Jack’s err… modest video introduction.
I’m an Australian living in Seattle since 2007. Yes, that means I have an Australian accent and I’m also constantly confounded by weird American customs like tipping and super-sizing. I am also switching between English and American spelling all the time and I choose the spelling based on how pretty the word looks. My preferences include: “realise”, “neighbour”, “color”, “ass” and “donut”.
I write about my everyday thoughts, my dealings with being single, musical thoughts and there are also daily links to interesting things (they are in pink and in the sidebar of the front page).
Some blog posts that sum Jack up:
- Yeah, Being Single - reflections on being long-term single
- 8 Minutes - when I got dragged into speed dating with a co-worker
- Bad Day in February - my first time being depressed in Seattle
- Race Relations - airing the concerns about my own ethnicity
- Happy Birthday to Me - getting drunk over NYE
- How I Treat My Books - examining a subtle metaphor for domestic abuse
- Coming to Terms - leaving my life behind to live in Seattle
What other things should a boy write on an About page? Umm, leave me a comment? Or shoot an email to jack@boxofjack.com and hope that it defeats my spam filters.
