About Me

I could have sworn that I filled this in already but my mind plays a lot of tricks on me. We used to get on so well until i introduced chemicals to the relationship. Now the chemicals have both me and my mind captive,like rubberized gimps in a dingy cellar, but my mind is still above me in the pecking order. I am the remnant of the battle between the other two. Sometimes I just feel like a kid sat out on the stairs, late at night, hunched up, quiet as a mouse, and i can hear them arguing downstairs. I wish they would stop. It tears me apart. The chemicals have to relent their voracity. If not my mind will have no choice but to go...and where will that leave me...?

My Interests

Laughing at peasants (guilty pleasure, i know), Yawning, Renaming people, Plotting prison breaks (although i have never been detained at Her Majesty's pleasure),..Drawing plans all over my body with a Berol felt tip pen and then having a shower with Sanex to wash it back off and start again (ad infinitum)

I'd like to meet:

Japanese me...but he won't actually talk japanese (not in my presence anyway), he'll just be me with a comedy japanese accent and cooler clothes. Incidentally, I thought about meeting Ukrainian me but he is sooo stand-offish. I think it's a communist thing.I would like to point out that I clearly am aware that Jackie Chan is singing in Cantonese and I am not just tarring all Oriental people with one yellow brush. Japanese = Fashion/Style, Cantonese = Kung Fu/Rice

Music:

Vivaldi's Four Seasons (Spring Allegro my particular favorite), Haydn's Cello Concertos...and anything with men prancing around performing high octane moves with accompanying catchy lyrics. For example...

Movies:

Fight Club, 300 (I want to be a Spartan when I grow up) Requiem for a Dream, Dentist on the Job, Pom Poko, American Psycho, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, The Man with 2 Brains, Gladiator, Once Upon a Time in China, 25th Hour, Wall Street, Leon, Hudson Hawk (Would you like to swing on a star anyone?) The Bottom Dweller, Blood Diamond, MI2 & Vanilla Sky...nearly anything as long as Adam Sandler isn't within pissing distance of it.

Television:

Rumpole of the Bailey, Fred Dibnah, Charlie Brooker, Jon Stewart, Chris Morris, George Alagiah (the Kobe Bryant of evening news) and Krishnan Guru-Murthy (the Shaquille O'Neal)

Books:

The Prince, The Little Prince, Republic, Illuminatus Trilogy, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Tyrants of the Twentieth Century, The Godfather, King James Bible, Towards Bicultural Competence, Origin of the Species, The Picture of Dorian Gray, A Tale of Two Cities.

Heroes:

Genghis Khan, Cosimo Medici, Carl Jung, Jacques Derrida and the Immortals (Jesus, Elijah and Moses)
What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are a wanderer. You constantly long for a new adventure, challenge, or eve a completely different life.

You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds.

You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you're a bit full of yourself.

Your near future is in a very different place (both physically and mentally) from where you are right now.

For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. Inside the Room of Your Soul
