HISTORY/ABOUT THE SITE
Basically, this is the thin red line between where I am now and just degenerating into some sort of crazy guy who sits in his bomb shelter in the backyard, eats only tinned food, and constantly writes letters about the united nations conspiracy and the famous black helicopters to the local editorial column.
I'd shoot myself before I started agreeing with Pauline Hanson, so hence my salvation: setbackzine.
I started this site about a month after I finished year 12. I just had a few things that I wanted to say, and I realised that doing a website would be a) a shitload easier than doing a print zine, and b) something to help kill some of the boredom in that huge holiday between the end of VCE and the start of second year uni.
Then I realised 'shit, I need a job'.
But anyway, the site is still here.
I've always enjoyed writing as a form of expressing anger, joy, or just an opinion. In high school you could go write an 'issues' essay or something. Now I'm out of school, I got this. With the added advantage of here I can write about whatever I want. And I can say 'fuck' a lot.
I do swear too much in real life.
Over time, my opinions have of course changed and dare I say it 'matured'. The focus of this site is constantly changing, from music to really pissed off rants to pathetic attempts to justify my own behaviour. And it will continue to do so.
About the only thing you WON'T see on here is any lame poetry from me :)
(that's so not meant as a diss to my friends who can do poetry well. I just don't want to embarass myself by attempting it).
I hope you enjoy what I have to say. Even if you disagree - at least it means you're thinking about what's written.
Likewise, if you think you've got something to say that would look cool up here, by all means come talk to me about it or send me something to read.
ANTI-MANIFESTO:
soon.
