CURRENT MISSION

To truly enjoy my life

ABOUT ME

I have returned home to my tiny Northern Irish hometown after a long time in California - really enjoying the coastline here.
I like people and am very social - I can be a bit of a talker. I try to stay optimistic about life and hope for great things in the future. I do like to go out but live a pretty quiet life at home. I am interested in other perspectives and like to learn stuff, even when it is really silly stuff. Life should be fun.

PHILOSOPHY

I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

兴趣

Having wild meandering conversations with people and exercising my devilish sense of humor, people watching from coffee shops, (but not in a stalker way!), swimming, walking, cycling, going downtown, shopping, dressing up, reading and writing beautiful things, soccer, the Angels Baseball team, oh and the Sunday Times.

音乐、电影和书籍

I have been in love with films since I was little- so lots of old classics (Bringing Up Baby, All About Eve)as well as foreign stuff and great epics (Braveheart). Books - too numerous to mention but - Thomas Hardy, Nick Hornby, Saul Bellow, Jane Austin,....Best American book ever - A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Try it. Music - Beethoven, the Ramones, Billy Joel, Florence and the Machine, Ella Fitzgerald, Gotan Project - most genres but I have a hard time with rap
