ABOUT ME

I was born in Montreal, grew up in the south of England and I moved to Montpellier last year to do a marketing internship and now work at the company full-time. I'd like to think I'm a friendly guy bordering on agreeable. I like music (music is what feelings sound like) listening to it, playing it on my Gibson SG and talking about it [and also based on me naming the guitar I have... boasting about it]. I also love sports, in particular Football(Soccer), Ice Hockey and American Football but I'd watch just about any sport! I enjoy playing sports and try to be as active as I can although I should really do more to counter all the fast food I eat. Montreal Canadiens and Liverpool fan. I enjoy but am eternally guilty that I have 4 names Jonathan Edward Lee Gardiner, there's all those people with just 1 or 2 names and there I am with 4. It does give me the fantastic intials JELG and means my two middle names could be an adverb "he walked edwardly towards the door". In summary I like to have fun and live life, viva la vida!

PHILOSOPHY

I always play for the draw, the higher the highs the lower the lows whilst living life to the fullest.

Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind (Dr Seuss).

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. (Theodore Roosevelt)
