About me

Gender	Male
Industry	Non-Profit
Location	Ireland
Introduction	Word. Please, just ENJOY my blog, as I reckon nothing should be taken too seriously. As for me, I think in abstract ways and will never bore myself - hence my unconventional approach to bloggage. With all this said - I CAN be a serious person if needs be, I am aware of the world's problems and failings make for a fucked-up existence. But in general, this blog - as with most stuff I involve myself in - takes a light-hearted and off-kilter view on politics, current affairs, videogames, films and music. Otherwise: I'd prefer this kinda info to unwravel in the blog proper, better do that then, [or just go see how rubbish I really am on Facebook].
