Introducing... troynffc!

Hi!

I dunno who is reading this, but hi anyway. I don't even know why you're reading it, or why I'm even writing it.
Guess it's just a good way of writing stuff down, I can look back on later.

Firstly, I thought I'd start of by writing a little bit about me. My name's Troy and I support Nottingham Forest, hence troynffc.
I love soccer and have done since I was 12. I remember buying Shoot Magazine for $2.50 to get updates on English soccer. And there was a one hour highlight show on the ABC.
This was way before Fox started showing 8 games a weekend, and way before Australia had the A-League.

I also like heavy metal. It's by far my favourite style of music. I like punk and rock too. And maybe a little hiphop if I feel in the mood. But metal is where I feel most comfortable. It's such a huge genre of music. Something there that can fill the mood at any time. There's the extremely slow and often depressing Doom metal (see Virgin Black for a great Adelaide doom metal band), then there's the ultra-heavy and ultra-violent death metal. I love it all.

I've also found an interest lately in boxing, mma and other fight sports. They can be so brutal, yet so brilliant as well. Is there a better test of a mans character than putting him in a ring with another man who wants to knock him out?
When I was about 10 I did Judo. Watching the UFC makes me wish I had continued. I was never any good though, so probably saved myself years of embarressment.

I live in a city called Adelaide. It's in the south of Australia and I love it here. It gets hot, which I don't like much, but is the right size for me. About 1 million people live here. We have a sporting team in all the major competitions and are generally pretty good. Suits me fine because I love watching sport. Even met my beautiful girlfriend, Kate, at a game of soccer.

I think that's enough of an introduction for now. I'll write a new blog petty soon though!

Later!
