About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To sacrifice everybody for an epigram

ABOUT ME

I will never regret anything I do. I have accepted what will happen to me and no longer fear anything except stagnation. I am spontaneous and decisive, which not everyone likes. Many people will not understand me very well. But I wouldn't want to owned by everyone anyway.

I am creative, except, to me, what I invent is obvious, it could be no other way. Because of this, I went through many years where I thought I had no creativity. Only when I learnt to share did I learn what I have.

I live in Newcastle, I go out for drinks and coffee a lot, often with people I have met through couchsurfing. I am very approachable, but I have no interest in being liked any more. I don't think it matters.

I come and go, I work abroad regularly and can't live without constant change. That's why I need to have surfers. Hopefully you can understand me, but don't try to. I think its something that you know already.

PHILOSOPHY

I think I'd rather talk about it than sell it. Its probably uncomfortable for many, I hope I never get to the bottom of it.
