About Me

A flicker of the screen reflects in your eyes. Mediated by miles of fiber-optic, telecoms equipment and cathode rays a fragment of my soul reaches you. I may as well be a million miles away.
You do not need to know my favourite kind of pizza or whether I've skinny-dipped recently. If you're the kind of superficial person who cares about that, I will probably find you rather boring.
Everyone asks me about my accent. I filled up a passport crossing borders before I hit 18. There is no one country where I spent the majority of my life. It's a product of international schools with kids and teachers from more than a hundred cultures.
I care a great deal about the environment. The thought of thousands of factories churning out acrid black smoke to make shit we don't need disturbs me. I also care about people, especially weaker people who are exploited by stronger people. I may have too much of a conscience for my own good.
Apathy is not one of my problems. I frequently act on my convictions. Sometimes that involves fighting against desperate odds. Sometimes, albeit rarely, it means losing. My motto is "never give up".
I believe in anarchy. I wish to live my life without anyone's interference and I wish the same for everyone else. All tyrants fall and all empires crumble. Global capitalism will collapse like the ugly bloated behemoth it is and I will be watching with a wry grin.
Fortuna audaces juvat.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Smart people with a dash of crazy. If you're smart and you're not at the least slightly crazy, brain cells have been wasted on you.

All my friends are artists, musicians, writers, circus freaks, photographers and subversives. You could be none of the above, but then you're probably looking in the wrong place. Hey, prove me wrong though!

Girls with fewer problems than me.

FAQ about me

It seems like I've had to answer the same questions about myself hundreds of times. They've gotten to the point where they produce a reaction of involuntary annoyance and the answers get more terse, m...

Unspeakable weirdness and emo crap

Ever since I set my status designation back to "single", Myspace's Google ads have been persistently trying to play matchmaker. Previously, my life would've been complete - according to Google - if ...

Skinhead culture

What do you think of when you hear "skinhead"? Gangs of shaven-headed thugs, Nazi salutes and racial hatred? American History X or Romper Stomper? You'd hardly be alone if you did think that. Both pop...

Bob Marley did not invent reggae

Let's face it: you are not hip enough. You're probably sick of walking into trendy clubs only to be ignored by everyone. Or worse, not even being allowed in. There's a whole scene of kids who are not ...

Let’s get physical

My friend recently commented that I gained rather a quantity of XP in the South Island. It was like being an RPG character in real life.
