ABOUT ME

I left Australia to work this one out. I'm on an expedition of experiences. was in dublin, now in glasgow, my creativity squandered, I like to live. I once worked on a children's book about a starfishman. Since I finished uni I've worked in many places. I once loved cinema. At one stage I thought I'd never sort a couch out, but then here we are.

PHILOSOPHY

"Happy people are not interesting. Better to be accept the burden of unhappiness and try to turn it into something worthwhile…" (Coetzee, "Youth").
