John von Sydney's photostream  

Mid 20th century romantic of classic education, literary leanings and man of independent means, built of iron, handsome as anything. Dedicated to total world domination but taking a few years off at the moment, just to collect my thoughts and perhaps publish my memoirs. Would gladly get back on track with complete global oppression if it weren't for my dicky knee you know?

Tireless social worker, bon vivant patron of the Arts, uncanny ballroom dancer (naturally aspirated Latin style), late fifties in age and have absolutely no idea what I want to do when I grow up. A couple of years ago I concluded adulthood wasn't what I thought it would be - far too serious - so I officially tendered my Resignation as an Adult application forms, handed back my credit cards, house keys and all other grown-up things. I have now reverted to adolescence, keep my money in my handkerchief and am permanently residing in 1969, pretending Ballad of John & Yoko and Honky Tonk Women are still on the charts!

Now the boring, genuine part. Recently retired, currently enjoying my life-long hobby of motorcycle touring and restoration, engaged in Russian studies at Sydney University (mainly language) to keep the brain box active as I enter life's autumn years. Have made one trip to Russia, absolutely love the country, people and culture, hoping to return again one day.
