My Interests

The theory of everything - right now elephants ..

I'd like to meet:

Artists and creative people involved in visual communication, fine art, film, writing and music. People who make minds smile!

Music:

Listening for the sake of listening

Movies:

Stuff that makes me laugh, weep and get angry. Movies like Paul Haggis's Crash and also the work of Jim Jarmusch float my boat! Peter Jackson - what an artist.

Television:

Weir's Way! (Tom Weir - A remarkable guy who wore a bonnet and travelled/filmed walks throughout Scotland during the 1970's). All the documentary channels. HBO

Books:

History and Philosophy mostly, science that I don't understand (but I'll die trying to) and big colourful art books.

Heroes:

Akhenaten, Danton, Richard Feynman, Caravaggio, Folon, Lee Marvin, Virgin (the brand-son) and of course Tom Weir.
