About Me

Hi, my name is Adam a.k.a. the Red Baron.

I enjoy writing poetry, creative writing, singing, and playing videogames.

I like mucking around with my nunchaku, which usually results in mass destruction or injury. I'm a massive Star Wars geek and comic book eater.

I'm part of a small business venture with a few friends called Film 'n' Send . You can visit our website at http://www.filmnsend.com.au .

I'm a stickler for entertainment, so I will be putting up a lot of reviews on my blog for videogames, music, comic books, and movies.
