About Me

Germano-Celt. Tha mi air a bhith ag ionnsachadh Gaidhlig airson mu coig bliathna. Tha mi ag obair ri Slighe nan Gaidheal an Comunn Gaidhlig ann an Shiatail. Thoiseach mi The Washington Camanachd Club ann an 2006 ri dha caraidean agus cleachdadh sinn gach seachdainn a h-uile bliathna. 'S toil leam am bouzouki agus am piano a' cluich. Aig an t-am seo, tha mi airson iomain a'cluich agus a' teagasg Ameireaganaich mun e agus a'cleachdadh Gaidhlig. Cuir suil air ar làrach lìnn, shintywa.com agus thig a-mach 's buail am boll comhla rinn. I value what is not seen in the world. Nothing is more beautiful that what is unknown. Death is the most unkown thing in the world and also the most beautiful. I value my blood and my heritage. The things I enjoy most in this world are very large trees, the wind, the sea, very large rocks, silence, stillness, autumn, the winter, the cold, rain, big gray clouds, neurons, thought, fire, dark beer, red wine, Islay scotch, black coffee, chocolate, creativity, freedom.
