Hiya Guys

So, while I should be writing my essay on Heidegger I shall write my second blog, telling you a little about me what I spend my life doing and my interests.

So, if any of you don’t know I completed my degree in Theology at Leeds Trinity University and am now currently studying for my Masters in European Philosophy at Manchester Metropolitan (part-time, I think I would have gone mad otherwise). I spend most of my time reading, studying, hanging out with Luke, and a lot of time on my hamsters. My favourite thinker is Nietzsche, and I would if I can succeed like to do a phd on him but we will see J but for now he brightens up my life with his pessimistic world view lightened by his promise of self overcoming. I honestly will try limit my random mind drifts on Nietzsche… can’t promise anything though.

For those of you who know me well, you will know that I love animals of all kinds but due to my busy life and lack of space I own hamsters (not that my hamsters don’t a lot of time, they get loads) but they are less maintenance than a dog etc. Plus the fact that I absolutely love hamsters and rodent creatures. I would keep buying them if I had more space, as I do spoil them with massive cages (Luke will vouch for this) Anyway currently I have 1 very large Syrian hamster named Muffin, and 4 Roborovski’s one called Camus the others called little hammies (as I literally cannot tell them apart physically only by character, and if I named them after their character it would result in names like, bar chewer, digging sawdust out of the cage so I have to clean it, the squeaker, toy destroyer. So for now they are little hammies, except Camus who got bullied by the others for no reason, thus we called her Camus as she had to fight absurdity of her bullying for no reason from the other hammies for a couple of days before we moved her. In the future I would love to live on a farm….*drifts into daydream*

Anyway so when I am not doting on my hammie friends, I am either sat at the desk reading and researching for my MA. Reading random books I enjoy that usually have nothing to do with work but are kinda related like psychiatry etc. I admit I spend a lot of my free time reading and looking up random questions I think of during the week on a massive wikipedia session. To give you an idea my last wikipedia mad search started with looking up how we domesticated wolves into dogs to the process of fertilising hen eggs and what happens as the chicken develops. So hey I have random knowledge, but my goodness its sooooooo interesting. Then if I am lucky enough to have someone with me (usually Luke) I enlighten them into all the things I have found out whether they wish to hear or not. Me and Luke were watching a Muppets movie not long back and while in a hot air balloon Gonzo said ‘I wonder when you would pass out if you were hurtling to the ground’ Luke said that sums up you and the type of things you ask and think about, and I have to be honest I do. I am that person that ask people how they would prefer to die given a choice of drowning, suffocated, or being burnt. Or why all types of crossings in England are named after animals, and if there are any that are not then why not, what criteria were they using?

Once you get to know me you’ll realise I talk non-stop and usually vocalise whatever is going through my head which is not always a good thing. I have a feeling glancing over my writing overhead that this blog is not going to be any different. But I hope it gives people a chance to get to know me a little better. I am a little shy at first but once you get to know me you might like me, then again you might think I am strange but that’s cool too.

I won’t lie and pretend that I won’t be posting serious blogs as well especially on current issues such as politics (when I get it :/ ) religion etc. I will also be posting on  issues I value such as animal rights. Please keep reading and feel free to comment, I value other opinions and like to chat
