I live in Enmore, Inner West Sydney. It's one of the most diverse areas. It's next to Newtown which is know for it's vibrant culture.

Having been a member for so long, CS has changed a lot.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming WHOA WHAT A RIDE! Hunter S Thompson.

One of my surfers shared her experience with me on her travel blog. It's nice to be part of her story. https://youtu.be/vvcf9-IhpJ0?si=TPFFPW7ts9X-Ajk9

ABOUT ME
Neurodiverse, I retain a lot of trivial information about many things. I've watched a lot of films and documentaries, listened to a lot of music, smoked a lot of weed, partied on illicit substances and still do. I dont take life too seriously but I like to know what serious things are going on in the world. Best be prepared.

I work as a creative artist, DJ on vinyl, build custom motorcycles, love people watching, we humans are such bizarre creatures.
I really enjoy learning about different cultures and hearing others stories.

I'm an Australian, born and bred in Sydney. In 2004 i decided to make the most of my British passport and get a one way ticket to London and see what happens. I stayed for 15 years, until the global turmoil in 2020 when I decided to return.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born! How amazing is that?
I saw someone flick a cigarette onto the floor in a nightclub once and after it bounced it landed standing up as if someone had placed it there very carefully. I think thats something i will never see again in my life. If that happened in The Matrix, it would have caused a glitch and we would have all been sucked into a black hole. Thankfully i wasn't on acid at that time or it could have really happened! Or maybe too bad i wasn't as it would have been more fun than what was going on in the club.
Also, I got a last minute free ticket for the premiere of Django Unchained. Walking the red carpet with Tarantino, Jackson, Waltz and Foxx was quite an honor but the best part was watching the new Tarantino movie in the same cinema with Tarantino. Best start to a year EVER!.
