What I’m doing with my life
A mix of things you wouldn't believe and things you wouldn't care
about.
I’m really good at
Guitar Hero. Yes; I am a very unimpressive man.
The first things people usually notice about me
My perma-scowl. It used to be my hoboesque appearance, but I shaved
my beard off after being mistaken for a suicide bomber at Kastrup
airport. Also, old women tend to notice my orange-streaked hair and
Torres headband.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books -
Haruki Murakami is probably my
favourite author. Well, no probably about it. I also like various
philosophy
books, religious or spiritual treatises (
Bushido/
Taoist literature), books on the psyche,
books on mythology and the occult, Sartre, Kierkegaard, Camus,
Dark Tower
series, Japanese literature such as the works of
Natsume Soseki,
Mariko Hashioka,
Yasunari
Kawabata,
Yukio Mishima, things to do with
social science, political stuff, and stuff many people would find
pointless or tedious.
Films - Not all that many other than Weird Asian films,
thought provoking films such as Eternal Sunshine, hilarious ones
like Dumb And Dumber, and real life ones such as Fear And Loathing
In Las Vegas. The best films I've seen recently are Straw Dogs and
The Diving Bell.
Final Fantasy looked lovely, in
fairness. Big fan of much comedy stuff on TV though. The Office,
Futurama,
Peep Show,
Family Guy,
Alan
Partridge,
Nathan Barley,
Black Books,
Jam,
Father Ted,
Ren And Stimpy,
South Park.
Curb Your
Enthusiasm as I totally empathise with Larry David.
Also,
The Itchy and Scratchy
Show and
Fightin'
Round The World With Russell Crowe.
Music - Pretty weird ranging stuff.
Stone Roses,
Sigur Ros,
Gomez,
Jeff Buckley,
Jun Yamamoto,
Interpol,
Beethoven,
John Martyn,
Pavement,
Susumu Yokota,
Xavier Rudd,
The Bluetones,
Elliott Smith,
Nusrat
Fateh Ali Khan,
Radiohead,
South,
Massive Attack,
Nick Drake,
Iron And Wine,
John Butler Trio,
Bon Iver,
Andrea
Bocelli,
Scott Matthews,
Black Rebel
Motorcycle Club,
Seth Lakeman,
Jose Gonzalez,
Michiko Tanaka,
Bach,
The Verve - basically
dream pop/folk/indie/whatever.
Food - I put jalapeno peppers on/in/near/at everything.
The six things I could never do without
Soul
Death
Words
Space
Serenity
Variety
I spend a lot of time thinking about
It changes with my
moods, a million different things from one
day to the next. What people are trying to achieve. Is there
universal
truth? How people would live if they knew exactly when they
were going to die from the day they were born. Why so many people
think
friendships and
relationships are totally
black and white. Why certain emotions are more desirable than
others. Whether, if I was so inclined, I woul dmake an
effective/interesting serial killer. What people could give to one
another and why they don't. Which country shall I go to next? Why
people fear
death. So many things.
People's opinions fascinate me, so I spend a lot of time thinking
about them.
On a typical Friday night I am
Seeing how many times I can bounce a basketball in an hour, then
trying to break that record.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Dancer In The Dark makes me cry like a tiny girl.
You should message me if
Any of the below apply:
- The prospect of a 'normal' life (wife/ 2.4 kids/ mortgage/
tedious career etc.) scares you more than anything else.
- You know over 30 South Park quotes.
- You are Stevie Nicks (come on Stevie, it's rock 'n' roll to have
a toyboy. I can cook and everything. We can do karaoke?)
- You are ANGRY that no one has heard of South.
- You are a desperate fool at the end of your pitiful rope.
