Haven’t got a huge amount here, mostly shorter-term goals ATM:
I’m not a fan of this question, why would I want to be anyone else? I like being me!
There are certainly people I’d like to meet and hang with for a bit, but that’s different, I always want to retain my individualism.
People I’ve wanted to meet and have:
People I’ve yet to meet but want to:
I can never resist an opportunity to camwhore myself, so here’s a picture of me having just got home from a night out with some mates:
This question was clearly devised by someone who failed to realise that there is any music player *other* than the ipod.
For the record, I have never owned a portable Apple device (ipod/iphone/ipad, etc) nor do I intend to – supporting Apple means supporting a company that believes in locking down your freedom in proprietary systems.
I listen to all my music directly off my laptop – either with my Sennheiser HD212pro headphones or via a NAD3021i amp with some JPW speakers.
I set my entire music collection on shuffle, here’s what I got:
As you can see, I have a range of tastes. :-)
Turns out I don’t have any pictures of myself with my biological family since about 2006, which all make me look far too young :-/
However I did find this picture of my other family :-P
As you know, I’m a very private, reserved person (ha! yeah right!), however the answer to this question is a little too much to be putting out in public.
I actually tend not to hold a grudge that much – sure, people have annoyed me and caused me pain at times, but I move on, look at the positives and get on with life. Sometimes I’ll even interact with them OK later on, I guess I find it hard to dislike people.
Pretty much the only place I’ve really been hurt is in the romance department, rejection always sucks and never gets any easier.
But that’s part of life I guess – in the last year I’ve gotten a lot more confident and better at reading people and emotions, so life is sort of going better in this area. :-)
I’ve been building websites since back when I was in primary school playing around with geocities websites (ah, those were the days ;-)
I set up jethrocarr.com back in 2006 which turned into a blog the following year and finally got upgraded in 2010 to WordPress.
No idea where I “found out about blogging” from, I’ve grown up with the internet all my life and having an online presence has always been something that I’ve done.
I find these hard, I have too many photos of other people without myself in them. However there was a recent one taken at @mojooldbank with a bunch of twitter friends:
@jethrocarr, @sitharus, @xoxbubbles, @smrtgirl at @mojooldbank
So from the back, myself, the horribly cute couple of @sitharus and @xoxbubbles and Wellington’s number one cougar @smrtgirl
This photo is particularly interesting/scary to me, since I realised how much I look like a younger version (and less cool version if you ask @honorarykiwi) of my dad.
I listen to a huge range of music, mostly thanks to a good upbringing and musical education by my dad – since before I could walk, we always had great music on in the background – electronica, rock, techno and all sorts of other categories inbetween.
I’m not sure I can classify what I listen to into these categories, but I’ll try:
Happy
I’m never happy, it’s the human condition. ;-) If, hypothetically, I was happy, I would listen to a range of stuff including Nightwish, Rammstein, Rush, Jean Micheal Jarre, Kraftwork and more.
Lately I’ve been playing American Addio and Four Tet a lot, but that’s pretty much the case with any new artist – I’ll play it non-stop till I’m sick of it ;-)
Sad
Probably my number one for when I’m feeling down is Genesis or Peter Gabriel’s works, love this stuff and it helps me feel better. :-)
Pink Floyd and Nightwish also both work when feeling down as well as a number of classic rock bands.
Bored
I don’t really get bored, I have far too much to do all the time….. I can get tired of things and procrastinate, but I’m always doing *something*.
Hyped
I’d tend to go for fast-paced music such as Muse or some techno (think Rave Mission)
Mad
I’ll dig out the heavy metal stuff when feeling mad – maybe Metallica, Nirvana, or even more commerical stuff – I’ve even been known to listen to Linkin Park on occasion.
I do love Alestorm, which can only be described as insane pirate metal. :-D
This was a bit of a challange, I’ve had a rough month & week, so feeling a little down and hard to feel proud of that much. :-(
On the plus side, I did sign several new customer agreements this week, so that’s pretty awesome and I should be proud about that I guess. :-)
