Most things that don't come under the genre of reality TV (which is usually ridiculously unrealistic)
*Family Guy was canceled but record DVD sales did manage to convince Fox to retain it... begs the question of why they canceled it in the first place though.
Books
If only I had something to put here...
I read a lot of non-fiction; nothing to identify myself with
Heroes
Martin Luther King, one of the most amazing people of the last century and a true proponent of justice; Also G.O.B Bluth and Inspector Rex!
About me: Whatever:
Talking about me is difficult, because I'm a modest man, but I will say this... people who know me think I'm great, and they can't all be wrong. I'm a bit of an obsessive personality, and quite a free spirit. Generally when something catches my interest I become passionate about it, but there's pretty much no telling what that something could be. I'm a science-minded person, but I'd go (more) nuts without an artistic outlet, so photography and guitar are my therapies.
Uni:
At Uni I did biomedical science, which interested me but I found research quite heavy going on mindless tasks, so I'm preparing to commence Law next year. Ultimately I want to be able to combine knowledge in science and law.
Kate Miller-Heidke bagging the crap out of OZ Idol.
Watch this and your wildest dreams will come true!
Random stuff about me:
I prefer margarine to butter, though the quality of marj' varies from brand to brand
Don't get me started on modern hip-hop. It's an baffling triumph of marketing over musicianship and a complete load of garbage
Daytime TV generally gives me the shytes but I am partial to Dr. Phil (go figure)
I would sooner sky dive than bungie jump. I think my fear of heights is limited to having a good view of the ground.
I love water sports, but hate skiing; I don't like my water frozen
My first name IS Toby, but Tobias is a more comedic name, so go ahead and use it if you prefer
My ideal holiday would be somewhere with natural beauty. Wilderness beats history any day. Favourite place so far is Canada
I lived in Italy, but learned better French than Italian while I was there
? Here I was playing around with a technique called HDR photography. The picture is of Southbank in Melbourne. I think the result is really striking. The effect can be used to weirder effect though... some good examples here.

The Lonely Island
The hilarous cult comedy!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone interested in the stuff I am!
I don't care much for celebrities, but I would make exceptions for Scarlett Johansson, Eric Johnson, Dylan Moran, Ross Noble and Tara Moss.
Current Favourite Music Videos Beck - Lost Cause Without giving too much away, this clip consists of a pyrotechnic effigy of Beck being dropped from great height, all shot on a high speed camera (for slow motion)
Fatboy Slim - The Joker Slim actually didn't make this filmclip it was submitted by a fan in an open competition. It's more than worth it for the drugged kitten scene!
Bjork - All is Full of Love Very cool effects, and a not half bad song. Basically a rehash of the age-old story of robots in love
Bjork - It's oh so quiet Okay, we all know Bjork is mental... Imagine what would happen when she teams up with director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich). Dancing letterboxes is what!
The Beastie Boys - Sabotage Kitch coolness. Apparently some sort of no-nonsense crime fighting outfit, using crime to stop crime
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
Regina Spektor - Us interesting stop motion that seems to suit the mood of the song perfectly
Primus - Mr. Krinkle You've never seen anything quite this random... gotta love that
Whats up? I found this website and thought i'd tell everyone, it shows you if anyone at school likes you... I dont know how it works but its really cool, its revealed a few people who have had crushes on me FOREVER, i called them up and it was actually true! You gotta try it!
How is it going,Toby?There's this strange thing "www.digitales.com.au" comes up when i check your space :)Anyway,i like the new design&colour.Have a great weekend
holy shit dude, pies in extra time.. we'll be rooted by next Friday I somehow have to get out of work to see that (pending ticket availability) I'm buzzing!
Hey Toby, Heard this song on Triple J today its great you should have a listen i thought you'd like it. Got to go in seach of a costume tomorrow -for the science Ball next Wednesday. The theme is out of this world so i thought id go as either a shooting star (lots of sequines- scary but fun) or a character form Mario brothers /world or a hippy but thats kind of boring! Check out this video its great Kate ..
I forgot to tell you how your photographies are beautiful ! I wondered why your pics where so "specials", easy, it's your passion ! I'd like to take some so nice pictures...
hello, hello... how are the superly awesome birthday headphones going? Good i hope. Watching the tour but need to sleep am so stuffed and still sick! Six weeks now its insane! Hows Europe i like the photos so puts some more on when you get a chance. Keep safe and have some fun! Kate
Hey Tobes. First of all, Happy Birthday! Second of all, I haven't been able to get onto your parents, however, I have managed to secure us tickets to The Police next year. Yay!!!!
Hey Tobes. The Police are coming to Melbourne next year and apparently you special MCC members get the first chance to get tickets- interested in going?
