About Me

The first step -- especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money -- the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art. -- Chuck PalahniukIn my spare time, which is probably more of an insight, i draw pictures for bands, watch as many films as i can, think about travelling to other countries then realise i can't afford it... and read anything i can get my hands on...i also enjoy green tea. clever people. passionate people. arguments between clever and passionate people. the bass guitar. the normal guitar. trying to write music, and failing. my beard. talking to random people. solving random problems. offering advice (mostly on things i'm not qualified to advise on) hating my phone. vice magazine. vegetarianism. punk music. folk music. polyvinyl records. femeninity (tuesdays). vegetable chilli. japanese tattoos. trying to learn japanese (slow). clothes shopping, for me or you. standout value. creative people. mathematics. photography (expensive). noise. quiet. rain. sunshine. cold. warm. origami. calligraphy. cooking. drinking red wine. my flat. my (ex) balcony. my bed. my shower. sleeping.
