About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and learn as much as I can along the way.

ABOUT ME

Where to begin? I suppose I could start by giving a brief description of myself. I reached the ripe-old age of 23 back in July on the 36th anniversary of the first moon walk (get the date right and you'll win a cookie . . . actually, that's a lie. My cookies are nobody else's business.) I'm 6'2", blond-ish hair, and I have hazel eyes (or brown...I can't tell anymore after 'the accident'. I'm interested in just about anything in the liberal arts discipline not involving maths or science. When I'm not busy saving cute kittens and finding various cures for consumption, scarlet fever, and other Victorian maladies, I pursue my quest to make Poulenc a main staple of the British music scene.
I'm a nice guy, I like meeting new people and seeing the world. Next time you're in Paris come round and we'll have a chat.

PHILOSOPHY

"Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo." -- Virgil, Aeneid VII, 1. 312
