It's Methanol Time....

About Me

1 Part Methanol, 4 Parts Rubber, Stir to Liking

22 Year Old PetrolHead. Still in University and still figuring out what I want to do with my life. My obsession is with Champ Car and Atlantics, but I try to keep pace with some of the other racing series as well (F3, F1, GP2, A1GP etc etc). Extraordinary travels are a hopeful dream. Mindless driving is my favourite past-time. Sneakers are my guilty pleasure, and old LEGO is my childhood retreat.

I'm currently working on a double major on Biology and History and hopefully moving on up to Forensic Science once I graduate. I've gotten quite passionate about it and it's pretty important to love what you do as opposed to it always being about the money and being self-loathing.

I absolutely love music, and I listen to a lot of stuff on a regular basis. It's becoming my patroitic duty to expand my musical horizons as wide as possible. The only thing I love more about music is probably music live. I'm looking for people who share the same appreciation for it as I do. As I get to hear more and more stuff my music list just keeps getting progressively longer and longer, and I am always amused to discover the vast amount of unheard talent out in the world. Plenty of gigs have been lined up for the year so we'll see how it goes.

I look for respect in other people. If you don't respect me offhand, don't expect me to return the favour, and ESPECIALLY not if you're George W. Shrub or the world's 9th nuclear powerhouse.

My mantra is that my life is my business. As fucked up as it may be sometimes, I happen to like my life and I shouldn't have to justify that to anyone.

I believe that we get one chance, one life, and what we do with it is our choice.
