About Me


My profile was customized using the Taming the Beast.net MySpace Layout Generator
Hi everyone! 24 year old from Brisbane, have lived here my whole life and love it to bits! Have been to many places through my travels but still think Brisbane is one of the greatest places ever!I play drums and am into pretty much anything that has to do with music. Played piano for a little bit when I was really young, but drums has always been something that has interested me.I really love tattoos (I only have one at the moment, a Heartagram on my lower back) but plan to get more!! They are totally addictive!I also love martial arts and actually have my black belt in Kyokushin Karate (full contact). Have been training since I was 12, and got my black belt (shodan) in 2004. I'm having an extended break from it at the moment, but I really miss it and plan to go back soon hopefully.Travelling is also one of my passions. If I was rich I would be doing it all the time! But since that will probably never happen, I would love to be able to go overseas at least every 2 years, but I have no plans to go anywhere else as yet. On my last trip in November/December 2006, I went to New York, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Paris, Zurich, Vienna, Prague, Helsinki, Talinn and Singapore!
