'You are simply a challenge for the divine element'

I am friendly, compassionate, open-minded, generous and thoughtful. My respect for all men & women is mutual. I am proud to be British despite it's imperialistic past & incompetent government. Like any true Englishman I embrace all cultures & the wealth they have to offer. I can be a little shy at first but quickly become very outgoing, confident & honest. I am often described as the heart & soul of the party when I choose to reveal my unique sense of humour. My family is strong and I keep my friends close and let them know how I feel.

I have a deep love for independent, conscious, underground hip hop from artists that most people have never heard of. This love is due to my appreciation of the English language & poetry relating to the human condition, delivered over raw analogue beats. I dislike commercialism in all forms but particularly despise the diluted nonsense that greed turns music into. However i listen to all other forms of music & have a collection of albums 10,000+ strong.

My time is usually spent listening to music or watching independent cinema & reading. I enjoy photography or creating vector art work. I aspire to refine my life in a practical form & by building my knowledge & experience. I am always striving to discover life's secrets and am learning to fulfil my Buddhist beliefs.

I have a mainly vegetarian diet. I work out on a regular basis and try to stay healthy by being active and eating good food but love smoking and often toke on my Egyptian shisha Hookah. I am a strong, well built man who is prepared to protect the ones I love.

I have been awarded a Higher National Diploma in Computing with Portsmouth University, a distinction in Advanced GNVQ Business which includes computer literacy, and 9 GCSEs. My field is desktop support but I would like to expand into other areas such as CISCO networking or as a general network engineer. As for now I am learning new skills as a gardener so I can try my hand at computer aided landscape design.


'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...' - Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner

The plants in this slideshow are from a friend's photo i have no knowledge of where it was taken. Contrary to once popular belief i take pride in the fact i am not a drug dealer and have never dealt drugs. I also haven't smoked in years and i recommend not smoking it excessively. Whether you agree with drugs or not it was a part of my life for a decade.

However the plant itself is possibly the most wonderous on this planet and without Hemp production in the second world war for basic materials, Britain would have lost to the German invasion long before America stepped in to help. If that had happened the Germans would have taken all of Europe and then most likely conquered the world. I suggest anyone reads up on Hemp to realise that it could save us all from poverty & global warming if it was cultivated but because we live in a society primarily concerned with money, government figures restrict it's growth, instead choosing to pollute and destroy our planet using less effective resources.

'When you call them alien remember we were once sailing in the same mothership to laboratories on mars, our bodies consist of dust from the supernova of stars' - Lost Children of Babylon


'The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.' - Albert Einstein

'They are gentle, loving, faithful, lacking in all guile and trickery. The words denoting lying, deceit, greed, envy, slander, and forgiveness have never been heard. They have no jealousy, no sense of possesion. Real, what I thought a dream.' - Colin Farrel in The New World


'Make my eyes ever behold the red & purple sunsets, make me wise so that I may know the things you have taught my people, the lessons you have hidden in every leaf & rock, make me ever ready to come to you with clean hands & straight eye, so that when life fades as the fading sunset my spirit may come to you without shame.' - Old Indian prayer


'The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.' - Albert Einstein


Since 1949-50, an estimated 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed under Chinese occupation and hundreds of thousands have been exiled. The Tibetan culture is being systematically destroyed and the country's natural resources have been ravaged while ordinary Tibetans are treated as second class citizens by Chinese occupiers. Tibetans who outwardly acknowledge their spiritual leader the Dalai Lama are subjected to lengthy prison sentences, torture and even summary execution.
