Where to start on this one!?
Main interests would be photography photography and more photography - all day long! (myspace.com/I_Spill_Green.
Music (of the decent persuasion - preferably LOUD); People - particularly what makes them tick; Belly Dance; World Cinema; Film; Art; Literature; Veganism; The World; Travel; Self Discovery; Asking Questions; Eating; Drinking; Breathing; Being clumsy.
I'd like to meet:
Eddie Vedder; Mike Patton; Chris Cornell and Belladonna (all for obvious and shallow reasons) for starters, failing that saints, sinners and lottery winners - all are welcome! People who are creative, interesting, preferably who give a shit with a sense of humour! Is that asking too much?!
Below is a video that I was SHOCKED DISTURBED and SICKENED to watch. I can honestly say that it made me so so so so sad to see how animals are treated. I do think EVERYONE should see this video, to become more aware of what really goes on; where exactly the meat they eat comes from and the conditions and treatment the animals are subjected to. I stopped eating meat a while ago, and this has re-enforced my reasoning behind it. If you ever want to eat meat again or are easily shocked/upset/offended then I really wouldn't advise pressing play. However, ignorance is not bliss.
