I am Tom Brooks, age 25 and I am from The Wirral in Merseyside.
I created this website with the intention of creating a lot of things using code. However, I have decided to do the complete opposite and create a website about everything but coding.
I am a guitarist and have been playing guitar since I was 14 years old. I heard my high school guitar teacher playing after a piano and it blew my mind and I thought to myself "I want to play like him". 11 years on I have a Grade 8 certificate, and A level in music and played in many bands.
Even though I am originally from The Wirral I moved to the East Midlands with my Fiancee after we met at University. We met by living in the same flat (Flat 16) in our student accomodation. I moved here because I felt like there was a lot more for me in this area.
I feel as if I am defining myself on how well I can program a website and I was also defined by my past illnesses which lead to me having a trachea scar and many others. My aim is to find my old values, the ones before I had fell ill, the ones I had before I worked as a full time software develop and the one who was creative and loved to have fun.
I feel over the last 10 years I have lost sight of who I am through illnesses, heartbreaks, loss of friends and losing members of my family. I am aiming to become a better person and I created this site to put all my thoughts and worries onto. So if you're bored and want to read someone rambling on I think this is the place for you.
I hope you enjoy.
