About Me

Video

Well really, it's a bit much: hours and hours of footage of me, me, me, me. Personally, I hate most of the videos of myself. I think I look and sound awful. I can only assume that this is the truth.

But these are all out there on the internet, so I might as well collect them here. Watch them with dark glasses on and your favourite music on in the background, really loud.
