About Me

I'm a lazy bugger that loves music but isn't motivated enough to pick up an instrument. I choose to live vicariously through many a band. No really.I love movies and tv (I'll admit, some not so good) reading and travelI am a huge believer in making the world a better place. We have what it takes to Make Poverty History, we just have to stop talking about it and start putting it into action.I helped create an Oxfam group called ALLIES (Act, Liberate, Learn, Improve, Empower, Sustain) our goal is to put on events around Canberra that create awareness and raise funds for Oxfam and their Make Poverty History & Make Trade Fair campaigns. We put on a gig with 8 local bands and 2 from Melbourne, it was an awesome night and we'll definitely be putting on more... I also like picture books it'd be awesome to be a published author...
