About Me

CURRENT MISSION

mission? what's that?

ABOUT ME

Oscar Wilde wrote, 'Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.' A pretty depressing introduction to myself eh!!? Just come and hang out with me and you'll figure me out soon enough; otherwise, writing about myself in this section will make me sound too much like you!! Although I can say that I'm waaaay more laid-back than this section makes me sound! I sound like a maniac! Gaaah!

PHILOSOPHY

The sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room. - PascalMy dear friend, clear your mind of can't.-Samuel Johnson

Music, Movies, and Books

This is too difficult... I study literature! Pretty much any classic that you throw at me. I think novels that have survived the test of time earn respect and are generally excellent. Writing that adopts the dance of poetry and leaves your mind feeling heavier than a block of concrete once you're finished. Love poetry too.
I love films too but can't be that specific... recent years have given me wonderful films such as Of Gods and Men, A Prophet, Reprise etc etc etc! Though I still love the terminator!
Music... who doesn't love music? Too much to list here! Just ask!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 40 days in the belly of a whale. 40 days!! You may have read about it somewhere.
