Who Is Garry Johnson?

What makes the author tick and what turns him on?

I wish I`d been born a orphan - an abandoned baby found in a shop doorway because having selfish parents fucked me up.

My dad knew what he was doing when he walked out because he was self-obsessed and addicted to his own reflection in the mirror.
Throughout his life he didnt care who he hurt as long as he was happy.

Whereas my mum just left without malice but didnt think of the consequences or the repercussions of her selfish actions.

Together they ruined my childhood and almost screwed up my adult life but luckily I`m a strong character who always looks on the bright side of life.

My life was a roller-coaster ride with far more highs then lows and I enjoyed 99% of it because I never let things get me down.
The glass was always half full rather then half empty - but now is the time to get off.

These are the records, TV shows, films and people that helped me to defy the odds and have what I considered to be a happy life.
