About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to juice & cut loose in the Koots!

ABOUT ME

I'm a goof and a tad shy. Life is a bundle of love I'm unwrapping piece by piece...

PHILOSOPHY

The more I know, the less I understand.

Let what you love be what you do.

Turtles can tell more about the road than hares.

Some favourite movies include: The Big Lebowski, Barfly, Amelie, The Natural History of the Chicken, I <3 Huckabees and PBS documentaries

Books.... Ascent of Humanity, Island, A Confederacy of Dunces, 1984, Cry the Beloved Country, essays by Michel de Montaigne, anything Bukowski, Huxley or Krishnamurti
