Who am I? Good question.
I'm a student at the University of Sheffield majoring in Philosophy. This year I was elected as Education Officer of the Sheffield Student's Union. See below for the photo epicness!



I have many dreams, and am in the on-going process of realising them.
I'm strongly opposed to organised religion. I find the idea of God conceptually beautiful, but the presence of religion dogmatic and suffocating.
I'm interested in transcendental Philosophy of Kant, arguments about the Philosophy of Religion, Epistemology, Phenomenology, Existentialism and problems within Metaphysics.
I'm finding my bearings politically, safe to say I aren't a tory. That's for sure. Everyday I feel the void left in my life by my Granddad. You weren't a reason: you were every single one of them.
Savour moments.
In one second, the world
is cracked open.
You look at things differently,
you smell things differently,
You savor everything, either a glass of
water or a walk in the park.
Most people have the luxury
not knowing when that clock will go off.
And the irony of that is that it keeps them
from really living their lives.
It keep them drinking that glass
of water but not really tasting it."

My Interests

Hanging around with mates, having a good and genuine laugh with them. Going out with mates, having a good drink and boogie with them. Comforting mates, hearing their point of view and confiding in them. Caring for mates, because they are your world and you don't realise sometimes.
