So far this morning I have smoked a Spliff, played some electric, acoustic and then bass guitar. That's what I call a Saturday morning.

Yeah, I play guitar, but strictly rhythm. I'm a strummer rather than a shredder.

Same, well I'm a strummer and a finger picker. Got my first bass the other day too. Loving it.

You record stuff? I got a MacBook and have been pissing around on GarageBand recently. Great fun.

Generally I don't share much about my real life on here. But since we're all opening our hearts...

Last March I watched that Brian Cox documentary about the universe. In it he discussed the end of the universe. When I was younger the thought of dying scared me, but it had faded as a concern. I was too busy living my life.

Then I saw that show and it nearly finished me. I couldn't sleep for days at the idea of everything coming to an end. It haunted me. And it just wouldn't go away. I felt disconnected from my work, from my friends, my girlfriend. It was like I was dead already.

That is the closest I've ever been to depression. While my behaviour over the next few months wasn't entirely down to that awful feeling, it did play a part. I started talking to another girl, agreeing to meet up for sex (although that was also down to my now-ex being a complete git to me, but still my responsibility) because I just wanted to feel something. I became withdrawn and obstinate at work, my family started to notice I wasn't right.

I went on holiday with my sister and brother-in-law to the US. It was the best time I think I've ever had. I realised what was wrong in my life. When I came back I split up with my girlfriend, moved to another job in my business for six months, refocused on my hobbies and just tried to get over myself. I started planning to move to the US (2014 I hope!), getting my dream career under way (slow progress, but progress all the same) and getting a girlfriend who actually cares about how I feel.

All that time, I kept asking myself, what happens after we go? There are no answers, none that make any sense. With all the people that have died on this planet, do you really think Heaven has space for them all?

Then I realised that my life is too short to worry about something I'll never understand until it happens. If I die and there's nothing, well it''s not like I can do much about it. So why waste my youth on worrying about it.

Over the course of a couple of months I pulled myself back together. By Christmas I finally felt like I was back to who I was. A little battered, but me again.

The idea of there being nothing scares me, but not as much as the idea of getting to the end and realising I'd wasted my life. Sometimes I wish I could take comfort in God, an afterlife, etc. But in my heart I can't believe it, so I am going to make sure I have as much fun as I can while I can.

It's all about Boston, but I think New York is more likely at first. The company I'm pestering has offices in both cities, and Washington DC - but I can't go there because of how they robbed poor, defenceless Amir Khan.

My dream job is to work in music - I had some success with it in my early 20s and got distracted and my bandmates turned out to be unreliable, self-centred pricks. But I figured I can actually still do part of it, even if I can't be in the next U2, I can make a living from it.

Boston is a great place to be. Wherever you end up I'm sure it'll be a superb experience mate. :good

What kinda role would you like to take in the industry if you don't mind me asking?

It has been proven - that Tomas Rojas is a diving cheat.

Maybe he just drank Tizer before the fight - which caused him to lose after dominating - but if he did - then why would he lie about it?

(Damn whoever got my Flint alias banned)
