My name's Kam, I'm 19 and currently a Uni student. I happen to live in good old Perth, Western Australia, one of the most mundane places in the world.
Anyway about me... I'm a lazy fellow, would really love to live my life on my bed, however once in a while I do enjoy a bit of sport here and there. I like to play any sport really, coz I'm usually good at most of them. Had been a bit of an athlete throughout my life, until Chronic Fatigue Syndrome turned me into a lazy bastard.
I didn't go to school in yr 11 and 12, just stayed home 95% of the time but I'm still really proud of the fact that I did very well in my exams. I often rub it in to the people who didn't do so good and ended up in some crappy institution but that's just my perspective in life. Glory doesn't last forever so you may as well bask in it as much as you can while you can.
Apart from school and sleep another aspect of my life is art. I'm a lover of all artforms, be it music, literature or oil on canvas. My favourite painter is the Dutch artist Rembrandt. I admire the way he's able to capture and reportray life as if it were right in front of your eyes. That visionary sensation is just unbeatable. Of course there are also those that I hate, like Picasso. What a bastard.
Now music. I enjoy music that is soothing to the ears but I also like music that challenges your sense, and thought. I used to fancy myself as a bit of singer but smoking and alcohol has hindered my ability to quite an extent. Throughout my life I've found that I did have a certain degree of talent in the field of music and quite a shame that I didn't have the resources to focus on this artform. However I have been compensating with some self lessons, thanks to the internet and my chord book, on the guitar and although I'm not adept, at least I'm capable of playing some tunes.
Before I was even able to read I've been intrigued by ways stories and tales can set such beautiful imagery. Shortly after I was able to read I was getting stuck on novels. Most of what I read were fantasy, heroic figures going out to do good in the world. My upbringing on such tales have moulded me into the individual that I am today. I have a stout stand on morals and a thorough definition of honour. However the downside of exposure to so many fantastic fabrications was my burning discontent with old Mundania. I felt that life sucked coz all those super things that I performed in Xanth I was unable to manifest in this realm.
So I
needed something new in this dimension to inspire me to stay put. That
was when I discovered travel. There was definitely an insurmountable number
of things that I have never ever seen or experienced in this realm and
that made me extremely interested about Mundania again. Rather than experiencing
sensations in the make believe world, why don't I reach out and encounter
what the real world has to offer? So that turned a new leaf in my life
and I've progressively matured in order to pursue my ultimate goal.
