People making me smile at the moment
Joe
Check him out .
One of my best mates for years, keeps pestering me to get a new board (left mine in Oz). I need to be reminded how much I get out of the sport every now and then...plus I think I have a little belly forming! More skating needed asap.
Billy-Bob
My ex housemate, and more importantly my mate. I'll never be able to repay him for the amount of times he's helped me out and the amount of love he's given me. But I'll try!! If you ever need a live sound engineer (emphasis on the sound) then he's your man.
Jo Driscoll
Check him out
My boy from Brooklyn has given me so much love. Time spent with him always leaves me thirsting for music. Biggup Joey, U and I fe teach de yeut dem culture :)
Ayah
Check her out
Such a wicked mate, always the voice of positivity and support. She sings like an angel, can MC with the best of them, and she's a damn good Dj too! What more do you want :)
K-T
Check her out
One of my best mates in the world, everyone I know who knows her well counts her as such too. I don't see enough of her at all so myspace comes through yet again, woohoo!
Nyssa
Check her out
Just the coolest lady. I'd have had nothing in Sydney if it wasn't for the love and support of this one. Time spent with Nyssa is def. time spent smiling.
Sam
Check her out .
Has become one of my favourite people of late, she's totally lovely, lots of fun and wise - beyond her years and despite being an Australian :P She shouldn't be my mate but she is and I love her for it, bigX sammy
Tom Cruise
Laugh at him
He's funny is all, check the link :)
All SP
Laugh your arse off
I don't know who they are but they provide me with every South Park episode ever...streaming!Biggup!
Stuff I do
Skateboarding
Ok. Yes. I'm 27 and i still ride a skateboard at every opputunity. It may seem like a kiddy thing to do, but it's the only exercise I do really and it keeps my belly flat. That and it's taken me ten years to get any good so it would be a waste to give up on it now. God i love it...so fun.
Snowboarding
Also just so much fun! I qualified as an instructor in California when i was 18.
Cooking
I love cooking. I find it really theraputic, and there's nothing better than having some mates over and sharing food and wine...that's some primal shizzle right there.
Basketball
I haven't played enough at all for a while, but I'm always up for shooting some hoops so holla at me.
Art?
I like to draw and make stuff. I do a bit of stencil graf, there are a lot of people doing it post-Banksy but I think it's really just a pale imitation of true graf. It's really all about the ATG lot in London I reckon...those boys climb onto a lot of roofs.
Good people. People that don't deal in subtext. People who love music. People that make me laugh. People who don't give a toss about race or religion. People that don't worship money. People who like sushi. People who like rustic herbalige. People that know the value of the hug.....and smart, funny, pretty, petite, bootylicious ladies with tattoos on their backs...we usually get along really really well too :)
Too much to write here.
A tiny selection of movies I like
La Haine
http://www.sunderland.ac.uk/~os0tmc/contemp1/lahaine.htm
My favourite film. It's beautiful. The camerawork, acting, and script are astonishing. I can rewatch it endlessly and still be surprised by things in it. It is a work of art.
Rockers
http://www.rockersthemovie.com
THE best film about jamaica ever. Makes the harder they come look like an advert for the jamaican tourist board. It has everyone in it: Gregory Issacs, Burning Spear, Big Youth, Dirty Harry, etc The line where Dirty Harry locks himself in the Dj booth at the disco club, "Raamove ya! This is a take over", goes through my mind everytime I Dj...just as I put the needle on the deck.
Scarface
http://www.briandepalma.net/scarface/scar.htm
It's the best gangster movie ever made because it's real, or at least real in the time of it's setting. Being a gangster isn't really about bling and all that it's about being tougher and meaner than the other gangsters til you're the top gangster. Then it's about how long you can ride that top spot.
Shoguns Assasin or Fist of the North Star (anime, not the shitty American film)
Sometimes I'm just in the mood for severed limbs and arterial spray, know what I mean?
Groundhog day/Caddyshack/Lost in translation/Life Aquatic, etc
Bill Murray. He's so funny I don't care what film he's in, I don't care how crap the stuff around him is, as long as he's in it I'll watch it. Comic Genius.
Also: Anchorman/Borat/Cool Hand Luke/Drunken Master/Eastern Exposure 3/Fear and Loathing/Gandi/Hoop Dreams/Italian Job(the original!!!)/Jason and the Argonauts/Kids/Life of Brian/Mars Attacks/Napolean Dynamite/Oldboy/Pulp Fiction/Quadrophenia/Rabbit Proof Fence/Saving Grace/This is Spinal Tap/Usual Suspects/Videodrome/Withnail and I/X/Young Frankenstein/Zoolander (Hey kids why not try doing your own A-z of films YOU LIKE...it's harder than you think)
...is dead...long live youtube and alluc.org
Catch 22, Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland, Hopeful Monsters, all Terry Pratchett
Douglas Adams, Bill Hicks, David Attenborough
