About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do something new every day.

PHILOSOPHY

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

Interests

Sometimes I feel I have too much interest, at others I feel its all too overwhelming and opt for being interested in very little. But generally and always: film, travel, friends, dancing (however terrible I am at it) and sport.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES:
You can't go past the magic and grandeur of such trilogies as Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones. Or for that matter the cheesy-yet extremely likeable Hollywood romps that are Pirates of the Carribbean and Harry Potter. The emerging genre that is near-future sci-fi intrigues me with the likes of Children of Men and V for Vendetta. As does classic sci-fi, such as 2001: A Space Odyssey. Donnie Darko and Pan's Labyrinth are weird and yet haunting. While musicals and classic Disney lighten up the mood a bit with The Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge, The Lion King and Hercules. And because it doesnt seem to fit into any category, Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet. And last but not least you can't go past the comic genius that is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

BOOKS:
+ The Tomorrow series - John Marsden
+ 1984 - George Orwell
+ Harry Potter - JK Rowling
+ Dracular - Bram Stoker
+ Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adam
+ The Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux

MUSIC:
I dont like bands or genres in particular. I like individual songs. Can't be bothered with bands.
