why you little !!!, for two pins I'd

About Me

My name is Alex I live in Liverpool or as Carl Jung called it the "pool of life". (I learned that from Flanagans in Mathew Steet) and have joined Myspace to speak to new people and converse over lifes quibbles and qualms,and whether there was anyone who enjoyed the feel of nylon sheets?.....................I have lots of interests from music to travelling, socialising (good definintion of going out drinking, me thinks, purely for experimental purposes, all in the name of reasearch I also am learning to play the uke,(fingers in ears please.......................I am a pracitising buddhist and have been for 7 years, which means I chant to my hearts content, usually twice a day. I follow Japanese buddhism, based on the Lotus Sutra, one of the last sutras told by buddha, which declares anyone has buddha potential and can reach enlightement in this life!!...........................I have a wide variety of musical tastes, some a bit embarrassing and I wont be telling you here..............I work as a trainer in the drug, sexual health and alcohol field in Merseyside, but I do travel all over the country. My favourite words are boots, bundles, packages, and sashes. Most likley to hear me say "why you little", and "for two pins I'd"My pet hate include Ferrets (bad experience!!!!),strawberry tarts with custard underneath them !!! Why have sky sports got darts as a pay per view !!! whats all that about I know Sid is popular, but theres no need to give him iconic status....!!. and another thing, how many fishing adventures has Rex Hunt had??......... Is fishing an adventure, only in Jaws!...............Gherkins, people chewing wool or cotton wool! Seeing girls wearing pyjamas in the street !! very poor.. Ruth Kelly (Labour party), 4 x 4s (why if you dont live in the country and dont do off road driving). I have taken to saying the word twat everytime I see one of those monstrous things, but it now sounds like I have tourettes because there is so many of them on the road! Golfing umbrellas in a city centre on narrow pavements, you know who are, cretin!

My Interests

Reading, Buddhism (been practising for 7 years, notice the word practice, I try my best) Art, Drawing, Animals (especially monkeys and cats. Walking, Wildlife (see above), the sun (not that rag of a paper the real one in the sky) Laughter, Learning to play the uke! Clouds (not the rehab but the ones in the sky), travelling especially to sunny places, watching films, being with the people I love, meeting new people,

I'd like to meet:

Everyone. But if you request my friendship and try to sell me anything such as signing up to a dating agency, selling me get rich quick schemes, 4x4s or even a ferret I will not accept your request.The other thing which annoys me on myspace people who leave up to 15 bulletins a day or send those silly chain mails. I certainly do belive i will die at some point but not as a result of not posting a bulletin. so please do not send them. Everyone else is alright
