Bottles. Only cheap piss is sold is cans here anyway.

Dying over some arbitrarily based borders doesn't seem like my idea of fun. I refuse to put myself in the way of someone's projection of power simply for the pursuit of some ideology that is supposedly better than another. I like where I live, but just because that guy over there doesn't like...

Robben is my favourite player, but I still think Messi is more consistent, with better balance and a better finish. I'd add that he's a better team player too. Messi may play well in a good team, but Robben wasn't nearly as successful in a championship winning team at Chelsea and even PSV...

I honestly haven't heard it for 8 years or more. Hardly overplayed to my mind.

Call of Duty 4 and Call of Juarez 2 are two games I just keep coming back to. I still have a great love for Shadows of the Empire on N64. 1996 release I believe. 15 years? Still a good game, although the blockiness throws me a bit now. Edit: Rogue Squadron for 64. Spent hours playing that...

L1: English L2: Japanese I'm relatively fluent in Japanese. Spent a year in the damn country with the express purpose to gain conversational competency. I've done a semester of Korean as well, so I can speak basic bit and pieces. Although, I'm sure I'd be able to pick it up again and get...

Currently reading through Greg Graffin's half autobiography, half paper on evolutionary theory, by the name of Anarchy Evolution. It's quite engrossing, but it appeals to my interests so it makes sense. He has some very interesting ideas on evolution and religion that is changing my ideas on the...

I'm a big fan of Weisse beer, and the Trappists do a good version of it too. The Chimay white is a personal favourite of mine. Erdinger, for a popular beer, do quite a good Weissbier too. Had quite a few nice Belgian beers a few weeks back, can't remember exactly what they were off the top...

Espresso coffee. I had an early night, but still my morning coffee. I'm keeping of the turps for a while.

Well, I don't believe people are intrinsically good, and very few try to be altruistic even in the simplest sense. It's the natural instinct for greed and the unbelievable ignorance that abounds that really makes me question my faith in humanity. That being said, people are entitled to their...

The music does it to me all the time. First few times I watched it, heard the music, started to well up. I honestly think it was a good selection. Plus, as a dog owner myself, it touched quite close to home.

Rubber. Absolutely hilarious movie based upon a psychokinetic, serial killing, rubber tire. It's possibly the most absurd and most fantastic thing I have ever seen.

I'm pretty sure if the local authorities saw snow, they wouldn't have a frigging clue what to do, and i'm pretty sure by that time the world would have stopped turning. Being from Queensland gives you a guarantee of no snow in the state, ever. If it does, I'm having frigging snow cones.

I like public transport. Train really gives me a great vibe for some reason. I love having that space between point a and b where you have no control over the time you get there. It's a nice feeling that I use to read in or do some writing. Love trains. Buses don't give the same feeling, but...

I'm a cynic. Name came around when I was studying Ancient Greece in high school. Other such Grecoafied words involved 'testikles' and 'impossibles'
