About Me

PhD Candidate (i.e. Professional Student); Coffee-addict; Board-rider; Music-lover; Environmental and social activist; Vegetarian; Serial procrastinator and daydreamer extraordinaire. I have two personal mottos:1. Bun Bu Itchi. The Samurai philosophy of 'pen and sword in accord', sometimes referred to as 'Bun Bu Ryo Do', or 'arts, military arts, both ways'. The Western philosophy of ‘The Pen is Mightier than The Sword’ is a motto for wimps - as Neuton said: action-reaction baby! Which leads me to my second personal motto...2. Fuck Shit Up!

My Interests

Activism; Boardsports; Environmentalism; Music; Technology; Travelling...

I'd like to meet:

Myself in an alternate reality. Check! Persons not myself and currently alive in my present reality: Conor Oberst, Johnny Depp, Tim Burton or Wim Wenders perhaps. Or just people that dig the same stuff I do. There are plenty of dead people I'd like to meet, but for now meeting myself in an alternate reality was confronting enough.

Music:

Gothic; Grunge; Indie; Nu-Metal; Post-Punk; Psychobilly; Shoegaze; Trip-Hop...

Movies:

Mostly Art-House, Independent, Sci-Fi, or anything with Vampires.

Television:

Books:

Mostly Beat, Cyberpunk, Poetry or Political.

Heroes:

Those who ride sideways and those who fight the good fight!
