About Me

What can I say about me? This actually has got a lot harder and a lot more complicated as I have got older. I am no longer a lot of the things I thought I was and am more of the things that I never thought I would be, none of which is as satisfying or as worrying as I might have thought! I try and teach naughty boys how to read and write without a great deal of success, it has to be said! Also have to teach them a whole load of other stuff too - most importantly that they are actually worth something and aren't useless as they have been lead to believe by various people. Visit my web-site www.karmaclowns.co.uk and read The Karma Clowns, an ever-increasing tale of violent, deranged clowns who kill people to placate a vengeful Greek God and avoid returning to the torments of hell. It's a story about love, death, guilt, justice, religion, heaven and hell, anarchy, loneliness and a whole host of other things too. It started off as a simple idea but is now growing out of control. I would like to stop doing it but it won't let me. In fact, I didn't want to start it in the first place but now that I have, too much needs to be resolved to stop now.

My Interests

Cartoons. Music. The workings of the human mind, particularly those belonging to "disaffected" young people/ children. Philosphy / existence / religion in a very broad sense, particularly karma.

I'd like to meet:

I used to be quite a sociable chap and would have been happy to meet anyone. Now, as I get older, new people worry me more. I think I am moving further along the autistic spectrum or just becoming grumpy and narrower minded. Changes to my routine, which I used to seek out, now worry me too. Particularly interested in people who like slightly anarchic/ "philosophical"/ violent / existential and odd comics. Nick Cave fans are always a pleasure to talk to!

Music:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The Birthday Party. Shane Macgowan / The Pogues. Tom Waits. Bob Dylan.His new album is great. Leonard Cohen. Green Day. The Levellers. PJ Harvey Neil Young Nirvana John Otway Numerous punk / ska / goth / indie / punk-folk bands. I will get round to making a more complete list one day! MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator
