About Me

A thoughtful, creative kinda person... I like to be able to express myself in a cute and kooky kinda way, but unfortunately I can't always do that. I enjoy pondering the meaning of life and the many objects and experiences that pass through it. Like a cat, i'm curious about the mysteries and possibilities of what lies beneath the concrete surface. I like to feel comfortable to move quickly to that beyond the mundane, so as to enjoy the twisted, child-like excitement of the bizarre tangents. I like looking at things, admiring there aesthetics and kinesthetic and emotional dynamics. I now often find beauty and peace in my daydreams. I feel that i never gave myself much of a chance to daydream before.I often wish that the world could be a different place and that we could all be free to express ourselves in a gentle and caring way. Unfortunately the neo-liberal drive towards advanced capitalism and marketed individualism don’t allow us to experience true communality often. The moments when we all feel like we are all together are the moments that I enjoy the most, they’re the moments that I long for.

My Interests

Performance art, philosophy, making videos, graphic design, digital imaging, soundsystems, djing breakcore old skool dancehall & jungle, collecting spazzcore n thrashcore, old skool punk n quirky japanese stuff, going to the occassional gig, watching foreign alternative & arthouse films, checking out street art & galleries, studying & work that involves advancing social or environmental justice...

I'd like to meet:

people that think deeply and care about humanity and put it into action in their interactions, performers, creative artistic peoples, humanitarian philosophers, the many people around the world that i already know, travellers, soundsystem heads, artists, talkative people...

Music:

Political grungy hiphop, reggae dancehall, reggaeton, funk, gypsy music, dark drum'n'bass, ragga-jungle, kooky glitched out shit, ghettotech, old school jazz & swing classics, mambo, genre blends, (breakcore: i:gor, patric catani, bomb20, stuntrock, peaceoff records, sickboy, noize punishment...) electronic hardcore (deathchant, tieum, radium, speedfreak, coretex, system corrupt etc.) speedcore,hardcore punk, spazzcore, d-beat, thrash, crust...

Movies:

Arthouse movies, foreign movies, gypsy movies... Girl on the bridge, exils, the edukators, faster pussycat kill kill, jubilee, the science of sleep, delicatessan, city of the lost children, eat the rich, kung fu hustle, narco, so many more... movies that don't conform to hollywood formula, awesome cinematography (landscapes, detail and charcters), bizarre plots, sub-cultures, characters with real depth. I hate films about small town america and films that characterise sub cultures from a negative mainstream view, I particularly don't like films that use violence as a cheap and easy ploy to create drama and films full scenes of rich scudge and their pathetic lives, in other words most hollywood films.
