Im just a simple fellah really, living in not such a simple world! I don’t choose to be ME, it’s just the way it is. So here I go, given an opportunity to express my entity upon the world of Myspace, a chance to explain what Im all about and who I am yah-di-bloody-yah! Thats if anyone is reading though, dammit, I hardly have time to read what’s on other pages so what gives me the perception that anyone would bother reading this anyway???
Oh yeah...’ME’...Mr. Happy-go-lucky, trying my best to ride the rollercoaster of life the best I know how, up n down, in n out, round n round...where next? Still stuck in ‘the system’ of it all though, can’t escape that one dognammit! But I like ME, I’ve done this and that, been here and there...what an adventure it’s all been so far. Some good, some bad, but all this mish mash of experience only adds to my persona of today, and Im sure that the ride ain’t over coz each day can be a new experience that moulds ME of who I am as each moment passes! Whoa deep!!!
So it’s all about ME then...
Erm...hold on, don’t YOU think of yourself as a "ME" too, that’s how we all perceive ourselves aye, you look upon ME as a YOU, and YOU look upon yourself as a ME huh. Crazy concept (Im a crazy guy).
Your probably better looking than ME, you may have traveled more and seen more of this Earth than ME, you may be more intelligent than ME (whatever intelligence is), you might have the job that I really want, that beautiful home (and if it’s a yurt...whoa), that perfect partner, the fastest car!
But you know what, Im actually GLAD that I am ME! I like ME! I don’t have a car right now, but I can drive, yet I am still undertaking the driving lesson of life, and there are many gears that keep constantly changing. I don't have a Degree but I bet I know something that you probably do not, and you probably know something I would LOVE to know! Im not rich, in fact, just about getting by, but I AM rich, rich in my heart, with my passion for this Earth, this existence, love, my friends, my cracking world music collection, the people I have encountered and still encountering! It's ALL GOOD!
There’s GOT to be a reason why ME is here though, WE are here...right now in MY time...YOUR time! Sometimes, WE think WE have one journey through life, that is the route, the path...it may be a continuous journey, but often the path WE are on can suddenly STOP...CEASE! You then have to take a new direction, a new choice, often without any choice at all! It can be a straight run, a rocky ride, a steep climb or crazy paved, there will be paths within the path too...sooooo many directions huh! It may be a path you wish you had chosen earlier, but also a path that others have chosen for you...for better or worse! It may even be the same path, yet with a different perspective as the route is taken in the opposite direction? Who knows! I know there are going to be more to come, guaranteed, but Im not going to ponder on it coz I have NO IDEA of which one I will take! Do YOU? In a way, its like being re-born, a NEW life, existence and perception!
I've had quite a few too, starting with the city of Manchester in my youth upbringing, then the Cheshire country, emigrated to Australia at one time, lived in Guernsey for just over 3 years (definitely a niche), and even my holidays can change my perception of MY LIFE...no, not Butlins though, he-he! (New Zealand, Norway, Thailand, Ireland to name but a few). Stayed in the Scilly Isle’s for a few months and now back in Guernsey ...YAY!!!
People often ask 'Where do I come from' and I find that I stumble on the answer because I don't really know, I've connected with many environments, but the initial 'from' was in a hospital in Manchester, from my beautiful Mother, but where will I go next? Will it be another connection? Should I tell them Im from the ‘future’ because that is where I am going isn’t it - so, maybe that should be the question then ‘Where are you going’?
Obviously Im British, but my influences vary, and who knows where my roots may initially lie from my past relatives, but I don’t feel I need to look to much into the roots of my past, though there is some interest, but to the branches to my/our future? Even when I gaze at the stars and swim in the ocean, is THAT where I am from??? Hmmmmm!
I have had some pretty rocky, uphill and crazy paved paths of late, and its still a bit bumpy! Yet it's even helping ME to understand ME a little more, hence why my profile is somewhat 'in-depth' I guess! Heck, actually, I always thought like this in a way, but now Im nurturing it and in this opportune moment I have found myself in, I am learning much more about myself too! Im lucky to have had this chance...VERY LUCKY! But its not without the influence of others, from the past to the present, we all, in a way feed off each other to produce our OWN recipe, and mine has some pretty fascinating ingredients! Now Im mixing it all up! Still, I reckon there are more spices to add within life’s blender!
SO....then....WHATS YOUR FLAVOUR?
This profile of mine is not finished...it cannot be completed overnight, heck, it may never be! What I know is, I can put my perspective in here, my thoughts, you might like them, you might not, but to me it is who I am, and it helps, just don’t judge me, and if you disagree then thats cool, Im NOT Mr. Know-it-all!!!
I am currently at a node in life's great curve, its not a bad node though (in fact, life IS a continuous node)! I have large wings that I desire to spread, yet for now I am nurturing my cocoon, and its kinda cozy, all snug, yet I can see the crack and a light emitting through it :) I do hope to get back into providing my world music for the people again with a dance a smile to celebrate life! And if I can assist in healing the wounds on this planet, then I shall gladly assist with the bandage!
MUSIC IS MY THANG!!! I like to incorporate my djembe and didj when I DJ, well, I don’t like the term DJ...'norrarf', more of a GP - 'Groove Practitioner'!!!
I'm not a big drinker, coz when I THINK and have a DRINK, I start to SINK! But I do like a few when the mood suits me, yet not so much these days!
I don't follow religion as it is all around us within the trees, the air, the water, the life energy and beyond the abyss of space and time! I need to believe in myself before any myth!
I don't judge people as we all have the potential to work together and LOVE each other. If only it was that easy huh!
I have no ambition really, but my only goal is this...my/our time upon this Earth is only a mollecular blip of a heartbeats worth of time compared to that of how long our universes has been around, but during my 'blip' all I wish for is that I can have a positive input within it. Now I dont mean putting the world to rights and trying to understand the whole aspect of life and why itself, all I wish is to pass a smile, know what I am doing is right, see the beauty that surrounds me no matter how big or small. Yes I wish for peace and for all to get along as one upon this Earth, but that aint easy, but as long as Im aware of that ethic, then Im happy to be me :)
Now lets all put our differences aside and start to realize that blood is but one colour, and mine is green?!!
“Nanu nanu!â€

I am very fortunate to be a member of the Vale Earth Fair Collective in the island of Guernsey. Such a beautiful island and the people -OH MY GOSH!!!
We hold a music festival each year in August at the Vale castle, which is the most sublime setting for ANY festival...MAKE AN EFFORT AND GET THERE (if you can), you won't regret it (and why not give us a hand)! I host the 'Earth Tent' where you can relax and divulge your aural pleasures with sounds from around the world, visuals and, of course, a nice cuppa and cookies courtesy of Oxfam!
