About

So you want to know who I am yeah, and what this blog is about? Well, as far as the purpose of my Blog, you can find that in my first ever blog post. Now i can get on with the business of telling you a bit more about myself, and then maybe we can start a long-term conversation?

Well lets start with introductions. Hello Sir/Madam/Vertabrae/E.T./Friend, My name is Steaphan (Call me Steve), and I’m (at the time of writing this) a 27year old Psychology/Sociology student from Sydney, Australia. I worked in retail for many years before deciding to return to Uni and pursue my passion of helping people, and that’s how I got here. As far as my goals go I’ve got some big ones. Their probably a little ‘pie in the sky’, and hey, I’m happy to just be a Psychologist or even a store manager for the rest of my life, but, if I can achieve them I would love to.. Basically, I want to change the way Psychology and Sociology work so seperately, and possibly create a system that uses both schools of thought to create change both in the short term, and also in a more longer-term sense that generations later people will still benifit from. I guess part of my interest comes from my own history with Major depression, and seeing my mother also suffer from the grip of the disease. Also, I learnt that talking, and working with others, is the best way to deal with anything, a long long time ago. See, to put it briefly, I was born retarted and learned to use words instead of fists. I also learned the value of others.. as Ben Lee said: “We’re all in this together”

I’m very much a humanitarian in general. Although i’m straight I’ve done some work in LGBTI rights, I’m a member of the Greens party here in Aus, and while I’m a horrible consumer, my thoughts are always on the environmental side. Also, i’m a recent convert to veganism, well, more or less, I don’t exactly fit the definition but I’m basing it on my ethical principles. I have a massive family who i love to death, a great network of friends, who i also love, and even though due to my depression I can be a hermit at times, I’m the luckiest man in the world to be surrounded by these most amazing people.

My tastes in music are as eclectic as they are undescribable: Rock, Pop. Alternative, Acoustic, Dance, Hip-Hop, Electronica, anything with either great lyrics or a great bea… I can dig it! As far as movies my fave of all time is “Empire Records”, and I’m a huuuuge Kevin Smith fan, and then most pop-culture type mainstream hollywood stuff. I love comedies like “The I.T. Crowd”, “Black Books”, “The Big Bang theory”, and I’m a big Dylan Moran fan.

As far as reading it’s biographies, Poetry, and tales of the mind and soul…

I can’t really cook, although last weekend I did make some edible sweet-potatoe muffins, but I love my Pasta, and my Pasta, and did i mention Pasta?

As the title of the blog suggests.. I’m a Coffee Addcit and have been for the last half of my short life. It’s totally unhealthy but oh so good! And to make matters worse I got into smoking around the same time… Doh!

What else… What else… Um, Love Cats, not a real dog person, magpies scare the f*** out of me, Love cordouroy Jeans… I think thats it?
