Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Going to make my plan when the morning breaks...I just don't know how long... it will take..
ABOUT ME
Walking past record stores is a perilous activity for me..I am sure to spend vast amounts of time and probably money inside them..As far as afflictions go..I am quite happy to have this one..I have a real love of music..
I am quite happy to sleep in tents..actually sleeping outside..or just being outside..camping, riding, bushwalking..they are all things I enjoy.
I am often a little bit late and also forget things people ask me to bring..or leave my things I took somewhere behind..Things generally still meander along so I feel this makes me a relaxing person to be around..and able to adapt around things I have forgotten..It will probably make you feel better about your memory too..
I am currently traveling around Europe..partly because I love to explore..and I feel I am definitely meeting people along the way who are going to impart the knowledge and experiences that will shape the way I hope to live..
We have only got one planet in which to live..It's not really traveling that well..I know things can change though..A person much wiser than me said..A positive mindset is the only functional one..
PHILOSOPHY
Never leave home without your towel...you can leave your watch behind though..especially digital ones.

Music, Movies, and Books
Well..there is a lot of ins and outs here..but The Big Lebowski is probably my favourite movie..but its hard to go wrong with any Cohen brothers movie..They can pretty much do anything...
Some other ones...The life of Brian, Easy Rider, The Constant Gardener, Motorcycle Diaries..this could take some time..So we can talk about the rest..
Books..
Bill Bryson is a funny man..If you haven't read any of his books..Australia is a good one to start with..The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy..actually you can't go wrong with any of Douglas Adam's books if you like him..
Red Dwarf
204 Bell Street, by an Australian bloke called the Sandman, it's subtly brilliant..
Vernon God Little..If you can't appreciate this book in some way you probably haven't read it
The Motorcycle Diaries..If you have ever travelled or want to travel, you will find this mesmerising.
..and plenty more..
Music..well this could take a while..I'll just put some down in the hope we can talk about this over a few quiet beers..
Sigur Ros, Kings of Convenience, Nick Cave, Iron and Wine, Bob Dylan, Darren Hanlon, Bon Iver, Justin Vernon, Calexico, Cat Power, Leonard Cohen, The Eels, The Band, Magnolia Electric Co...and
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spending a week pedalling around the French Alps..on some of the best climbs I have ever encountered..with two of my best mates...Life rarely gets better..
Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy learning from people who are just comfortable and quietly relaxed about sharing what they are really interested in..
If it comes naturally or really interests you I would love to hear about what you have to tell me..There is no wasted education if you really listen to what people are telling you..You can learn something from everybody..I am not saying it's advisable to agree or participate in everything you are told..but you can take something out of every experience...
