My interests are vast and diverse, or so id like to think. Ill stick to the main ones here. I love my friends, they have saved my life many times over. Im sure ive saved them once or twice, swings and roundabouts you know. I fell in love with music in my early teens. From then on my life has definitely been shaped by the music i listen to. From the people i hang out with, to the pubs i drink in, even to the women ive dated, small list but none the less!! My music taste has gotten more diverse with age, for a small example of what i listen to look below. I go to a lot of gigs, you cant beat live music, and there just seems to be more and more going on these days. Im not the most career driven person you'll ever meet. I mean... we all have to work dont we? But i could never define my life by the work i do. So i tend to just drift from job to job. As long as i have an income you know.
I Started travelling in my early twenties, so far ive managed to wander around Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, Egypt, Japan and pretty much all of western Europe. But not Britain oddly enough! I only planned on doing it once, but fell in love with seeing the world, and realised i love being outdoors. Ive never got on well with British weather so the Southern Hemisphere was a good place to explore. Apart from Europe ive always travelled alone, I love the mixture of fear & freedom that comes from arriving in a country you've never been to before, and having no clue what to do with yourself. What usually happens next includes synchronistic encounters with random people that take you to places you never dreamed of going a few days before. Because of this i never plan when I travel, and only buy one way tickets... Who knows who your gonna meet?? I have a thirst for knowledge, and an obsession for truth... Funnily enough i didnt discover this until i went travelling and started reading a lot. Im always reading something i can learn from, or unlearn, depending on the needs of the moment.
I tend to contradict myself on a daily basis... Sometimes im an Optimist, other times a Pessimist. Sometimes a Sadist, other times a Masochist. Im not a religious man, sometimes i border on spiritual but it totally depends on my mood. Im openminded when it comes to drugs, if that bothers you i recommend you take a look at the world we live in and shutting your fucking mouth!! Sorry had to get a Bill Hicks quote in here somewhere. There... now you know a little about me. Unless you already know me, and your reading this because your bored. In which case i think you need to find a hobby.
Anyone open minded enough not to judge me by my word or actions (they are misconstrued more often than not) Asking a lot i know... Oh and the delectable Natasha Khan

Lyric of the week: With my feet upon the ground, i lose myself between the sounds, and open wide to suck it in, i feel it move across my skin, im reaching up and reaching out, im reaching for the random, or whatever will bewilder me, and following our will and wind, we may just go where no ones been, we'll ride the spiral to the end, and may just go where no ones been. Spiral out, keep going. Click the banner to add Justice For Kurt!
