Sidewalk sessions, Hip Hop, Street Art, post theism, books, film, dancing, funk, yoga, toys, languages, vinyl, my bike, stan smiths, jazz, photography, kissing, DJing, writing music, playing guitar, table football, cooking for my friends, the hat game, jokes, science, the universe, quantum physics (this section is about interests, not specialisms), overpriced japanese plastic toys, taking pictures of Plastic Jesus, swimming in the sea with a hangover (preferably off the rocks into the Mediterranean but any sea will do at a push), making paella, missing my baby nephew even though we've never spoken... width="425" height="350" ..

groovers, shakers, gigglers, movers, B-Boys and girls, writers, DJs, MCs, funksters, drinkers, diners, backgammon players, walkers, talkers, film buffs, laughers, jokers, poets, writers, filmmakers, enchanters, beguilers...Enough rice and beans, it's time for rice and peas. I'm coming back to the Bush, and not a moment too soon. Miami Beach is tops and everything. and I'll miss my new friends, but all this time away has made me realise just how crazy I am about London. No matter how groovy a place is on first inspection, it just doesn't compare in the long run. About me, I direct TV programmes and DJ funk and Hip Hop (and Brazilian and salsa and acid jazz and reggae and raggga etc. etc. etc.). I am a fundamentalist post-theist. I speak six languages. I hardly ever grumble. I am shyer than everyone thinks I am. I am a Mac geek. I cook the most delicious paella I've ever tasted. I know loads of jokes about the pope. I like taking pictures of plastic Jesus.
