Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life - Picasso

About Me

I study a Bachelor Of Arts at RMIT specializing in the Music Industry and work part time at a Cafe in Malvern... I spend a great deal of time researching and gathering information about modern culture and society... it is an area of great personal interest and curiosity... Where time permits i catch up with friends... I enjoy the rich cultural diversity of Melbourne, it's art institutions, it's nightlife and the fascinating people that inhabit it... Whilst studying and working i also work creatively and in a managerial sense with a couple of like-minding artists who you will surely meet in the near future... I am intending on launching my very own blog soon which will cover my interests in politics, the environment, technology, current affairs, popular culture and society and a myriad of other issues of importance to me and our generation...

My Interests

Friends, Music, Art, Culture, Business, Cooking, Reading, Learning (shock horror!).... Many more....

I'd like to meet:

Just about anyone.... Our own individuality is what makes us interesting and compelling....
