About Me

Anyhow, I grew up in Australia, now call the US home (good old Wisconsin). I am stuck with the status of alien for the time being. I'm married and have two cool kids. I enjoy owning and tinkering on my home, specially shoveling snow. I actually don't mind the cold up here but also wouldn't mind the Aussie summers again. Back yard cricket was a favorite pastime. Golfing is about the only sport I play anymore. I tried racquet ball for the first time last year, I think that’s pretty good. I play guitar for 'Jana Holland'. It's a little bit me and a lot of my wife, Jana Holland. In the past I played for 'Ballydowse','Pet Earwig', 'Il-Tej' and 'Callous'. All falling between the categories, Punk/Hc. I miss hanging with friends and going to gigs. I guess at sometime I'll miss the years I'm living now. I don't have answers for anything, just like to bitch and moan. ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The Dalai Lama. He's good in movies and once when I lived at 66 blackwood st (the house with the couch on the roof), the Dalai lama walked down our street with a little procession of bells and incense. My house mates and I heard the little bell ringing and went out to see what the deal was barefooted and barely awake. Nobody else was there but us and the Dalai and his crew. Just a moment in time.

Movies:

I fall asleep during a lot of movies.

Television:

Books:

maps interest me more than books however I recently read "the kite runner" and enjoyed it.

Heroes:

At one time I thought Vinny Jones when he played for Sheffield Utd was a good man. I once took a picture of him to the barbershop and asked for his haircut. Nowadays I probably think Old miners or Old iron workers are pretty great. Pre OSHA when working was to risk your life.
