Go Sell Crazy Somewhere Else, I’m All Full Up.
I'm here for a good time, and I hope for a long time. I'm from NZ originally, I moved to Australia at 18. I've lived on small tropical islands on the Great Barrier Reef and in Vanuatu as well as on Rottnest Island (Rotto) on and off for 11 years. I did a lot of things for the first time at Rotto (good and bad).
Here are some places I've lived in, travelled to or want to.
I've worked skippering charter boats, I've been a Marine Ranger and a SCUBA Diving Instructor as well as a few years doing security at a pub and am now a Safety & Training Coordinator for a mining company.
I’ve broken a few hearts in my time but the last few years it’s all come back on me, I’ve been in love a couple of times and I've had my heart ripped out a few times too.
Being a sucker for punishment, and the fact that I love woman too much, I'm sure I'll give at least one more my heart on a platter, I hope this one looks after it.
My world took a sudden change in August 2005. My parents called me from Vietnam to tell me my brother had taken his life in Melbourne. I had to go to Melbourne to sort his stuff out and arrange to take him back to NZ. Luckily one of my best mates come to Melbourne to give me support, I’ll never be able to repay him for that, without him, I wouldn’t have managed. My friends are my world. My brother left 2 beautiful kids behind. It's all just so, so sad. I enjoy a good joke and love to laugh. I haven’t laughed much the last 18 months and I’ve missed it so much, but I am laughing a little more as time goes on.
If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

My Interests



I love being outdoors, doesn't really matter why. I love spending time in my garden, there’s nothing better than watching something grow into the best it can be, it's also when I do a lot of pondering about life.
I've just bought myself a 4WD, I'm getting my camping gear together and plan to get away out of town a bit. Just chillin out.

I love photography, I should do more of it but.... I have a few excuses but I just need to get out and do it. I would love to get into glamour/fashion photography, if only I knew where to start. I need a couple of models if anyone’s keen (any takers???)

I use to be a SCUBA instructor and skipper boats, I don't do much of either at the moment but still love being near, in, on or under the water. I've lived in some fantastic places and dived some of the best sites in the world, I guess that spoils you a bit.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that has a brain and can think for themselves, they MUST have some opinions of their own about life, love etc.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

The hardest part isn't finding what we need to be, It's being content with who we are.

I’m happy chatting about anything at all, real or pretend, deep or shallow, happy and sad, naughty & nice.

I haven't got time for freaks and weirdos, you can think what ever you like and tell everyone how good your world is because of it, but don’t push your crazy shit on me, go sell crazy somewhere else, I’m all full up.

Music:

Check out what's on my MP3 player above. This is some of what I'm enjoying at the moment.

Movies:

I love most types of movies, action, drama, I love a great comedy. Well done docco's get a watch, and the odd tear jerker's hard to bet occasionally.

Television:



The Chasers War On Everything is a great show.

Books:

I own a lot more than I've read, depends what I'm needing at the time.

Heroes:

Peter Blake, a man who wanted to save the so much and was killed for so little.
