About Me

http://dimsbox.blogspot.com

My Interests

my interests include, but are not limited to; punching babies, being raunchy, sauce on the side, playing with words and their meaning, masking insecurities in sarcastic and often cynical humour, british spelling, misunderstanding women, making fun of tools, aural sex, chasing the unattainable, stepping to the beat, debating 'pirates v. ninjas', booze; specifically single malt scotch.

I'd like to meet:

Frank Herbert, Warren Ellis, Jiddhu Krishnamurti, David Lynch, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Michael Haneke, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Arthur Miller, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, amongst others...
