All intellectual improvement arises from leisure

About Me

Passionate and slightly mad

My Interests

Adrenalin rushes, interesting women, psychology, sunrises and sunsets, being in and around water (former life as a dolphin), snowboarding badly, partying and being the last to bed, extremes and contrasts, enjoying simple things, sashimi, girls wearing hosiery, spontaneity, strangers, travelling anywhere, creativity, good vodka and shiraz, motorbikes, and of course music....though i do need occasional silence.
