Things About the Person who's Profile You're on...

I WAS ONCE SO HUNGRY THAT I JUMPED UP AND DOWN ON A FAT LADY...I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THAT ACHIEVED!!

I'm Blastbeat Regional Manager for Leinster and Donegal. Which SUCKS for you...:P

There's three of us (mentor type people): Jon in Munster, a great musician who's band won the very first BB competition (and they rocked), so we're both veterans by this stage; Jason in Ulster, who's MMC did great last year; and me....hobviously!!!

And between us we're planning world domination....and only the best MMCs get to join us!!!

I was a CEO in the first BlastBeat programme in 2003/2004 and our company, Phonic TY from St. Columba's College, Donegal, won the competition and most of the individual awards, including Best CEO, Mutlimedia Team, Finance Manager, Banners, Business Plan, Multimedia Presentation and Financial Accounts...

At the minute I'm in 2nd Year Commerce (Business and all that cal) in UCD, and I will Major in Marketing next year.

My Father was a Nepalese Goat Shepard and my mother was a goat...its not a pleasant story!!

I have counted to infinity....twice!!! (Didn't get a lot done in between!!)

I share a birthday with The Hoff

That is all...

Music My Ears Like the Sound of...

I like A and Z and everything in between...apart from rap...thats not music...it's just people shooting each other in rhythm.

Arcade Fire, Josh Ritter, Muse, Bruce Springsteen, Steer Clear (look for them on BlastSpace), The Frames, The Shins, Talking Heads, Sigur Ros, Snow Patrol, Duke Special, The Killers, Kings of Leon, Rodrigo y Gabriella, New Pornographers, Jeff Buckley, Led Z, Smashing Pumpkins, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan,Damien Rice, Paul Brady....on and on and on and on and on and on...i'm a bit promiscuous when it comes to music!!!

If you put me on an island with only six songs they would be (in no particular order):

Invincible (Muse)
Thin Blue Flame (Josh Ritter)
Wake Up (Arcade Fire)
Hoppipolla (Sigur Ros)
The Homes of Donegal (Paul Brady)
People Get Ready (The Frames)
