About Me

" Taking your focus away and for a moment you freefall, oh it feels exhilerating, the wind rushing through your hair and adrenaline pumping through your heart. Until you realise that falling means there's something at the bottom and the exhileration turns to fear. What now oh curious wanderer?"
So who am I? If you've never met me then it's very difficult to understand, you see most of my conversations occur on some kind of imaginary planet and are punctuated by far too many metaphors and similes and any obscure literary device you can throw in there.
Well I think it's funny and if it makes me laugh all is well
What do I do, well I'm a Youth Worker at Cov Cathedral that and a dogsbody. I'm a keen juggler/poi + staff spinner/pyro/anything else circus related. And every now and then I'll pop my head out of the hole (often called a westhole or just wole) that I like to call home and have a few at the campbell.
I'm a friendly sort of guy and I'll talk to pretty much anyone (helps with the job), they'll just have to get past the veritable marmite swamp of sarcasm.
If I sound interesting or indeed wierd and you'd like to chat, drop me a line, especially if you'd like to learn some form of circus art, I love to teach :)Ash x

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Freefall

So who will you run away with today?Where will you run to, to escape the bland monotony of an everchanging plane of debauchery.In whom will you confide in? In whom will you place your trust?Is that n...
