Today's question. Who's your hero?
My Answer: Greg Graffin, lead singer of Bad Religion, PhD in Zoology, author, university lecturer, Naturalist. It's this combination of things that make him such an inspiration, how intelligent he is in everything he does and has achieved massively in 2 fields that I myself love (Punk music and natural science).
Two very awesome things to report:
The first is that the formation of a band is starting to come together, I have a guitarist
I've mentioned him before in my blog, people kept calling me his name and him mine at the Punx Picnic, we were known as the "Mohawk Twins" because we look very strikingly similar. I've also gonna have a bit of jamming session with my friend Mig on Wednesday, he's a phenomenal musician to say the least, he's already in a band I've mentioned before "Matt Black & the Emulsions" but he lives for music and wants to be involved with as much as he can possibly can. I sent the best song I have written "A Curse" (see a couple of blogs before) and he's written some music for it and we're gonna fine tune it, it would great to have him on board.
Secondly my fellow punk dino-nerd, Nat, sent me a link, it's essentially a 12 week online course in Paleobiology "Dino 101" course done through a series of online lectures that would take just a few hours a week worth of work. No real qualification at the end of it, but it should still be fun and interesting, plus you know, DINOSAURS!

I'll leave you with a band someone showed me last night, they're one of the biggest punk bands in Australia apparently and I can see why!
