The decay of western civilisation, the despair of the self rightious, and watching the slow but inevitable wholsale spiral of my generation into sexually transmited infection, drug induced mental disorder, and early onset health problems such as diabeties and lung cancer.
I also take a drive some nights down to the industrial estates out the back of Rooty Hill and watch as the car theives set stolen vehicles alight.

I listen to a lot of Motorhead, Dead Kennedy’s, Anti Nowhere League, One Way System, a stack of old school punk bands, Anti-Heros, The Bruisers, The Murphies for more modern stuff.
Movies
The Liberatine,
Dusk Till Dawn,

About me: I work part time as a security guard in a music/dvd store. Previous jobs include bartending, book store assistant, bottle shops, bouncer, crowd controller, poker machine assistant and a little common labouring.
I’m an undergraduate university student currently studying at the Strathfield Campus of ACU. I’m interested in 18th/19th century English Literature (William Beckford, Percy Shelly, Lord Byron, Dickens, Thackeray, Burns, Robert Scott, Sheridan Le Fanu, in short; both the Romantics and the godless Victorians) Philosophical inquiry (Analytic and Continental as well as Renaissance and Pre-Socratic, but in particular the post Deontological schools that led to the Irrationalist movements such as Schopenhauer and Fichte ) and late 60s early 70s science fiction.
I’ve also studied phycology and consider myself somewhat of a constructivist in the early cognitive tradition. I’ve studied at length both the Freudian psychoanalytic school (disturbing as it is) and the neo-Freudian psychosocial school of Erickson, as well as developmental phycology, behaviourism, and social constructivism. (Vygotsky, Brofenbremmer, Marcia, attachment theory et al and so on)
I
I plan to become a High School English teacher, post graduation, working with violent; dysfunctional kids in the kind of schools you see in those heart warming B Grade American teen-angst gangster flicks.
I also sketch.
Who I'd like to meet: Someone else from my generation who's not brain dead from drugs, television, stuff they put in the water and mass quantaties of sugar.
Anyone who hates popular and counter culture with the same self loathing anti-social veneration for the dead as I do.
