I'm a sports-loving Aussie, who also follows music and entertainment a little as well, so most of my articles will be revolved around these areas.

I am looking to get into the sportscasting field on radio.

I currently cover Australian Rules football and cricket games on community radio, but desperately want to get into the commercial, paid field.

I would like to top this up with some paid written work on sports both in Australia and the United States.

Apart from Australian Rules football and cricket, I also am a huge fan of American sports, such as American football, basketball and baseball.

My major area of expertise when it comes to American sports is basketball, as that is the sport I grew up with, however I am slowly gaining more and more knowledge about American football, and plan to do much more research into baseball and ice hockey.

I also love my soccer, following the English Premier League, the Australian A-League and the American Major League Soccer competitions.

Anyone wishing to discuss publishing my work, wishing for me to write for them, or simply wishing to talk to me, feel free to contact me here, I'd love to hear from anyone.

I personally do not believe drug abuse is at all genetic.

A person is not routinely pumped with drugs when they are a developing child, and yet they seem to cope with life just fine.

Once a person reaches an age where they are in total control of their lives and their bodies, it is they who consciously decide to take drugs for the first time, and repeatedly thereafter, and thus it is their conscious decision to abuse drugs.

If drug abuse was genetic, then a person of only four or five years old would crave drugs, and would act up if they weren't being fed them.

This is not the ...
