My two favourite interests are music and art. I have an internet radio station "Anarchy on the Net" which features all things punk, alternative and generally anarchic.

Painting and drawing, discovering new music...reading, watching a good video or dvd and record collecting.  Things I love include cats, chocolate, a good vodka martini, some of the great friends I have made and sleeping in!  Things I totally dislike include all the big one's - sexism, racism, poverty, environmental degredation, world hunger etc. etc.  However, a lot of small things also piss me off!  Shopping malls, mobile phones, living in Canberra and Canberra winters, red-necks, misogynists, homophobes, born-again christians, stupid people, rap music, loud "doof-doof" car stereos, people who go on about "EMO" God who cares!...I'm enjoying this....let's see what else...people who talk about their kids all the time, bad restaurant food, phone sex adds on television, ditto spam for viagra and penile extensions, George Bush and his horrible governments policies which have made the world a more dangerous place, The Taliban - a curse upon you!, people with large, scary dogs who don't leash them, most televsion, most movies.  That'll do for now...
