About Me

Just moved to the delights of Borough...
pretty laid back and try to be as relaxed about things as poss - I get bored easily unless I love what im doing. Into playing a few sports, bit of an adrenalin junkie & like to party and relax hard too.
studied and worked in Brighton & Hove the last 4/5 years and thats where I nurtured my love of music I think (ur spoilt for choice down there), beach/brighton life is bliss.
On another tip.. honesty is beautiful - if your not honest, please leave, shut the door and dont say a thing :)
Have been working for an Ad agency but now looking for something fulfilling so just moved to London to get into Primary teaching (im only 96% sure I wanna do it, but it seems to be rewarding and stimulating!? we will see :)
I really want to go to South America, India, Cuba and Canada.
anyway, I love music (the styles, the soulfulness, discovering new..) and thats why I joined myspace - its a trap im sure of it..
Checkout Inside Scandinavia or Saint germain des-pres cafe 8. Peace

(from Sky sports) time of my life, in Istanbul - I could watch this every day.. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual &videoid=1730057984 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzQDxsoSgtE
*** Rant: (I still think its ridiculous, that we have to work our whole lives generally in a boring mind numbing job to be a 'success' in life.. And that your countries economy has to grow every single year otherwise its failed - is this view sustainable? ....it is until there is no more land and too many people, then how will it still grow and what will happen to everyone? lets just wait till it happens then but hey the Blairs and Bush's wont be around in 50yrs time so why should they think about our kids, kids, kids', its all about the money and the people who have lots of it and that shouldnt be right. the rich get richer and the poor have less and less. if we dont behave in a sustainable way then the world is up shit creek...) Also, Blair says that we need immigrants to do the low paid work the British wont do - well, when the immigrants are integrated, they won't want to do low paid work in a few yrs and then we will have to get more in, and then more in, its a revolving circle that cant possibly work in the long run, and u cant just keep building bigger airports, more roads and towns, its got to stop somewhere and when it does what will happen? HONESTLY, THE CAPITALIST SOCIETY IS FOR SHORT TERM GAIN AND BUILT ON CONTINUAL PROFIT AND EXPANSION. IT CANNOT POSSIBLY BE SUSTAINABLE, and if u say anything bad about it people think ur an anarchist or a tree-hugger, thats balls...Rise-up! The world has existed for millions of years - whats the hurry in destroying it in a hundred???
ill have to write a blog about this or something :) (Rant added on 14/09/06, since updated) Peace. www.antiapathy.org
