A huge indie music fan, though I can and do appreciate many other genres. Life would be dull without the beauty of rhythm. Don’t have any absolutely favorite artists, which is the nature of the indie genre, lots of amazing quirky bands doing their own little thing. Mumford, Avalanche City, Awolnation, Smallpools, Passenger and Edward Sharpe are among some of my favorite. Recently starting being very fascinated with remixes. If you know who Cosmo Jarvis is, I want to marry you and have your kids. Biology be damned, we’ll make it work somehow. I love a wide range of movies; mostly mainstream stuff, though I’m on a Wes Anderson binge now. Also, anything with Clive Owen/Jude Law/Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence. I shall stop name-dropping like a fanboy now.

Hiked to Everest Base Camp with half a lung of liquid. Fought a chemical warehouse fire with cyanide gas tankers exploding everywhere, wearing nothing but cotton and a grin. Kissed a pretty girl. Stole a nation's dignity. Drove across the great Victorian desert in Australia. Lost a toenail trekking through the Brunei jungle. Smashed the only bottle of beer on top of a volcano while reaching for a celebratory drink
