About Me
- Bio
After experimenting with a number of different projects and with varying degrees of success, i'm begininning on the path to becoming an English language teacher abroad. I hope for this to be a path that moves me towards achieving a more holistic, earthed and proactive existence. I learn more about myself and this world everyday through thought, exeperience and my thirst for more knowledge and communication. One of the greatest loves in my life is music and i play some instruments (always self taught). I'm trying to learn more music theory as well and listen to a wide variety of things from metal to jazz to blues to hip hop to folk and anything that really moves me or inspires me. I try and write, but this doesn't always work out! i lack discpiline and try to write everything from novels, to scripts, to essays and articles and a heavy measure of lyrics/poems/spoken word stuff. I am guilty of abandoning writing for long periods though! who knows, maybe it will all come out one day!
