About Me

I am a music nerd.
There. It's out in the open, I've said it.
I love freshly mowed lawns, I don't like Hard House and I think Promite is the devils condiment. I'm shitscared of going on boats but I think flying is fantastic. I wish I was a ninja. I have a soft spot for getting drunk and singing a "special" Lady In Red/Heart of Glass medley (bigup DZA!). I like cars just enough to be an enthusiast but not quite enough to be a wanker. The Toyota AE86 makes me want to do a sex wee and I enjoy all things dorifuto. I would be happy to eat nothing but curries for the rest of my life. Beer is fantastic, although I like my spirits too. I grew up in Salisbury and have lived north of the city my whole life; I make no apologies for any bogan-like qualities I posses. White wine is OK, I prefer my reds though. I used to breakdance as a kid, back when my bones were nice and soft. I like trainers, especially Air Force 1s and Reebok Classics, although I'm not a chav. Spring is good, autumn is bearable, winter is a bit shit. I like summer and the opressive Australian heat that it brings. I can trace every friend I have back to the chance meeting of Matthew on the 229 ten years ago. The Pie-floater is the best thing ever to come out of Adelaide. I'm broke. I worship Tsuchiya Keiichi with Nomuken and Orido close behind. Apparently I have a "dance" that I do when I'm on stage. My first concert was either Bon Jovi or Def Leppard when I was about 9 with my best mate Rabbih. I still don't know how we managed to get in. I am so not below drinking goon from the bladder. My brain seems to be the most creative between 7:30pm and 5:00am. Insects are cool with me, but I can't fucking stand cockroaches. Yes Dan the Automator, I want to buy a monkey. I love huge parties but I still get uneasy around big crowds. My mates know a hell of a lot about me but I still keep a lot to myself. I absolutely love the smell of a freshly cut dubplate, mmm laquer. I believe Reinforced was THE greatest Drum & Bass label of all time. I still think farts are funny. I have this wierd balance of being confident and incdredibly uncomfortable. When I dance it's usually some cheesy dancehall steps like the Bogle Bogle, Give Dem A Run, Parachute, Armstrong or if I'm absolutely feeling it, the Cool & Deadly. I REALLY want to visit Ninjamura. When I was a kid I used to be completely obsessed with Ranma 1/2, Project A-Ko (though I didn't get half the references) and Gundam Wing while these days it's a steady diet of Initial D, FLCL and Samurai Champloo. I'm on xMike quite a bit these days, although my postwhore habits of the old Adelaide Massive/SA Jungle sites are long over. I write, my favouraite paint is Belton and Ironlak and I won't tell you what I put up.
Rember, as a Junglist it's your duty to head to the Cumberland on Wednesday nights. Proper liquid vibes and rollers all night with myself and the handsome Mr Stryke with guests psasing through every week. And Mark 7 (big up 5158 massive) cause he's persistant like that. The kitchen is still smashing it, and we got $4 pints of Pale from ..er ..some time till some time, and 2 for 1 scotch and vodka from 9 till 11. Seeeen!
Will that do? =)
Free Diz!
