Hello everyone and welcome to my little corner of the web. This being my very first Blog entry ever, I’m at a bit of a loss on what to talk about, so I may keep it short (besides the fact that it’s late). First and foremost though I suppose an introduction is in order…
My name is Mike and I’m 30 years old (man that hurts to say…). I live in the stunning Blue Mountains in NSW Australia with my lovely wife Lisa and our 6 1/2 month old daughter Madison (hense the Dad portion of Acoustic Dad).
I currently work as the administrator and support person of a international web-application, where I’ve been for the last 3 years. At this stage I’d best leave out the name of the app, as I’m not sure if I’m meant to be plastering it all over the internet…though it is a web-app I suppose, which by definition means it is already plastered all over the net…but that’s splitting hairs at this stage.
In my off-time my passion is music – hense the Acoustic portion of Acoustic Dad. Given the fact that two of the biggest joys in my life come from being a Dad and a muso, the decision of what to call this site was a no-brainer. I’ve got quite a lot of more information about my musical escapades on my website, so I encourage you to take a look. There are several MP3’s you can download, along with some poetry I’ve written. If you do end up visiting, be sure to drop me a line.
I’m also quite politically minded, so you will inevitably hear some rants and raves about that from time to time – particularly anytime George Dubya opens his immensely vast yap (I’m not one of his biggest fans in case you couldn’t tell)! Come to think of it, that’s another reason why I shouldn’t tell you what project I work on – lest my big mouth get’s me in trouble!
Truth be told, I’m a recovering American…there, I’ve said it. So despite the fact that I’ve lived in Australia for the last several years I haven’t quite learned to ignore the political scene over there….though with someone like Georgie running the Yanks can you blame me? Fortunately we’ve got ol’ Johnny Howard and his crack-pot Liberals to re-capture my attention…what was I saying about ranting? Oh yes…well anyway you get the picture – more on that topic another day I’m sure.
At any rate, it’s getting late and I’ve probably said enough for one day. I hope I’ll get a chance to chat with some of you as time goes by…
