About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Boing boing

ABOUT ME

I don't like bullshit, except when it's good bullshit.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever makes sense at the time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, weekly meet-ups...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly good - once ended up sleeping in someone's tattoo parlour, which was fun.

Interests

watching sport, playing sport, thinking about sport, reading, writing, music - the GOOD! kind, festivals, pubs, nightclubs, comedy clubs, club sandwiches, raves, russia, chess, extreme strolling, dreams, drugs, thinking about stuff, morrissey, mysticism, meditation, the future, the history of football tactics, fighting against democracy, food

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - indie, funk, soul, lots of others. Really love mclusky, Prefuse 73, future of the left, Joy Zipper, and the mighty, mighty Fall.

Books - Joyce, Amis, Coetzee, Vonnegut, Kafka, Blake. Tom McCarthy's 'Remainder' was the last seriously good book I can remember.

Movies - not too crazy about movies. Stanley Kubrick, Coen Brothers, and David Lynch (esp Twin Peaks, which wasn't really a movie...) are directors I'm quite in to. I really loved the first two 'Alien' movies and really hated the third one. Fourth one was alright.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I get pretty bored listening to people telling tales about the 'amazing' shit they've done unless it's funny or weird.

I once got arrested in Moscow for pissing on the Kremlin, by mistake (I didn't realise it was the Kremlin...)

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't think I can teach you very much! Maybe a little bit about anything I've listed under 'interests'...

I'm up for learning lots of stuff. I'm quite interested in learning a craft, like carpentry or fixing stuff, gardening, brewing beer. chemistry!

I'm getting more and more interested in the practicalities of 'alternative' ways of living - permaculture, communes, etc.

Share? Hahaha you got the wrong guy!
