Who am I?

A I Generated Picture
How would you describe yourself to someone?
When I first introduce myself to anyone I tend to give my name and my profession in that order. Some of my recent posts have been about trying to move on from defining myself as a teacher, although that might take some time.
Then, if we become colleagues or acquaintances I will reflect on my roles as husband and father, something that defines me perhaps more deeply than my profession. I have been married for 35 years in September and a father for 32 years in August so in a sense it is hard to think of myself as an individual person. The family unit is absolutely central to my existence.
If we get to me as a person, I would say, quite genuinely, read my blog as almost everything that I love is in there. You will get to know me far better through those articles and, of course, my views, visitors and reach will all increase so it’s a win win!
So there you have it, I am a family man first, a teacher second (even if I introduce myself as that first) and an individual third. For the rest of the details you can read my blog as I write about music, books, TV, plays and my thoughts.

Complicated. I am a dreamer and a romantic, but increasingly tempered by a realistic, sensible side. I try to be optimistic but life and the state of the world draws out the cynic in me. I consider myself a generally cheerful person but i also have a lifelong melancholy streak. I like my own company but not too much of it! Work is a means to an end but enforced leave these last few weeks has me actually missing the place. My passions are music, astronomy, reading, cooking and travel, but i frequently find myself with neither the time, money or inclination to indulge those things. I’ll be 50 next year and increasingly feel i should make a few few changes in my life but i need a kick up the arse to get on with it!

I think we are all a mass of contradictions. We know what we would do in an ideal world and find ourselves stuck with this borderline awful one instead. I suppose all we can do is our best.
