How Do?

I live it up in Colchester and go out for fun to Whitby, Manchester, London, Leeds or Southampton.

This journal is for fun and friends only and in no way does it represents my official position or a public statement, this is more relaxed and informal and permission to reproduce is reserved please ask, I reserve the right to refuse.

A brief overview I am interested in politics and I work in the voluntary sector. I am interested in homelessness, advice and mental health. I support the vital work of local Citizens Advice, have worked for the NHS in Mental Health, as a manager of a street homeless shelter, I have also worked with projects focusing on ethnic minorities and youth.

I have been known to wear dark clothing, and it is rumoured that I may have been seen with long hair and that... well if you don't know what comes next I'll save you the ordeal and omit it *G* (pogtanius could tell you if he uses his LJ!) However it has been suggested I am a little not.goth with clogs on...or if fuzzygoth can be believed, horror of horrors a net.goth EEEKKKK!, nahh can't be true...Mike has a bit of fun and tries to embrace that which is other...to be a man of peace for the love of God and the determination born from compassion and a desire to slip beyond role playing and into authenticity...Interested in character, friends, family and making a positive difference.

A dyslexic who loves to ponder a bit and to bounce ideas around, who also supports the Liberal Democrats for Governance in the UK! The only sensible choice as I really find it difficult to tell the difference between labour and tories both have had long goes and as far as I can tell my positive rating is could do so much better!

"First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the sick, the so-called incurables, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't mentally ill. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me." Martin Niemöller
