Trentus the apprentice

I am here for Friends

About Me

I won't lie, right now I specialise in awkwardness. Awkward pauses, awkward jokes, I am a master in all of those areas. But if you can get past that awkwardness, I'm sure you'll get along with me, 200+ 'Myspace' friends can't be wrong! (believe the hype).
I am currently studying education at university, training to become an influential force in the future of your children's education...so yeah the world is screwed.
I love music. Music loves me. We're very happy together. I like most styles of music, and chances are I'll like something you do (and I'll probably like stuff you don't, but I digress). I am in a two piece band with Callum called 'Shadow of Salem'. I am on the keyboard, while Callum plays the drums (on his new red shiny kit) and we split the vocalising. It kind of sounds like One Day As A Lion, but with a more indie keyboard sound at times. But it's going well, hopefully we'll be on the gig scene soon enough
I do lots of writing. Lyrics for the aforementioned band, as well as poetry and stories. I generally have a few projects going on at once in that area.
I am a Christian, and I love every minute of being one. But I don't like the stereotypical view people have of Christians, that is influenced by the media (which you can blame for a lot of the hate in the world). We're people just like you, and we're not perfect...just like you (sorry if I break some of your hearts with that comment).
I am also currently training at Way FM radio station on Monday Nights with Ben on the Reality Rock show (8-12pm), so tune in to 87.5 or 105.3 (in Northern Tassie) and request heaps! If you do I will like you

Soundwave 09 recap

And so after much waiting, speculating, dreaming, discussing and other words that might fit in with the above sentence later, the Soundwave trip is over. I figured I'd post my thoughts on the show and...

When I become a teacher I will write in red pen! You cannot stop me! (rant)

I figured I might as well address the idiocy of a certain Today Tonight report I saw last night (or the night before...hey it's on before How I Met Your Mother, don't judge me) regarding a push to sto...

Gotta love it when God flat out slaps you with something

God works in many ways, I think every Christian will testify to that. But sometimes you have to wonder if he gets frustrated when we miss his more subtle attempts at teaching us. I'm not sure whether ...

Ignoring the Devil at the front door

Hey all, yes it's been a lengthy amount of time since the last time I did one of these, and even longer since it hasn't been (completely) music related. This one is mainly in relation to one of my oth...

12 top songs at this point in time and why

So, inspired by some of the 'top album' blogs, I decided to go with top songs. Now note this is not of 'all time' rather how I've been feeling over this past week. So this can change somewhat frequent...

Well yeah, I've all but (God willing) made it 18 years through life up to this point in my life. What can I really say, it's an achievement when you think of all the children who die without getting a...

My Poor Pinti

I drove down to the other side of the island (about 2 and a half hour drive since I'm still a provisional driver) with 3 of my friends to go see Australia play New Zealand in the final game of a three...
