About me:
"It is better to be hated for what one is than loved for what one is not."
- Andre Gide (1869 - 1951).
"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world."
-Octave Mirbeau (1848 - 1917).
Curriculum Vitae.
I am the mouth of NotSoPretty - a beautiful and anarchic band from Nottingham. I am also a writer. In that I write. I don't want to be anything else.

How has life been treating you? What does the tide bring your way?
Have you heard "Soul in Isolation" by The Chameleons? Interesting song.
I hope you are well. I've thought about you often, and tried to text you from hospital as I was in desperate need of a creative comrade/muse...but there was an error in sending.
Oceans don't exist. The ones you see are just CGI.
