Hi everyone Im Kent,

I'm writing this intro post to join teamaustralia. My first post was the usual holding up a piece of paper to verify my human existence and NOT as a BOT which my friend advised me to do :) @lordnigel

Born and still living in RADelaide, im 39 years young and married to my Filipino wife effy who is 35. We own a Maltese shitzu 13 year old diva called 'Snowby' who was a rescue dog really, (story for another time perhaps).
As a huge star wars fan and to offset the playful bantering of mates who always knew i wanted a dire wolf as a pet her nickname is Snowby-one-kenobe. Currently she is the light of our lives, until we create ones of our own.

Probably the most interesting story i can relate is around 1998. Friends and i were walking back from a cinema in town and i was twirling a tiny replica gun-lighter whilst lighting a cigarette heading back to our car. I mean this gun could easily fit in the palm of your hand. A lady must've reported to the authorities there was a 'gun wielding' young male just off Pirie st. We were actually driving out of the car park and into a connecting side street when my friend who was driving kind of shrieked in terror as five fully-equipped, automatic weapon bearing Star force officers materialized out of thin air stopped the car, removed us (very meekly) from said car and hand-cuffed us on the ground. After a tense situation, it was clearly identified that the weapon in question was a gun lighter i had bought on holiday in Indonesia.
As the tension melted away and the camera crews that we didn't even realize were in the street started packing away their equipment, one of the officers stopped and looked at me kind of funny, removed his head gear and said, "kent, is that you?" Turns out he was a friend of a friend i had met at a BBQ the week before. That's Adelaide for you, sure is a small world!

Interesting things about me (struggling)
I write poems and fantasy, am a hopeless cinefile.
Heavy PC-PS4 gamer to escape reality when i need.
Sold Shaun Micallef a Walkman when Brashs was still open in 1992
Served Thandie Newton (Westworld) a beer when i was working in London in 2005

Overall massive animal lover and i joined steemit primarily because my friend @Lordnigel won a bet (jokes). More importantly to raise issues of cruelty to anything and everything. I don't want to sound like an arrogant Social Justice Warrior but perhaps in many ways that's what i am, its what Im most passionate about in this world.

Nice to meet you all and never hesitate to say hello. The positivity i have found so far on Steemit is utterly AMAZING, a precious thing only as unique as it is worth fighting for!

Please add me @choogirl

Such a sincere welcoming and response, i thank you for fueling my conviction that this is truly a great place to find similar minds and the people that contain them. Advice and support is more than welcome, im a small fish in a big pond, but the pond seems refreshingly tranquil.

Lol. Cool story. You're on my list! I'll let you know when I've done the next update.

My humble thanks, milady. I look forward to posting great content for the low low price of enlightenment, failing that just a good laugh.

Cute puppy. Thanks for sharing, hehe. I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold. You can call me Joey.

Cute puppy? by the grand scheme of things shes older than Noahs ARK - however thanks for the warm welcome joey

hahahaha welcome to TA mate. Just read the rest of your story. That is hilarious when it turns out one of the officers is someone you know.

Hey supersoju,

thanks for the reply, any chance your korean? My filo wife watches what we have nicknamed 'Korellas' meaning Korean Novellas which she watches religiously EVERY night.

Hi Kent,

No I'm not Korean, but my partner is Korean.
hahahaha I'm guessing Korellas or Korean Novellas means dramas hahaha
A lot of people love watching them and are very addicted to it hehehe

i think the level of addiction is reaching critical mass, im not willing to comment on whether this is a healthy phenomenon or not, all i can say is that when the wife is engaged it provides a window for me to initiate my creative side, so ill take it!

😂😂😂

Welcome to Steemit and teamaustralia.
Are you looking forward to Solo?

Hey stephen,

its really hard as a hard-core star wars fan NOT to be be intrigued by another movie in the franchise. Its a case of i cant get enough of star wars VS they need to do the canon justice and provide the mainstream populace with an entertaining movie. Feel free to hit me up with any related questions and content, Its a love-hat relationship. Nice to meet you bro and why didnt they release SOLO on may the 4th?

I was surprised they didn’t pick May 4th as the release also.
