About Me

I love music (in particular Metal). I believe music makes any situation better, so I try to listen to music whenever I can. When I'm on the computer, as I'm going to bed, at work, in the car, and so on. I'm not religious, but I listen to music religiously. :)
Here's what I've been listening to recently:
My most listened to artists last week were:

I use instant messaging...
ICQ (13297489), MSN ([email protected]), Yahoo! Messenger (darksoulseed).
I am currently studying Bachelor of Communication Design and I've previously completed a Diploma of Multimedia. So naturally, I'm a designer with my own freelance business, Griff Design . I love drawing, sketching, designing... Mostly obscure stuff, logos, weird shit in general. Check out some of my stuff on my deviant art page. Here's a preview:
I am keen on technology in general, and playing PC games, mostly first person shooters. In no particular order: Unreal Tournament, Ultimate Spider-Man, Max Payne, Aliens Vs. Predator 2, The Neverhood and heaps more.
I was born in Hong Kong, but have lived all but three years of my life in Melbourne, Australia. Out of those other three years, the first was in Hong Kong , then in 1991 I lived in Tullah, Tasmania and in 2003 I lived in Chetwynd, Canada . I miss the snow! I built three awesome snow-forts in the space of one year.
My Links:

I also have other photos on My MSN Space , which you can watch with a slide show! Nifty!

My Interests

Oh and I have a thing for mints. Yeah, confectionary mints. I run this web site: The Mint Report .
