to raves and love rave music. In the past i've co-promoted and co-organised under 18's raves. I've DJ'ed for Bass-X and Encore Promotions. I was formerly the resident DJ for SSP's "Resuscit-8" oldskool rave nights which were held in the Stafford/Lichfield area. I'm now back to being a resident DJ for "Rave 88".
I was a senior volunteer for a children's hospice trust. I love my voluntary work and have met some interesting people through it as well as help a really worthwhile cause. The place i volunteered for has now closed. I was there nearly 12 years so it's a shame. I have found new voluntary work working for a place that helps out people on low incomes.
In the past year i have studied and achieved my City & Guilds level 2 in numeracy and also my ECDL aka European Computer Driving Licences (it has nothing to do with cars).
There's much more to me so you can never know me through this profile alone. Send a message if you have a question or just want to say hi.
I'm seeking nice, friendly people to talk to that don't take the trivial things in life too seriously.
I'm always interested in making new friends as there are a ton of interesting folk on here. If there is anyone who has a love for the same music as me please drop me a line.
