About Me

CURRENT MISSION

drink tea

ABOUT ME

I build Cajon drums for a living and love to play music. I play the guitar and the drums, paint stuff, take photos of stuff and stuff. Not really but a well placed piece of taxidermy would reall be cool in my workshop. Maybe a badger playing a violin like a double bass or a squirrel in a toy plane. Love to travel around when the operchancity does present itself. Also like painting but nowadays i just seem to spend all my time on the computer.

PHILOSOPHY

my personal philosophy would be really philosophicaly personal if when ever i thought of something it entered the cosmos and philosified about how it was thought of and wondered who the thinker was then philosiphied that it must be someone rambling gibberish into a couchsurfing profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by trying to stick stuff to walls with magic tape, there's not really anything magic about magic tape and the things generally come unstuck and land on other things that are stuck to the things they are stuck to (gravity is quite sticky). Thats not really participating but i dont know what participating means, i would check the dictionary but i stuck that to the curtain rail, ill wait for it to fall n then rethink the whole matter.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with lots of people in europe when i was travelling, all of them awesome. And now I have my own place in glasgow, time to invite some of you guys over and give you a taste of glasgow hospitality.

some of the surfers found the accent a bit too hard to grasp. It's in the vowels.
I do try to soften for the unaccustomed so dont think twice about asking what the fuck i just said.

busking when the leeve breaks in amsterdam - Getatchew Mekuria's sax sounds with the ex - playing two notes at nearly the same pitch and letting them worrble - the blues tunes where the band can be faintly heard shouting "yeah!" in the back > the intro to floaty by the foos < skip james's's voice ) the yak yaking of the digge > reggae bass lines } jack white's slide solos * rage against the machine's rage r@a Ta@t T@@T ' Faries wear boots and you gotta believe mea / the sincerity when dan aurbach sings "baby when i roll, i roll deep, so much so, I couldn't get no sleep" breaking a string tuning down? the sinister pedal organ in glasgow cathedral's basement
