I'm a friendly young man from Southport on the Gold Coast.
I write for a living, it's about as commercial a job as you can get, but hey, it's a means to put pen to paper... Or finger to keyboard, more accurately. .

I like to impress musically retarded folk with my barely average guitar and vocal ability. I love to surf and wish I had the money to support my unconventional and retro board collection. I used to be fit, now my clothes are struggling to. I have much love for my family, friends and those that are friendly. I also have a deep affection for music. I have an ability to find an element of good in most things.

I'm Yaki.
