About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat solid carrot cake.

ABOUT ME

Hello you...
I guess, to paraphrase someone else, I'm a fugitive from the law of averages. I'm a member of that obscure culture; Third Culture Kids. The victim of odd parents from different countries who brought their children up in the craziest Third World banana republics they ever did find. Little Declan grew up in tiny Zambian villages, Ugandan jungles and Sudanese camel crossroads. Now, when not referring to myself in the third person, I spend my days adventuring in Dublin, studying Russian and history, and generally hunting for mirth and such... I am relatively laid back about everything and can usually be found with a beer and a book, pondering and planning...

PHILOSOPHY

To reverse a problem once identified by my good countryman Mr. Wilde, "It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information"

Interests

Conversing. Exploring. Hosting. Thinking. Listening. Most of the verbs really.

Music, Movies, and Books

Come visit me and I'll tell you everything I'm too lazy to write out in list form!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once, while in a wine induced state on a Beijing subway, late at night saw a woman wearing a shirt that said "We love eating solid carrot cake". Wow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have no employable skills whatsoever. I know a lot of really quite useless but entertaining bits of information. And stories about Russia. That's about it.
