About Me

I thought a change was necessary for my user info. So here goes. I am still a forty something with two kids. Adam is now at university in Teeside studying media, I see him but alas not my daughter, Amelia. I therefore now live alone in my apartment in Leeds.I left the rat race on a matter of pricipal. I am going to try and earn a living outside education for a while. Writing is one thing I shall be doing a lot of and I am also tinkering with the idea of becoming a life model to enable me to pay the bills. My best attribute I think is my empathy for others, and the fact that I am honest too. So therefore I am also trying to get a life coach business goingI love life. Although nearer fifty than twenty-five I have the spirit and energy of a young man. Listen I am a nice guy, and sometimes nice guys do come first in the rat race we call life. I am here to help, to listen and to learn. I used to be a Learning Mentor and Counsellor, and that is the ethos I carried through my job. If something needs saying you can rely on me to say it. This is not always accepted, and I have lost friends and love because of it. But its the way I am.Nobody is worthy of hate. I dislike lots of things from feet to racism to ageism and indeed most things that have an ism attached to it. However, I also believe that people have a right to their view whether they are right or wrong, but will always fight to have my point of view listened to. I am the most non-judgmental person you could wish to meet. I take people for who they are rather than what they are. And Id like people to do the same with me. Some people say I am crazy in a nice way. I guess I am. I adore making friends and chatting and I always endeavour to make time for my friends either online or in person.
