About
I am a 33 years old male from Cabarita, which is in Victoria, Australia.I am Married.
I am 185cm tall, and of an average build - although I am working on this, for the better wink
I am White / Caucasian - originally from NE Scotland.
I label myself an Atheist although it is a tad more complicated than that smile
I have two rugrats biggrin
I am a High School Literature/English/Hummanities Teacher.
Interests:
I guess the number one interest would have to be music - whether making it or listening to it, I live and breathe it. In second place I would go with modifying cars; I have never owned an unmodified car. In third place - and I know this sounds boring - I would have to say reading and writing. I guess being creative in general is a passion and a need for me.
Some may ask why my family or Magick are not in my interests; well for me my family is a responsibility - one I love dearly - and Magick is not an interest, it is a paradigm.
I also find my job very rewarding - just as well really; as I would be bitterly disappointed if I were in it only for the money.
Music:
Everything from Classical to Death Metal; I'm not keen on Country or Ditzy Pop though. Favourites would have to be the big four original classic Metal bands; Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Pink Floyd. Then come the 80's classics; Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. My favourite Metal/Rock acts at the moment would have to be Opeth, Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom and Tool.
It's not just all heavy though. In the middle I have; Aerosmith, My Chemical Romance, Alice Cooper and Placebo.
On the lighter side I dig; Ben Harper, America, Jewel and Charlie Hunter.
Then of course there are my muso faves like; Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen and John Petrucci.
I also love Hip Hop, Rap, Techno and any other experimental electronic noise.
Movies:
I love films. Obviously Horror in all its forms would be top of the list; Action next (especially Martial Arts orientated); then some Art House/Foreign; and finally Asian Animated.
Long time favourites would be: the Nightmare series; the Halloween series; The Star Wars series; the Omen series; the Exorcist; the Shining; early Steven Segal; the Lord of the Rings full trilogy; and an unforgettable classic - The Fog (original).
Movies that have really surprised me, in a good way, are: Vanishing Point (original), Dazed an Confused, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
I could go on forever ...but I won't.
People I'd like to meet:
Most of the people I would like to meet are dead unfortunately. Let's see: Aleister Crowley would have to be at the top of the list; Israel Regardie would come a close second; Eliphas Levi an obvious third; then we have Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Dr. John Dee, Samuel Liddel MacGregor Mathers, Arthur Edward Waite, and William Wynn Westcott - there's a bit of a common thread here. I have been in contact with many contemporaries in this field; this is why they are not on this list.
As for musicians: Jimmy Page is top of the list; Steve Vai second; then probably Ben Harper. Hey, these three are actually still alive. There are many other musicians I would like to meet but these would have to be my long term ones.
There are also many writers I would like to meet, but my top three there are dead too; Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn Rand and William Wordsworth. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Abraham Stoker and Allen Ginsberg would be very worth a look too, but they are dead also.
Books:
Anything and everything by Crowley, as well as all the other Magickians and authors I have mentioned. As far as fiction goes, I really like Steven King, Anne Rice and Dennis Wheatley. Surprisingly, teenage fiction also really interests me (just as well I guess being in my line of work), the Harry Potter series rocks, as do the film adaptations.
