Gidday . Hi Everyone  . Welcome along to my little experimental website . This will be my New Information File . I will be posting  some of my articles here as a sorting file while I complete  sections and research. 

     I suppose you would all like to know a little about me ..  Ok then . I go by the name  Fish .. I do have a proper name and  this name which my parents kindly bestowed upon me is Ian Wallace. I have two homes .. I live in both Australia and New Zealand and my work dictates that I alternate between  the two Countries . When I am in New Zealand I live in Hamilton in the heart of the North Island Dairy Country . I was born  there .. When I am in Australia  I live at Mount Tamborine, which is in Queensland , overlooking the Gold Coast.  I spend pretty much equal time in both Countries.   I  am a single man, having never married and have  a brother living in New Zealand . My father is still alive and quite well living in New Zealand, however my mother died when I was very young. I was only 6 years old at the time. I do remember  her quite well and can even now never forget how  loving she was and how I remember her enduring struggle to remain with us .. My brother however has no recollection of her at all, being only 4 at the time . I have a Step Mother  although I was 13 when my father remarried so I was well entrenched in my now stubborn and independant lifestyle by then.  I have somehow managed to survive through all manner of adventures and travels so far with a steely self determination and an ability to take each day as it comes along with a smile and a thankyou to those who have helped me  tread lifes path. Simply my life's motto Is ..  If It's going to be ..  It's up to me..

 

   

     Well  I am an Investigative Journalist  and operate on a freelance basis . This means I write articles and sell them to various magazines and  newspapers and anyone else that may wish to buy them . Sometimes I will investigate and write the articles and then sell them to editors, sometimes I will be comissioned by a magazine to write a series of feature articles on a particular subject   In short, I work my butt off and hustle  . I travel a lot to do interviews and research and I also have to meet and convince editors that my articles will sell magazines and papers for them .. I will only write an article on what I determine are the facts, and only after  researching and double checking my sources and information .  I will mainly write about my specialist subjects which are Healthcare, Natural Medicines and associated topics and Sport . I specialize in the sport of Motorcycling and Horse Racing  although I do other features which may be of interest. I work from home or on location and pretty much work my own hours although I have to meet strict deadlines.  I have an   interesting job. I love it.. Ok so that's pretty much what I do..

          Lying face down on the concrete driveway of a local service station is not my idea of fun. Picking myself up and struggling to come to terms with what had just happened,  I somehow managed a smile. My mother was angry, I remember that. I had managed to open the rear door of the old Ford Prefect and had fallen from grace in my mother's eyes.

          Startled, she lept from the front passenger seat of the old car clutching my baby brother in her arms, and as she made a scrambled attempt to determine my reason for depositing myself in such an ungodly mess,  I began to realise that I actually did exist. .

          Whether it was the bump on the head from the fall that had jogged my conscious into being, I am not sure, It may simply have been my first recollection of being someone.

          I am three years old, and I quite like being here ...
