Me Me Me

I am going to refrain from giving a complete indication as to my identity, mainly out of a healthy respect for my own privacy which I realise is a mildly moronic exercise given the baring of my personal thoughts to the ever unruly cyberspace. Let’s keep it to the basics….I’m a qualified European who has paid rent in 13 countries so far and speaks relatively fluently in 4 languages and one dialect after having studied in 3 universities and graduating from two of them. My curriculum vitae is eclectic to say the least, meaning that recruitment agencies are far too basic to know what to do with someone like me. Despite having started out in Corporate, I have fled at every available opportunity to taste the very essence of what my heart desires at the time. Inevitably this has forced me to become an entrepreneur with a penchant for the Great Outdoors, being most satisfied whilst staring into a log fire in some patch of wilderness and munching on lightly charred steak under a night sky awash with stars and space junk as the baby turtles scamper towards their heavily weighted destiny. Yes, I am healthy and athletic, find the concept of inhaling smoke into my lungs as idiotic, and get more excited about cake than I do alcohol. Yet my dark side has me addicted to TV, driving offensively, and speaking my mind with an assassin’s focus that, whilst well-meaning, has cost me many a door to close. On a spiritual level I would say that I have an utter disregard for any religion, yet will fight anyone’s corner to preserve their faith. My life’s experiences have taken me from the serene connection of higher intuition to the lows of complete self-despair and self-doubt. As I now hit my fourth decade, wisdom is starting to prevail and I like to think that I have more certainty with regards to the essence of being, be it personality or contribution to the world. I may be an avid fan of the Environment, yet am completely aware of the hypocrisy in that I am one the worst offenders each time I strap into yet another intercontinental flight or gun my 4 litre engine. However, to complete my monologue, just know that I am an extremely principled individual, with high standards that have alienated many a friend or colleague. Whatever my quirks and oddities, I’m a good person and focused on leaving a positive legacy behind.
