About Me

Welcome to my cyber battle with reality. I am a 48 year old father,lover,friend and optimist.I'm an occasional musician who has just rediscovered the art that I'd lost all faith in for the best part of 25 years.Through the eyes of a 48 year old I now realise that that loss was a great shame as frankly, it was something I was pretty fucking good at.Now is the time to make up for those lost years of creativity. There was a time when I was hugely politically motivated with a strong leftist leaning and although my natural instinct still takes me in that direction, I've really lost 80% of my interest due to the lack of conviction or bravery of modern day politicians. I see organised religion and global warming as the biggest threats to the planet at the moment, though I doubt either issue will be sorted out in my time in this funny old world. I'm a member of the National Secular Society and would encourage you to check out the great work they do for hopefully a better and safer future. I'm a lover of fine wine and a follower of the (mis)fortunes of Leyton Orient FC. I currently live in East London suburbia but am in the process of moving out to the countryside, a little village just outside the beautiful North Essex town of Saffron Walden. I need the Quiet Life (as David Sylvian would say). Feel free to say hello and exchange stories of love, life, the moon and stars. MyGen Profile Generator
