I guess Iam pretty unconventional. Whilst other people aspire aspire to have a house a car and a family I don't. I would like to share with other people who are not caught up in 20th century capitalism and consumerism. Unfortunately most of the world is and in 15 years of travelling to more than 90 countries I have not found a place I call home even. Though I believe that just because that the majority of people do something it doesn't make it right... I like have fun by playing crazy games (theatresports, backyard cricket etc) watching inspiring drama and dancing to rock and roll or techno music.

You might find me helping the organc farmers in Korea or dancing in the sunshine to techno music at a green festival. I meet a lot of nice people but they are either old or kids or family people...and most are men. I would lke to meet some woman my age sometime. First to talk to . Physically I am short and very slim so that's what kind of women I like. lookswise (complexition etc) I find the opposite to me is attractive .. I don't find blondes attractive, but longblack hair is Stew's Interests General Walden, learning about the world, reading, live theatre, playing and intimacy, interesting worthwhile work I hate doing jobs that are pointless Music Techno dance, Rock an Roll Movies I hate Hollywood movies.. I'd rather go and see some live theatre in the park Television 99% of TV is crap like all modern media espcially the news ..it's not news at all just entrtainment it fails to give you a true perspective of the world. Do you know there are 300,000 deaths a day 200,000 of which are premature an 5 major wars happening at any one time .... even though you only hear about Iraq.
