    I work for British Telecom, in the BT Retail section

    I love photography, listening to music, reading and writing poetry, and have had several poems published

    I occasionally gp to the pub, and am a Real Ale drinker

    I am divorced with a son from my marriage, and a daughter from a recent relationship

    That's about it, or all I can think of for now anyway.

    Hehehe...

    I guess that was one good thing about working and being a dub. After it all fell apart I had a lot of money saved up because I never did the normal teenager buy-stuff kind of thing. It's a long story but I secretly befriended a german foreign exchange student my senior year of high school...(freshman year of college is when I fell-out da troof.) Well that summer I decided, to heck with it, I'm gonna be destroyed so I might as well see the world before that day and I went and spent the summer in germany with my friend and we went all over the place.

    Then I met people on the internet and visited them here and yon. It's a good thing. :)

    Thanks Daystar, I've already got a digital camera, picked it up pretty cheaply earlier in the year, and took some nice pictures when I was on holiday, but haven't really had the opportunity to take many recently...

    i read, write, draw and paint. so that keeps me pretty busy. i play the guitar and the cello, and write music. i used to be really into linux and clusters, but i lost interest in that pretty much. i have disbanded my 9 node cluster.

    sometimes i just go out in the middle of the night and bike around town, and come up with comedy skits in my head, and laugh to myself.

    listen to re-runs of BBC 4 science online.

    chat with friends in IM.

    drink. i mean, let's be honest people. and take a couple of hits on the bong.

    cook. i am a sauce man.

    sit around and be depressed > play with the dog > sit around and be happy. take the dog for a walk > chase rabbits > laugh my ass off.

    take my ghetto blaster up into the bathroom, and put on feist, and turn the lights off and shower in the dark. i love that.

    sleep. ya, i love that too, just not at night... the day time is so boring anyways. the night is when the colors come out, and the world is just how i like it.
