At the moment im living in Auckland. Before moving here i lived in Hamilton for a year, but before that I grew up in Gisborne. I’m doing a hospitality course where I'm training how to be a barista, bartender and all that. There's not much I care about more than music, the composition, technicality and feeling it evokes also the cultures it carries. I’d say I’m pretty modest and considerate of others, despite my maybe morbid taste and sense of humour. Of course there are people I cannot tolerate, mainly brainless clichés who try and claim glory from things they can't even comprehend and arrogant/ignorant cunts who either harass me, preach or just cause shit in general. People I appreciate most are my family, my friends and those who are aware of what's real, the things around them and the detail in those things.
"Fantasies have to be unrealistic - because the moment, the second that you get what you seek, you don't, you can't want it anymore. In order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent. It's not the 'it' that you want, it's the fantasy of 'it'. We are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness. This is why we say: the hunt is sweeter than the kill, or: be careful what you wish for - not because you'll get it: because you're doomed not to want it once you do. Living by your wants will never make you happy. What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals. and not to measure your life by what you've attained in terms of your desires, but. those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality...because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives. is by valuing the lives of others." - Kevin Spacey, American Beauty
