About Me

i am a final year student at the university of stellenbosch, majoring in philosophy and art history..i take A LOT of pictures and sometimes i draw or paint them. i like all the stuff that most people do like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.one day when i grow up, i would like to be a fighter pilot or a rockstar. but, if life happens while i'm busy making those plans, i wouldn't be unhappy being an art historian or gallery owner. in fact, i think i might quite enjoy wearing horn rimmed glasses and black cashmere sweaters and talking about the virtues and vices of specific works of art.furthermore i like music a lot. obviously the classics that everyone likes such as the beatles, led zeppelin and a flock of seagulls, but also the contemporary ones that everyone likes, such as the shins, arcade fire and michael learns to rock.Myspace Contact Tables

i would like to meet oprah (she is my hero), george w. (he is not my hero) and/ or kate moss. i once had a dream where we were best friends, we partied like rockstars at some beachhouse, so i figure we just need to get acquainted, considering how well we actually get on.
