'That's what the song said, and WHY would a song lie to a human?'

About Me

So it reached 4 years. 4 years living by myself in another country. I've done a bunch of stuff and had alot of experiences I never thought I'd get to do or go thru, both positive and decidedly dark. It's all changed me, as life has a tendency to do, I think for the better, but I'm sure there's a few people that would disagree. I can be a walking cliche, and most of the time I dont mind. Having said that, I'm also not like anyone you know, if only for the mostly erratic behavior and unique vocabulary. 'Ninjosity' is an example. 'Awkwidity' is a favorite, but I can't claim it as my own. Lamazing must also get an honourable mention. I pretty much have ADD and I'm OCD but if anyone has any other acronym I fit, please dont hesitate to drop it in my suggestion box. I enjoy subtleties, catching them when most people dont, and keeping them in a box covered with photos of Tony Hawk. Enevitably we must come to music and or love same thing. It get's me out of bed in the morning and I sleep with it every night, it treats me pretty well. We have our issues like everyone else. Music is emotion, so I live most of mine with it close by. So I find myself passing time by looking for a cause, whatever that may be, hoping its as good as the brochure made it out to be. No 'about me' could be complete without mentioning one other thing: NINJAS. Seriously though, has any other profession been more rad?! I do use the word 'RAD' alot, contrary to popular belief, and what I'm told constantly, it certainly did NOT go out of fashion.

My Interests

music, recording, recording techniquies, finding ninjas, using the word 'rad' way too much, running from found death bringing ninjas, trying to make everyone happy to a fault, not caring if i make anyone happy: balancing that, evading the nice people at the US immigration services (or finding a wife in the states) looking for a new gig daily, NOT going back to Oz just yet, geeking out....oh and attempting to make great sounding, classic recordings. a never ending battle.
