About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To try everything at least twice before I die

ABOUT ME

Just a small-town boy... Livin' in a pretty awesome world!

So I came from a town in Australia not much larger than a couple of houses and farms off a freeway. Since then I've made my way around the world a couple of times and have never ceased to meet awesome people.

My travels are temporarily on hold, so in the hope of one day returning to the greater world and crashing all sorts of people's couches I am offering my own to be surfed in the interim.

PHILOSOPHY

It's 10% what happens and 90% how you look at it. - (not sure where this quote came from... Dale Carnegie maybe?)

Interests

Guitar probably goes towards the top of this list.

I'm very serious about my career, which mainly means university right now, but luckily for all you couch surfers, that interest ranks slightly lower than beer... so I am pretty easily persuaded by a good time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Seems to me that my mind is enough inclined towards the MTV generation that my attention span is too short to enjoy some of the classics that everybody goes on about, yet I don't seem to have suffered enough brain damage to be able to enjoy most of the new movies... yet.
So when I find a movie or a show that I like, I generally just watch it over and over. (e.g. south park).

I read a lot of Biographies.
