About Me

Does anyone ever read these?

Really?

I'm Everyman with a head full of miscellaneous knowledge, an appetite for the Truth, and the heart of a Scottish warrior-poet.

Think Encyclopedia Brown meets Cyrano de Bergerac.

My Interests

Some of my interests in no conceivable order..

XBOX LIVE

TREE HUGGING

SPORTS OF ALL KINDS

THEATRE (SHAKESPEARE IN PARTICULAR..)

I'd like to meet:


Like-minded, creative people who believe opinions and ideas shouldn't be spoon-fed by advertising execs directly into our collective subconscious.

REALITY TV ISN'T REALITY!!

Music:



Recently been getting into more classical music and old-school jazz. Listerning to Vivaldi, Brahms, and Mozart a lot.
