ABOUT ME

I am studying Philosophy and English.
I can be pretty thick at times.
It is hard for me to stay at one place for very long.
I want to see different things and I like to share it with people.
I play music and write words and spend ridiculous amounts of money on cds and records.
I don't like writing stuff about me. It either seems egocentric or understating.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness makes up in height, what it lacks in length. - Robert Frost

If you lost your faith in love and music, oh!, the end won't be long. -Doherty/Barat

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I liked the northern lights and the Taj Mahal and the Ganges and Chicago.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cycle towns at night. Plus I play guitar, bass, piano and drums and would love to share and jam together.

I spent many days in my room surrounded by books. I read and read and sometimes I forget that there is people around. Once I got the hang of it, I absolutely loved the English language and its literature, which is what I am studying now. I love to discuss art, literature, music or movies and just because I don't agree with your opinion, does not mean I don't like you as a person.
