Roli Rivelino

It's not about the money for us is it? It's the charge, the buzz, the sheer fuck offness of it all!

About Me

Writer, Photographer, director, (piss)artist, wannabe editor, wannabe everything. Mad, bad, sad, ecstatic, lively, lovely, clumsy, scientific, artistic, verbose.I DO NOT DO FACEBOOK! I Just don't need another thing in my life capable of wasting many hours of my precious time :-)I also will not add random bands, if you are a band and I know you, then message me otherwise I will delete the request without listening to the music (I know I Know, but what can you do?)I'm a very visual person as you'll see from my page. If I was stuck on a desert island, I wouldn't have an ipod (not that I want one anyway) but rather a few hundred books (mainly sci-fi or science based) a portable dvd/divex player and several hundred hours worth of film. There are many films that I love that I haven't put in the film section, because I have a very weird, selective memory and so can't remember some of my most loved films unless I'm sitting nowhere near my computer. As my friends will tell you, I can't stop quoting films and that weird memory of mine, will allow me to remember an obscure line in a film, but not the actual film itself, sometimes not even the name. So if you see some strange quote, just remember I'm not (too) mad it's just a movie.Please feel free to have a look at my blogs and tell me what you think, whether you agree with what I say or not, I'd like to hear from you, you don't have to be a friend to comment on them. People tell me they're quite funny, but most of the time I'm not trying to be funny. I'm just ranting at the world in a pissed off manner and that seems to amuse people.I used to be/still am a profesional photographer and as you can see I've added quite a few of my photographs to the site. If you're interested they're ALL for sale, special edition, limited edition and so on. The videos are NOT mine, but they will be soon. Hopefully someone will see that it is indeed wise to contact me and offer me a lifelong tenurship doing what I love. Making pretty pictures, whether moving or otherwise or writing stories for books or film and or making love to lovely ladies. I've put agnostic for religion (the atheists cop out) but actually I'm a 7th level Jedi Knight, so there.
