About Me

I'm a creative guy:
For over a decade i've worked in the welfare/social justice and arts communities across a range of capacities from artist, project manager to childrens rights advocate. I'm now completing a Bachelor Degree in Business... i'm working on building the required ego for a career in advertising, it's a slow process... but i'm getting closer with each day
As a child, i lived in places like this:
Which i blame for some of my quirkier attitudes points of view
I met this guy when i was just a young fellow, he inspired me to show love and respect to all people:
everything else up until meeting my great love, Rachel, just isn't worth mentioning:
except maybe a little fun painting on stuff occasionally (check out my pics).

I did a cheesey questionaire, this is what they said about me:
You Are 77% Grown Up, 23% Kid
.. Congratulations, you are definitely quite emotionally mature.
Although you have your moments of moodiness, you're usually stable and level headed. How Emotionally Mature Are You? I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Take the quiz:
How much do you hate Bush?

AMAZING
You rule, I despise Bush as much as you do. You understand how dimwitted he is and much of an opinionated dick head he is. Thank you for making America a better place.. even though it sucks anyway.
