I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I love helicopters. I love the busyness of the streets of Paris and London, yet the solitude of an Australian beach all to myself. Strip malls make me depressed. I find it amusing to dine with the posh and their wine, yet I'll eat from the streetmarkets of Copa Cobana Beach, Brazil. I like to spend a lot of time with one really good friend, yet not miss the party. Mother Theresa was a good woman. Audrey Hepburn was unbelievable. Audrey Tautou is Christmas. My wife is better.

My Interests

i love meeting new people in other countries.....and then meeting them in another country from where i met them(huh?) stopping at a cafe in London to write whats in the wonder of my head. drawing the random inspirations i get. european beer. ciga-cigars. the smell of my pipe. that little crack-in-the-rock swimming hole the boys found around the cliffs of bar beach, australia. my mum's cheese cake. & her sweet iced tea with lemon. my wife's sweet potato dish. a candle. a waterfall. ray bans. sushi and wine. dancing with my guitar named bride. red wine from hawke's bay. the hot springs somewhere in between auckland and hastings new zealand. screaming in a microphone. a beautiful lady thats caught my heart and attention. and learning about this hauntingly beautiful thing called love, and all its mystery

Books:

I like to read. But a book has to grab my heart and soul within the first or second chapter before i go any further. "Girlfriend In A Coma", by Douglas Coupland, "On The Road" & "The Dharma Bums", by Jack Kerouac, have been the latest to do so. I recommend these.

Heroes:

old pot-bellied cigar/pipe-smoking men who stare off iinto the horizon content as if everything they've wanted to do in life has been done.
