CURRENT MISSION My mission, as it's so put, is to get some serious travel done while i have the chance, meet as many new people as i can, and become something more than what i currently am. ABOUT ME Where to begin. I'm a 28 year old Aussie/Kiwi who's spent his recent 'young adult' years studying at Uni, playing guitar, practicing Capoeira and making friends. I've been working as a crew member on as many films, tv shows, and commercials as i can trying to learn the industry from the inside out. I would describe myself as a friendly guy, with a real passion for making new friends and learning new things. I love playing guitar as a past-time, and have taught a bit of Capoeira which i find also to be very rewarding. I have a knack for sarcasm, if you can call that a knack, and would generally fall into the 'joker' category if you were to ask my mates. I hope. Describing yourself is a bit of a bizarre ritual, so take what i say here with a grain of sugar and you'll find i'm a little more modest in real life, and much much funnier. I'm really just looking forward to traveling and making new friends everywhere i go, and i hope i'm privileged enough to crash on a few good couches owned by a few great people. PHILOSOPHY I've lived my life mostly around the philosophy that if you get the opportunity to laugh, you ought to take it. It's not as difficult to be happy or see the bright side as some often think, but it is sometimes necessary to ride out the bad before getting the good. There's an upside to all things, no matter what the ratio, and indeed it usually works out that if you're hitting the lows, you're gonna understand even better how to both get and give the highs. Essentially wisdom and smarts are 2 very separate categories, and whilst smarts can be learnt with time and effort, wisdom is further attained by your ability to empathize and your drive to inspire. Aside from all that philosophy, it's occurred to me that there's a very significant dualism to our existence, but one that is also exceptionally insignificant as a result; and vice versa. Meaning, ultimately, that it's best to just get on with it, and stuff will either happen or it won't. Murphy's Law, and all that.
