I'm an independent person and I always have different projects going. It annoys me sometimes that it seems there is not enough time in life to enjoy all the wonderful things within it.

Although I feel I love everything at least a little, I couldn't imagine my life without music or writing. I really enjoy the way different artists, be they poets, musicians, or writers, use words to express themselves. I took up guitar around half a decade ago and that added another layer of richness to that experience that I am grateful for.

I've lead an interesting life and I have some interesting stories. I also love reading the stories of others -- so, please write!

If you're keen to send and receive letters, I'd love that.

Writing, poetry, literature, music, and true crime. I also like to restore vintage watches and typewriters. I'm sure that I can find just about anything interesting. It's my gift.

I try to enjoy all music. I get annoyed when my sense of self gets in the way of enjoying something really great. I do gravitate to singer-songwriters when I get a choice. Elliott Smith, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen are favourites.

The Russian greats are the best novelists in my view, Hemingway the best writer, and Camus the most thought-provoking.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
