ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm David, a contributor here at Wikipedia. My outside interests include Photography and Philosophy, Bodybuilding, Road Cycling, Mountain Climbing, DIY projects, Poetry, blog writing and digital art.

I am enthusiastically involved in related activities, such as writing for several companies and combining poetry with philosophy on several websites. When I find a little time you will find me in the garden using my telescope. Astronomy is fascinating and discovering nebula, planets and stars is highly exciting.

MY WORK

I currently run Intelligent SEO which is a digital marketing agency for global companies. Here you will find me creating digital graphics, using photography, writing articles, creating brochures, building websites and producing organic SEO results for new business sales. The skills required for each role are very different and require ample amounts of knowledge. However, working for a design agency in the past; helped me to dip in and out of each field.

Poet Life
I love writing poetry, wisdom and philosophy. I built paradoxicalvista.org which showcases all my work. I have also published my first book Paradoxical Vista - Mind-Bending Poetry & Wisdom which is available on the Amazon book store.

A sample of my work:

Awoken Into That Light Of Day
Awoken into that light of day,

still here from yesterday

a place of unspoken.

Not gone yet I see

as the body starts to feel.

On again, to the numbness of employment.

Paying for all that is spoken

Into these foreseen moments

of encapsulating components,

to which deliver devotion

and a little emotion.

Commotion!

On the roads, ahead.

While delivering life from beyond the bed.

One day all will be dead.

Awoken into that light of day

Ready to take on another slay.

Someone take us to the grave,

Before life unravels it’s true say.

Awaiting to retire

With no plan, ahead.

While delivering life from beyond the bed.

Is all this a waste of great taste?

Beyond a transparent interface.

One day we shall know

The point of life

You know.

Awoken into that light of day,

While delivering life from beyond the bed.

I'm currently writing my first poetry book called Paradoxical Vista a doorway to a spiritual awakening. This should be published around 2019.

PERSONAL LIFE

I currently live and work in Norwich UK. I have 4 sons with my wife. We have a huge garden which is great for activities such as football, rugby and general running around. I also have 5 brothers and sisters who are now spread across the UK. All of which have families of their own. Family celebration times are busy, noisy and fun.

NICKNAME

My nickname is Diddy, which was given to me by my young sister in the 90's. She couldn't pronounce 'David' and called me Diddy instead. This has stuck ever since.
