About Me

Not much to say really... See I can't even get any pics up here...that's soooo not a good sign...

My Interests

Sport, music, sneakers, graf, material culture and its role in mediating relationships and social structures, running a lot...

I'd like to meet:

I'm not picky...anyone with a sloth as a pet would be cool though...I'd love to hang out with a sloth and just kick back...sloths are dope...

Music:

Toooooooo much, um, I can't list it all..hip hop, funk, soul, trance, rock, jazz...and on and on (oh and some very embarassing tunes whcih I only admit to owning when tortured...or drunk)Special shouts to DJ Sheep and Josie Styles for their fine guidance...

Movies:

Hoop Dreams, One plus one, Scratch, Vinyl, and this one really corny, dodgy one about Steve Prefontaine which I'm sure only tragic runners have seen....and it does feature sneakers...the first waffle soles...

Television:

League of Gentlemen, Black Books, and I did really used to like Astro boy and um, cities of gold, the Goodies, etc...but maybe I'm just showing my age....

Books:

You know, I really can't think off much....oh "the Graffiti Subculture: Youth, masuclinity and identity in London and New York", my sneaker encyclopedia, and the article "Throwing Like a Girl" by Iris Marion Young...everyone should read that-sport, gender and existential phenomenology all combine in one easy to read article!what more could you want?????

Heroes:

ummmmmmmmmmm...I'm not going to jump on some feelgood bandwagon and mention some highprofile person...Bono and Angelina can get back to saving the world..ahahaa So I'm going to say Loyd Way and Bill Sole for their years of dedication to Queensland Secondary Schools Sport and for their hugs! Pat Clohessy for his coaching efforts and his comforting "run for form" catchphrase, Leonn Sattertwait for sticking up for the Anth dept at Uni and Marg Henderson for showing that you can kick ass athletically and intellectually...
