About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See and experience much

ABOUT Me
Not a 'Studio Gangsta'

PHILOSOPHY

"See much, study much, suffer much is the path to wisdom"

(Quote courtesy of a great person I met on my travels)
"Let's face it, when its over, the best one can hope for is a book.... So that one ought to work on making it a cracker. Nobody likes one long chapter. Nobody likes one location one scene, one repetitive environment. Ingredients needed to compose your best seller include; excitement, adventure, an abundance of diverse and ever changing characters, long-lasting fammilar friendships, twists and surprises, a few tragedies, challenges a plenty, hilarity daily, often the ridiculous, definitely inclusion the completely unexplained, euphoria of the highest order, a very strange faimly, a safety net of your truly loved one, emotional turmoil of break down proportions, quirk-fest oddities, risky business, fear, music on the inside, spotanaeity. impulsive behaviour to keep the reader on their toes, optimism-even when deemed blind by others, brain-ache inducing philosophical delvings. a blurry transition between dreams and reality, metaphors, symbolism and similes, and a completely open and entertained hear. Be a free and happy bird. Do what you damn well want to do."
