Explaining the Name

All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
Coz all of my demons have withered away

The song is Demons by Fatboy Slim, featuring Macy Gray. A song like this might make you think I'm religious, and if that's the case then you couldn't be more wrong. I have a bit of a fascination with good and evil but I'm completely agnostic. I just love the lyrics because it's basically saying push through the hard times because there's good times ahead, and sometimes that's something you need to hear.

So no, my blog name is nothing dodgy, and is definitely not a drug reference (hehe). But I like it so I'm sticking with it. By the way, my name is Andrew to some, Andy to most, and for some reason Pants/Andypants seems to catch on with a few people. Go figure.

I'm 24 and live in an eastern suburb of Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. I'm what we call here a Pakeha, which basically means I'm a white guy, with Irish/English heritage, but born and raised here, as were my parents and grandparents.

I'm starting this blog because my good friend James from California has started one called Something Sophisticated (a very stylie name, and by the way James, sorry for using the same layout as you but it really is the best one :P ) *insert link here*

...and I thought it would be a good way for me to express my thoughts, even if no one else reads it. This being an introduction, I should probably keep it short. So I think it's time to wave buh bye and say see you next time. But before I do I should just raise my hand and point out one minor detail. I'm gay. Lots easier to type than to say, but I am 'out' to most people in my life so it's getting easier and easier as time goes by. I just wanted to mention it because it's relevant to me, so it might be relevant to whether or not you want to keep reading.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by :)
