ABOUT ME

havent travlled much overseas yet but hope to in the future. did live in New Guinea as a kid tho and have been to london etc but would like to one day travel some more

have had an interesting and unusual life up until now ;-)

have checked out different scenes and subcultures over the years and seen life from all sorts of different angles.

always have been attracted to things that aren't mainstream and that challenge societies norms. don't ask me why "i was born this way" as quoted by some popstar somewhere...

i quite like getting outdoors; anything outdoors really

but also like:

road trips
cats
books/reading
music (esp black metal)
tattoos
getting involved with animal welfare/rights issues
cats
rock climbing
tramping
talking politics (!!!!!!)

PHILOSOPHY

umm hard to put into words

kind of inline with buddhist beliefs i spose?!

material wealth or possessions do not interest me...so dont try and impress me with your bling as it won't work :P

Im really not into rules, dogma, rigid beliefs, stereotypes and all the rest.

I threw the rulebook out the window years ago. i think for myself and i take people as i find them

To quote Lemmy from Motorhead:

"born to lose...

...live to win"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i think when i saw two whales while on the boat, The Monarch, a few winters ago was an absolutely awesome experience.

it was the middle of winter, the sea was up and it was bitterly cold.

we spotted to Southern Right Whales blowing spouts and followed them. I was spellbound
