I am a man you don't meet, an excellent friend, and a tinkerer.

My Self-Summary

Dabbler, dilettante, jack of all trades, master of none - probably my best asset but also the biggest criticism you could point at me.

And i REALLY hate writing about myself.

In summary: I'm friggin' awesome, ask anyone who knows me. Seriously, come take the Pepsi challenge.

I rule.

What I’m doing with my life

Wasting it, apparently.

I am playing bartender in America instead of growing up.
update 24/11
I am currently on the road - now in New Orleans - for a few more days before road tripping along the Florida coastline to Naples til easter, and then probably to Miami/Ft.Liquordale, and maybe over to the Bahamas, after that who knows. I still have to get to London and Europe at some stage, and then eventually home to Australia.

but from an objective view i look at it this way - i maintain a job, as well as own my own business, provide employment for americans, work with a charitable organisation, and pay my bills on time, even though *i* am the alien here. So perhaps i am not doing too bad.

I’m really good at

I seem to end up being good at just about anything i apply myself too. I have had a pretty broad formal and informal education, so i can figure out whatever i need to to look like i know what i am doing. I find that's usually enough until i have the time to work out what i am actually supposed to be doing.

I seem to have some unusual mutant powers as well, which crop up at interesting times. Sadly there is no yellow spandex in my future as neither the Justice League, the X-Men, nor the Avengers have returned my calls.

I am also good at collecting people - not like a big game hunter, there's no heads on my walls or skins on the floor (or lampshades), more like a naturalist - i generally like to observe them in their natural environments, but i am not quite restrained enough to completely observe the prime directive.

The first things people usually notice about me

Round these parts the first thing people notice is that i talk funny.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Will read just about anything, will watch just about anything. Can ignore most any music no matter how loud it is played so long as i can focus my will. But to conform here...

Books: Dan Brown's airport reading matter, Dopeland (and anything else by) John Birmingham, Bernard Cromwell's Arthurian retelling, Monkey - Wu Ch'Eng En, Preacher - Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. I like bios, history and historical fiction.

Movies: Any Ken Branagh Shakespeare, Naked, Confidence, Croupier, an embarrassing collection of b-grade romantic comedies. Will watch Jennifer Connelly, Rachel Weisz, Clive Owen, or Ed Norton do just about anything.

Music: Euro-pseudo-techno-girl-pop - if your fifteen year old sister liked it, i probably do too. Eighties music. Aussie Rock. Folk / Acoustic music.

Food: Dead Animals mostly, but i will eat salads. Not a fan of seafood so far from the ocean, but at the shore gimme a rod and a reel and i'll get dinner.

The six things I could never do without

I don't think there are six things. i am not even sure there is more than one. Everything i thought was important to me before has slipped from my grasp or i have been forced to let go.

Film making, my blog, tabletop gaming, cricket, the loves of my life, fish keeping. All former cornerstones of my being (clearly i am hexagonal) are neglected, left behind, let-go, taken from me by cruel circumstance, economics, and the tyranny of distance.

There's probably nothing that i could do without except my liberty.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Getting the hell out of Dallas and moving back to the beach

I also spend time plotting the demise of governments, businesses, state agencies, cults, religious figures, my friends, the minipins next door (the alsatian and i have come to terms), and the herd of cats up the road. I have stopped plotting my own demise, preferring to "wing it" when i get to that.

On a typical Friday night I am

I used to be working, but since i have rearranged my roster i'm probably watching footy and drinking, or playing games and drinking, or out somewhere doing something drinking. I'm really not a drunk (i don't go to meetings) but i did get an AA token once by trading for free shots, in what i consider perhaps one of my finest moments. There is no other way i could have got one of those tokens. And they were already in the bar drinking. I just gave them free drinks. So it really wasn't my fault.

I will probably be back on shift somewhere by the time anyone sends me a message.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Stage fright. Crippling. Which is stupid because i frequently draw focus to myself, and people think i *like* the attention. Made my training and intermittent career as an actor entertaining.

You should message me if

* you don't act like a hooker 100% of the time (up to 75%) is acceptable.
* you want to meet me
* you want to meet the oddest collection of friends
* you like madcap schemes and shenanigans.
* you can appreciate good beer.

* if you feel like it.

* i'm bored entertain me.
