About Me

I think I'll be the best judge of that...but one day would like to make a beautiful thing from a block of stone. I like London, Paris, Milan, Edinburgh and occasionally, but increasingly less so, Dublin. I like being the fly in the ointment and the flowers in the dustbin. I like coffee. I like cycling and grinning idiotically at car drivers stuck in traffic. I like punk rock. I like ballet. I like the Alhambra. I like kabuki. I like my Myspace photo of Michael Caine and will change it only of my own volition. I like AC Milan, Leeds, Leyton Orient and St. Patrick's Athletic. I like Arsene Wenger and Cesc Fabregas. I like the beautiful game. I like cricket. I like weed. I like comics. I like people that dress for themselves. I like Vivienne Westwood's shirts and John Smedley's sweaters. I like the blur of the peleton. I like steel and glass and stone. I like Japan. I like motorways and the ridiculous people that use them. I like the idea of your God being vengeful, because one day you are gonna get the God you deserve. I like primary colours. I like chocolate. I like staying awake. I like November. I like empty airports. I like sensory overload. I like the BBC. I like Frieze. I like dancing and horse-racing. I like Macintosh. I like the Tate Gallery and the Pompidou Centre. I like 20th Century art. I like the way Damon Albarn can do everything and look great - that's what you get for winning the battle but losing the war, Noel. I like Patrick Cox's shoes and Y3's trainers. I like being shallow enough to admit it. I like some of you...
