About Me:
It was a dark and stormy night.... Cliches are hard to avoid in these things and it is almost impossible not to cringe when you write it... I have been away from New Zealand for a few years now... living and traveling around the world. Spent 3 years in Europe... and now almost 4 years in Asia. Have pointless ambitions at various stages to be a best selling mysterious novelist in New York, a hip screenwriter out of LA, a star/writer of a quirky cable sitcom, a stuntman, a firefighter in Australia, a salty sailor sailing the seven seas supplementing my income by chartering my yacht, an upper class English twit with a ready quip and a champagne glass at the ready. Next year I am acknowledging the failure of all these endeavours and going home to do post grad studies.

Who I Want to Meet:
I don't really know who I want to meet... After traveling for so long I am accustomed to making friends with a wide variety of different people. My main prerequisite for a friend is someone who can make me laugh...

generation. The mystic and the poet.
Phil's the every man. As at home on a
park bench as he is in the Park Royal.
Not too proud to drink Chingdao in a
sleazy Shenzhen night club, but equally
comfortable sipping Dry Vodka Martinis
at an East Village gallery opening.
Mercurial and relentless on the
basketball court yet tender and nurturing
in the classroom. I'd pick Phil first on my
team every time. Aroha nui bro.
Phil. Just thinking about him makes me
laugh. We shared some really
memorable times, drunken nights lost in
Guangzhou, lost in the Tibetan
mountains, sleeping on grass mats in a
hut shared by 3 peasant Chinese
families with babies crawling over us as
we slept in the middle the Xishuanbana
countryside, spotting Chinese people
who look like Western celebrities (eg,
the Chinese George Clooney), arm in
arm singing the pogues 'fairytale of
New York' after a night on the Qingdao
beers, a spontaneous15 km country
walk in the middle of the night, these
are just some of the crazy and fun filled
explorations we shared together and
there's many more to come. I'll always
have time to read Phil's unique writing,
and listen to his ranting and rambling
and his insights into this thing called life.
Cheers bro!
He loves to win.
front door down because I'd forgotten
my keys. I think of him as my Chinese
father, and I am his "bastard, lazy,
comes-home-at-all-hours-of-the-night-
covered-in-vomit-and-sleeps-in-the-
bathroom, good-for-nothing American
son. He clothes and feeds me,
provides a couch on which to live, and
lends as much life/career advice as I
can handle. Once at a disco he went on
a rampage through the dance floor,
sending 4'7, 95 lb Asian men flying
through the air in all directions. Too
fearful to retaliate against him directly,
the dancing mob turned on me and I
suddenly found myself sailing over my
father's head in the direction of the DJ's
booth. Simultaneously a writer (the
great NZ novel coming up...), athlete
("the great white fouler, they call him in
China), poet ("How much do I hate
teaching thee... Let me count the
ways...), party man (5 pitchers, my
good man), and genuine, caring friend, I
consider myself truly lucky to have
