CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Fat (edit: that was 2006, this isn't so much the case any more!), hairy Irishman, but a pretty nice guy, pretty laid back. I dunno how to describe myself really, somewhat offbeat, but not in a bad way. Not 'normal' but what is 'normal' really?

PHILOSOPHY

'Have a good time all the time' Actually that's a Spinal Tap quote. I'm not completely sure, just be cool with people I guess, don't be an asshole (can I say asshole?). Ask questions, why are things the way they are? not sure? find out!!!
