The Checkered Mind


So…

so…

my name is dom bob kay and i’m a 22 year-old bloke from splendid manchester…

i’m currently studying history far away in chilly aberdeen and hoping to get a cheeky degree out out of it all! god knows what i’m going to do once it’s all over, but i’m open to any suggestions :)

apart from that, i spend most of the time thinking too much and saying too little…

like most people my age i thrust most of my concentration towards music, fashion, film, photography, football, food and drink… the best things in life! and thus these joys are probably what i’ll end up banging on about throughout this here wee blog…

so… to start the ball the rolling, and as i absolutely love making lists, chiefly because they are brilliant distractions from what actually matters in the world, here is a wee record of my like and dislikes…but less of the latter
