About Me

From ground below, my eyes, alerted to movement, glance upstrokes at the skies above. To the eyes in my skull, a shape, so vaguely familiar, begins to materialize and descend upon me, enveloping me in timeless and soft pink light. A bomb? A new bomb? A new and shiny yet undefined bomb, unfragmented and pregnant with possibilities? To upglanced eyes, the answer would appear to be "Yes". O! - a fresh start, as I throw out the skulls and dust the ravens out of the gloom closets - preparing my room. /I should take heed of Nietzsche's words when he wrote: "My antipathy.- I do not love people who have to explode like bombs in order to have any effect at all. When one is near them one is always in danger of suddenly losing one's hearing, if not more than that. /Yet, I am still drawn inexplicably towards the XX with explosive potential. XXplosion!

My Interests

Love, life, music, art, coffee, cinema, mad conversation, happy accidents, leftovers, literature, the people I know and love, wet pets, beauty and suffering (prefer beauty obviously, but they are ultimately siamese sisters), flowers, pine cones, gin, writing bad haikus, occasionally being a douchebag (yes, it happens to the best of us), the laws of physics, existentialism, ghostly photographs, satellites, people in the city.

I'd like to meet:
