ABOUT ME
I'm originally from the Isle of Wight (south coast of england) and have spent time living in Brighton (uni) and Tang Shan, China (teaching). I have no intention of making any kind of relationship in my life other than friendship. I love to drink, smoke and eat and certainly dont believe in abstaining from pleasure for a possible tommorow. I am a Marxist, a Trotskyist, a Socialist.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is beautiful and constantly changing through conflict and contradiction. Learn from your mistakes. Question everything.
