Bored lawyers become politicians. Bored engineers become writers. I am a bored engineer. Or rather was. I work in an ad agency now, aspire to make a movie sometime (bored advertising professionals become moviemakers, anyone?). I love all kinds of music, I read but am slow, and I tend to watch a lot of movies. Oh and before I forget, I am a football lover and an ardent supporter of Liverpool FC.

Note: These descriptions are rather old and I am a bit lazy to update it in detail. But it is mostly the same. I have just sobered up a bit I guess.
