Me. Hmmm. Outgoing, outspoken, opinionated yet open minded.

My environmental objectives: I would like to live as close as possible to being sustainable (bad sentence but you get the drift...)

People I admire: My wife.

Things I would like to change: Peak Oil,

Favourite music: I have very eclectic tastes, but right now I am really into many Kiwi bands like "Fat Freddy's Drop" and "The Black Seeds". Steady favorites include The Beatles, The Kinks, Geoff Buckley, Massive (Attack), Nina Simone... too many to list really.

Favourite films: ..again far too many to list but some that come to mind:

I Heart Huckerbees, Crash, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Magnolia.... may fill some more in later :)

Favourite books: "Still Life with Woodpecker" and "Jitterbug Perfume" by Tom Robbins are right up my street..... lots more later :)

Favourite quotes: "The leading of a human life is a full time occupation to which we all dedicate decades of intense concern."

... "part of the problem is that we have an almost incurable tendancy to take ourselves seriously"

Political views: Like my good friend Oliver (on this site) I have lost most faith in most political institutions and I too lean to the left. Mostly I think too many of us (including me!) are too apathetic towards politics...

Show less.
