Check me out (go on, I dare ya!)

About Me

Fun-loving Kiwi guy keen to meet a few new people. My ultimate goal is to be a screen writer. I'm not in any hurry though - the film industry here's so small it would take years to have any success; at least my perception.I'm at home a lot on this when I'm not working, but that doesn't mean I don't like to get about - in fact travel runs in my blood.

My Interests

Am a long-suffering NZ cricket supporter. Not as passionate about rugby but do follow the ABs. I play tennis and badminton and do a lot of running to keep fitness up. Many people say running sucks but I love it while listening to my favourite songs

I'd like to meet:

Interesting and exciting people, especially those who like reading my blogs! If you read them you may get the impression I'm opinionated. But that's all good as I'd love to read your feedback!Actually most people I come across here I'll probably never meet, so I guess the word 'meet' would be used strictly in the cyber sense. Of course if it's refering to famous people then...hmmm, let's see...Michael Moore, Al Gore, David Letterman, Steve Carrell, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Matt Groening, Russell Crowe, Richard Hammond, Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer.Oh, and Miss Lucy from the House and Travel ad. She's the sort of woman I'd want to marry. (Although those Flight Centre chicks aren't half bad either)
