About Me

A mirage in a flux... .. .... .... ..

My Interests

Making mistakes interests me. Like spelling mistacks, or forgetting your umbrella in the rain, saying you don't love someone when you do but don't know you do (or vice versa), getting on the wrong train and not realising until you get to the wrong destination, forgetting to put on your trousers before you leave the house. Those sort of mistakes. I studied art and now i'm not so sure about it. Maybe that was a brilliant mistake as well. Also: Beans on toast. Booze. Crayons. Scribbling. Garlic. Hass Avocados. Drifting through city streets. Equality. Bear Hugs. Riding my push-bike along the canal path. Cats and dogs. The Vyner Street Scene. Snow. Philosophy (some). Guitar. Retro. Taking a leak in the rain. Real love. 'The fear of being eaten by a sandwich'.. ..Bas Jan Ader
