Welcome/I am sorry

When I was younger, much younger than today... God what a cliched start.
The worst thing I was told you can do when speaking to people you don't know for the first time is to apologise. 

So...partly cause I'm a non-conformist, and partly cause I'm insufferable.

Sorry
If:-
-You've already had to deal with my shortening by the second attention span previously
-Disagree with or take major offence to anything I say
-Or if you don’t understand my writing, mien english ist fein. (Ich bin nicht deutsch)

If You can't deal with this, in the nicest possible I guess the undertone of what I’m trying to say is, to be honest, I couldn’t really give two shits about your difficulites regarding any of the above, so deal with it.

To introduce myself mi nombre es Tim or Benim adım Tim
the tjr screen name consists of my other initials (creative I know) of which I’m not telling you, mainly because as much as I’m an open person in just about every single way I can think of, this is just simply not one of those ways.
Plus it creates a kind of mystery don’t you think...? No. Ok, I thought not either.

By day I study design arts, have a semi practical Film & TV degree before that, work professionally "On Paper" doing various things including music, copywriting, production shenanigans, advertising & marketing tripe and by far the worse of them all, god awful free lance writing.
By night, I tire immensely of all of those at different points which has something to do with why I'm dropping major amounts of acid painting myself fuchsia and planning on listening to Pink Floyd writing now. 

At this point in my mind this blog is mainly an outlet for everything that I want to say to some and do say repeatedly in frustration to others, and despite filtering out the words fuck and cunt when getting my point across, others still do not deem appropriate. Oh yeah I should mention I don’t curse like a sailor, but like most Australians swearing is mainly a way of life and when used correctly is completely for comedic effect.
Unless you spill their drink.

I’m Australian yes, that’s right you heard it here first. Even though I have a dual citizenship because of being born somehow in Hawaii.
It makes sense, just don’t question it.
I’ve lived here almost all of my life and I’m patriotic enough to defend my country to others such as Americans (So myself?), but thankfully not so overboard patriotic that I would consider joining the armed services and doing a a low budget Australian version of Vincent D'Onforio's character in "Full Metal Jacket", or have a Southern Cross tattoo.
Yuck.
