CURRENT MISSION

To live with more courage, creativity & laughter. But I'd settle for more money :-)

ABOUT ME

Male, quiet, witty, pragmatic, sometimes confused, occasionally smart, a success in some regards, a mess in others! :-)

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is not fixed, but currently I believe we have a responsibility to consider our lives and how others live, and do what we can to improve them. Even if we don't always remember this or succeed, the commitment to trying is what redeems us.

Music, Movies, and Books

Very difficult this one...hmmm. Time is short so I'll have to move on with a very quick snapshot - books by Haruki Murakami, Milan Kundera, Raymond Carver; films by Takeshi Kitano,Park Chan-Wook, Miike Takashi, Pang brothers, Woody Allen,Christopher Nolan; music by many ....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surviving..there are many moments that have meaning and wonder, they appear & disappear in importance to me as my emotions change - I'm not trying to be obscure or clever but I can't rate just any one thing above others at the moment...maybe tomorrow!

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's see...English, whatever may be useful from my training and experience in social work, some knowledge of Thailand & Japan, Thai cooking...I'll add more when my brain is working better!
