About Me

"My dreams are but a floating mirage of my own reality" - Chef 2005---Was a student but dropped out so in rehab from living the life of a bum. Im planning to go back this September and do a social care degree so that i can be a social worker. Im good at social work and got an enthusiasm for it so hopefully this time uni will work out! I used to work as a qualified carer caring for the elderly and disabled, which i loved doing and was a natural with them. Seems strange considering most my mates would describe me as an amusing bastard type clown like Krusty or something. Currently im a support worker at a high level 24/7 assisted living hostel for ten teenagers aged 16-18yrs. Other than slaving myself for the wage i enjoy bein one "the mobb" of lads i've mainly known since middle school, think life gives us very few true friendships like that. Constant banter, pranks, real loyalty and mad nights out including copious amounts of alcohol, chaos and amnesia! I love music beyond words and chilling out to different styles depending on my mood. I also love Thailand its the one place that when im training doing my muay thai i feel actually content. I like to write my feelings, to take pictures, to think deep on things i could never possibly fully comprehend and to have these sorts of pointless but conversations that mean everything with people i like. I pay little attention to those that hate and don't spend my life worrying about what people think of me or whether they may like me. I simply hope that all those i care about have a high opinion of me but to the world i make no apologies or excuses for being myself.
