About Me


I'm 43 and have moved around a bit. Have lived in Rome, Paris, London and now I live in Siracusa, Sicily, Italy. Not a bad place, slow, relaxed and surrounded by sea. A bit like where I was born: Geelong, Australia. I moved to Melbourne to go to Uni and, at last, started to live... not going into that now. Life stories are a bit boring. Anyone can ask me questions if they are interested...

My Interests

I listen to music, (lots)... I play guitar and sax. I go fishing alot because I have free time. I don't work much, (not interested). When I do work I travel around with music groups: travel and music, my interests meet.

I'd like to meet:

Don't know if I really want to meet anyone. I know this kind of defeats the purpose. Guess I could like to meet people who understand what I mean.

Enrico Berlinguer, un Comunista Italiano.

Thank you Enrico...

Music:

Blues and Jazz, guitar and sax... fits in. Buddy Guy, John Coltrane. Everything between MC5 to Art Ensamble of Chicago, Colman Hawkins to Dylan, Yardbirds to Archie Shepp. A bit all over the place.

Movies:

French: Rhomer/Goddard. Slash/Horror: Dario Argento (all)... Experimental: short films non narrative, home made.

Television:

Don't have one but like Family Guy, Dads Army, Get Smart, Kath and Kim. Italian Rai 3 programs. Blob, Ballaro, Anno Zero. Keep myself informed about italian/world political situations.

Books:

Philosopy: Derrida, Christorpher Norris, Rorty, Foucault: (heavy, I know).At the moment I'm reading Silvio Berlusconi: Television Power and Patrimony by Paul Ginsborg. Like Pynchon, Celine, Will Self...

Heroes:

I'm too old to have Heroes; that is, I'm a bit over that. I have alot of respect for all mentioned above except Sivio Berlusconi who is a stupid right wing cunt...Antonio Gramsci and Leonardo Sciascia are two people who I feel have perticularly illuminated me and Enrico Berlingure will forever be with me and us in The Fight...
