Personal
- About me
I am a Melbourne based queer male activist...I will be 23 in August so I am relatively young in comparison to many others however I have been politically active for the last 10 years...was taken to rallies when I was younger.
I dropped out of my Bachelor of Arts degree at Monash and resumed study this year at TAFE and I hope to go into community development later on...
As much as I don't like sport I appreciate the idea of teams working together so soccer/football is my thing.
I am currently working on a series of collage pieces...I need some bloody canvases to complete them though. The themes are mostly queer, anti-capitalist, pink dollar consumerism etc...
I like playing Pool to pass time when I cannot be bothered doing anything else or if I want to unwind...etc

- I love music...I like to think that I have an eclectic taste: Ska (60s/70s), Rocksteady, Punk, Hip-Hop, Soul, Blues, Jazz, 60s/70s rock, electronic (techno, electro, hardstyle, trance...etc), Classical...etc
- Dislikes
- Any ideology that limits the freedoms of people by use of the state., Queerphobia, Commercialised pop music, MTV (Die Die Die), Hipsters (the ones we have today...bunch of wankers), Big business, The mainstream Music Industry, Police, Racists (Boneheads included...they give Skinheads a bad name to those that don't know the difference), There are probably more but I am not going to list them otherwise I would need pages upon pages.

- What do your politics mean to you?
My politics shape the way I form and reinforce my opinions be they on personal issues or local and global issues.
Politics is more or less what I spend most of my time and art dedicated to and I am a fan of being an agitator in not so radical environments...I like to stir things up sometimes...
- Favourite thinkers
- Anybody who can think independently should have as much recognition as the ones we put up on the proverbial pedestals., I am a thinker as much as Kropotkin, Bakunin, Goldman, (dare is say it) Marx, Chomsky...etc
- Favourite political books
- That's Revolting: Queer Strategies on Resisting Assimilation edited by Matilda Berstein Sycamore this is one of them but there are a few others that I cannont be bothered naming now.
