ABOUT ME

Oi, name is Alexandros, I am what some may call a part time visual artist and writer, living somewhere in the very heart of England (or thereabouts), and since I was a little kid I've always dreamt of traveling as much as possible to meet friendly and nonconformist folks from all around the world along the way.
I consider myself an extroverted and down to earth kind of person...I'm a concerts addict, love reading horror novels, fishing in pubs, gettin' pissed on vodka, absolutely adore black persian cats, sloths,. slow loris and barn owls and of course jamaica ginger housemade bread...you know, just the ordinary lad you find at every corner.
I am enjoying also the countryside and the randonnais every now and again.
I love animals and traditions people still preserve in some parts of this damn world.Far from being a conservative, but keen somewhat on traditional values places show off when you visit them for the very first time.Not religiously outspoken, but much of a newageist.(hey ho don't throw witch clutched eggs and rotten cheese, eh?)
A glass of red Cote du Rhone, Chianti or Beaujolais at a time's good too.

Yoga's worth at times but not keen on it as basics of everyday life routine.I somehow hearted Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism.Member of Hare Krishna Society from Coventry University as of November 2010.
Sometimes being a politheist is not such a blame.Agree or not?Ditto!

In my leisure time i use to write various things on my blog or i am taking photos of the little things that make the awesome days that worth remembered.For me, order and simplistic room designs are a standard of aesthetic living.(Ha!New Age junkyard)

I am not a sophisticated person, although many use to say i have sophisticated ways in choosing my friends.I should mention also I simply adore metal music from black metal to pagan/viking/wiccan to dark wave, industrial, indie or grungeyou may wish to add some country and irish music and bit of medieval at times.
In the long run, this is me, hope I'll meet some of you along the way.

Cheers, Alexandros.

PHILOSOPHY

I hope for nothing.I expect for nothing.I pray for nothing.I am nothing.Nothing to give.

The wind always blows from the dead s valley.(Sun Tzu, the art of the war)
