About Me

i'm insular and abrasive, i like debating things and generally making social protests against starbucks (just because its fairtrade doesnt make it right to occupy every town/city in the world). I also like to make things see blog for information.

but thats enough of this .. i think..

for more on dom and his current affairs see..

My Interests

radio, music, politics, drawing, animation, sewing, reading, writing, making things (crafts of all kinds), watching people (in a purely antroprological way), podcasts (i guess thats a kind of radio though), learning, animals, cooking (vegetarian stuff only) and walks.

I'd like to meet:

people who can talk about anything all night over a cup of tea..
i dont like to meet people that take lots of pictures of themselves and then pretend its art, its not...its vanity with retrogressive justification.

just because everyone does it doesnt make it right.
