About me: I dig every minute, even the shit ones.I have learned that it’s good to be here. It’s taken me seventeen years to breath in and another ten to breathe out, so here we go: I can't say where I'll be in a year. I like heights, the thrill of feeling scared, staying up late, getting up early. I once know a girl who ran with her eyes closed. I am a photography teacher who works for a record company and at the weekends I work for a national radio station. Music, Art, Travel, Being on tour, Food, Whiskey, Clothes, Books, Plays, Memories, Randomness, Cooking, Being with Friends, Fulfilling your destiny, Manual Labour, Acting, Secrets, Films, Wine, Running, Girls, Backstage, Hotel bathrooms, Beds, Bars, Car and lumps of lard.. I one played Jesus in a play about a drug dealing' hipster, I got nailed. . People who underestimate me / small minds / Jealously ..What’s the difference? It’s all the same.. bustin’ a move, making your own breaks. Digging your own holes, building your own bridges. A secret life of diplomatic discretion. I find a place for everything. Lists... The part of me you get is the part of me I want to give. Time is never wasted, just opportunity. I wanted to do what I'm doing since I was seven. While writing this I was drinking a last of me Pouilly-fuisse. Lived in Dublin. Lived in San Fran. Lived in L.A. and bit the big apple. .I especially love shoes, booze, dreamboats, tunes, making dresses and small animals who are weird looking and like to talk. The past is gone and it went by like dusk to dawn .Isn't that the way .Everybody's got their dues in life to pay. . Some people really impress me due to the simple things they do. So many stories. So many late nights, So many mornings, So many smiles. Tomorrow will always be different…I edit my profile with alcohol
*cough* oh yea of course I've been practicing....I'm practically fluent now! Errr...i just get easily distracted ya know...so it might look like i've forgotten everything, but it's just because my mind is elsewhere, honest! *cough* lol. I still remember how to sign 'my name', that's a handy start lol, not sure about the rest. As for work Im still workin at the same ole, same ole, but im also making some extra money taking these surveys things online; you should give em a try; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
