About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

A bit crazy a bit deep but live on the surface not like some of the bottom feeders I've come across in my time. Constantly dabbling in all areas,themes and differing media to make art and question my world. All in all I'm a just a man that is living his life and trying hard not just to exsist.....but make some difference

My Interests

I am interested in the contents of the world and what makes it spin. Anything that I can learn from. Making and viewing Art, Music for pleasure. I tend to like the smaller things and like to search out and discover. I was once told by a wise person that an interesting failure was better than a boring success and I tend to agree.

I'd like to meet:

People who understand that life is a two way street and the traffic can sometimes be heavy, creative, adventurous and a little crazy but not dangerous if you know what I mean. If you ask to be added and I agree that's all good, however, if you don't communicate within a few days I figure you are not that interested and so I will delete, no hard feelings, I'm not a collector of profiles for the sake of whatever.....

Music:

Bjork, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, Flaming Lips, Foo Fighters, Placebo, Pixies, PJ Harvey,Mick Harvey, Cruel Sea, Tom Waits, Strokes, Iggy, White Stripes, Morphine,Ween, Magic Dirt, Butthole Surfers, Wall of Voodoo, Stan Ridgeway, Concrete Blonde, Tindersticks, Stranglers, Garbage are a few of my favorite things.

Movies:

Something with substance and a message that gets me thinking long after the credits have disappeared. Bill Murray has done some interesting work of late. Broken Flowers, Lost in Translation and his appearance in Coffee and Cigarettes where enjoyable. Anything by Ken Loach or Wim Wenders appeals to me. Laughed at Bad Santa and Shaun of the Dead. Last cinema experiences were, Trans America, Candy and Jindabyne.

Television:

Not to fussed and don't bother as a time filler. Mainly ABC, SBS docos etc. Mythbusters, Chasers war on everything, IT Crowd, The Office, Extras, Glasshouse, Spicks and Specks, My name is Earl can often give me a much needed belly laugh. Special series that crop up like the artist one with Rolf Harris?? oh I did enjoy the test pattern as a child.

Books:

Not enough in this department. Liked Samuel Beckett, Artist Bio's. Can often find myself sprawled on the lounge skimming the dictionary.

Heroes:

People who don't follow the majority because it's easier,people who put it on the line when it counts, independent thinkers, my kids, my parents, people that do as they say and say what they do without fear of what the world thinks of them.
