About Me

Looking for incredibly insightful looks into the human psyche or amazingly poignant quotes from historical figures? You've come to the wrong place.
"I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, okay? That's all we are" - Bill Hicks.
I'm a 24-year-old journalist/features writer from Kiama, NSW, Australia. I currentoy work for Southern Independent Publishers.
Fun Brendan-related facts-
I have a Bachelor Of Arts degree majoring in Communications and Cultural Studies and finished a Master Of Journalism degree at Wollongong Uni last year.
Nickname has been Crabby since the dawn of time. Popular variations include Crabbster, Crabbage, Crabstick and plenty more.
I've travelled to the US and Canada, the highlight of which was going to New York (CBGB fucking rocks) and then seeing Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath in Boston. I also plan to visit the UK, France, New Zealand, Germany (Wacken baby!)and more in future years. Everyone should go to New York once in their lives though!
I'm a self-confessed Metal freak. Seriously, start talking to me about it and you won't shut me up. I dig it all, with the exception of Nu Metal (not real Metal anyway) and most Doom/Goth stuff (I can't get into it, although Pod People are very cool).
Things I hate include- tomatoes, Thai/Mongolian food, rude people, allergies, "rom-coms", posers, Nu Metal, so-called "reality programs" (although "Cheaters" is a guilty pleasure), Parramatta Eels, Sydney Roosters, Lemon Coke, clueless people who respond with "Oh, like Korn, Disturbed and Slipknot?" when I tell them I listen to Metal, mainstream Hip-Hop and wannabe FuBu gangstas.
Things that make me sad- I'm still grieving over Manly's grand final loss. I wait ten years for us to make another decider and we got pumped. Not happy.
Favourite foods- Pizza, Subway.
Drinks- Bourbon and coke, JD and Coke, water, Coke (Regular and Cherry). Dr Pepper is also fantatsic, I was in heaven when I was in the US 'cause it's everywhere over there!
I love a good laugh. Some of my favourite comedians include Chris Rock, Lano And Woodley, Weird Al Yankovic, Henry Rollins (does he count?), Elliott Goblett, Brian Posehn, Bill Hicks, David Spade, Judith Lucy and Joe Matarese.
Also, be sure to check out Blastwave for killer music news, reviews and interviews, and Pyromusic Pyromusic for more of the same.
Comments? Complaints? Got something you need to get off your chest? Yes? Well rest assured that I really don't care.»-(¯'v'¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯'v'¯)-«

Children Of Bodom

What the hell is up with people calling COB a Pop group all of a sudden? Bullshit. Their cover of "Oops! I Did It Again" is awful, though.
