To sickbag, are you from Brighton then? I was was born in Brighton and lived there till I was went to university. Marvelous plave in the summer.

To sheeba, those were incredible times indeed. At the time I never realised how special it all was, I thought the change in the world always occured like that. But that was a unique time. Did you ever go to any raves in Brighton. Know what you mean about the deafness thing, the volume at those places was ridiculous.

I never gave up anything! When I began to travel and teach fresh out of university, I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Spent a decade, off and on traveling and teaching in four continents.

Then I stopped, came home, got married, had a child and became a middle class man. We just bought our second home, bigger and better. I work four hours a day and spend the rest of my time with my daughter. My life has never been more comfortable. Where I live now there is no traffic, no noise. On the weekends as I sit in the balcony and sip my coffee, it is so peaceful that I can hear my stomach digesting my breakfast.

If it is true that nothing is more dangerous than safety, then I am living the most dangerous life possible and loving every minute of it. I never want to be a foreigner again; I never want to be any place where English is a foreign language. I never want to share an apartment; I never want to live in an apartment.

I wouldn't give up my life for all the adventure in the universe. My daugter is the greatest adventure that will last me a lifetime!
