About Me


A WORD OF WARNING:
There is a bit of a difference between the "me" that you'll meet on the street and the one you'll see in this profile. So if you hate me on MySpace, you might like me in real life. And if you hate me in real life, you might like me on MySpace. Who knows? Maybe by some bizzare twist of fate you'll end up liking both.
David James Young.
"The sweetest boy ever"
-Kate Stewart
"If you asked me "who's a good person? who's the sweetest, kindest, most considerate person you know?" it would be him, easily"
- Lauren Umstad
" "He is such a random, happy, musical man. He's the coolest, Sexiest, most awesome guy I know"
- Alice Hoolahan
"There's one of us in every state"
- Hayden Olah
"You clearly know nothing about us"
-Th e Veronicas
If I were you, I'd trust the Veronicas.
So here we go for the hundreth time, hand grenade pins in every line, throw 'em up and let somethin' shine, goin' out of my fuckin' mind.
Too RIGHT that's Linkin Park! That's one of the things you will learn first off- I like what I like and hate what I hate. You ain't gonna change that. Unless, of course you're putting forward a VERY good argument. But that's another story.
As you can see, I'm David. David James Young. I once got told that my full name is cool because it has five letters each. I never really thought of it that way, but it's cool how other people see me.
I've given up being one of those people that says "I don't care what people think of me". Fuck that! I'm fascinated!!
I am seventeen years old. Cheers to Karyn for pointing this out to me.
If you don't take anyone under eighteen seriously, or think that anyone under eighteen can't be straight edge, then fine. The X up the top right corner is your friend, fuck you very much.
More and more I tend to add complete shit to this little section that no-one REALLY gives a rat's arse about, but it's still a good timewaster. And who knows? Maybe you'll pick up on something that you hadn't previously.
I currently attend skool (I spell it that way because I'm fucking rad). I'm about to start year twelve at St. John's Satanic High School- Carvin' Pentagrams Into Our Devilchests Since 1989.
Yes, I'm a musician by trade. No, I don't play guitar.
I perform in three bands. My main focus is Once And Always , in which I am the frontman, lead vocalist, drummer, percussionist and primary songwriter.
Check this shit:

Pretty, ain't it?
My side project is with Bryce "Da Man" Halliday, one of the most talented musicians I've ever met.

Our project is called Traders Of The Precinct .
Finally, I also have a bit of an outing going with my friend Jack who plays bass in the band Laceration.

Collectively, we are Doctor Strangelove And The Doomsday Device.
Just in case you hadn't picked up upon looking around the place, I really like music. A lot.
Why? Because it's fucking amazing- it changes lives.
It means a lot to me personally, along with so many other people in this SICK SAD WORLDDDDD and I believe it makes the world go round.
It is an international language. Do you speak it, motherfucker?
I listen to fucking heaps of different music, from mainstream pop music to underground metal bands. You can tell by the big music list I use to impress my friends to show people what bands and I like.
Go chekkit.
It's now in high definition.
"What does a scanner see? I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner … see into me — into us — clearly or darkly? I hope it does see clearly, because I can't any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone's sake, the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we'll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too."
Death Cab For Cutie and The Format are my two current favourite bands.

Death Cab for their incredible musicianship and lyrics, The Format for their fun, their wit and harmony.
In turn, these albums have the potential to change your life:
"I roll the window down
And then begin to breath in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat where you are driving me home
Then looking upwards,
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

"Do they collide?"
I ask, and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter.

When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
When you need directions then I'll be the guide
for all time.
for all time..."
-Passenger Seat, Death Cab For Cutie
" Don't you dare speak for someone you don't know.
They'll feel it in the back of their throat.
We know I can't construct a poem,
Cause words like girls get bored and run
C'est la vie, I say "I've got so many better things"
I've got nothing, you should see me,
I smoke myself to sleep.

And blame postmodern things I can't relate,
Like summer camp and coastal states.
Like alcohol and coffee beans.
Dance floors and magazines.
I think its safe to say I've only got myself to blame
But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down
Taking pictures of themselves.

And so I walk the web in search of love,
But always seem to end up stuck.
I'm finding flaws in everyone.
I've reached the point where all I want,
Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up.
We are parallel lines we’re running in circles,
We're never meant to cross.

I'm at a loss- you were my tangerine,
My pussycat, my trampoline.
Now alls I get are wincing cheeks,
And dog problems? I signed a lease.
Thinking my heart belonged at 93rd and Park.
Instead I broke a girl’s heart
And flew back to Phoenix to finish the year as it started.

Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
This is the sound of my heart breaking.
And I hope it's entertaining,
Cause for me it’s a bitch.
Was it worth it?
When you slept with him?
Did you get it all out of your system?

I am a man
Holding it all
I couldn’t breath
Coming across
I didn’t know
I couldn’t give up!
B is for believing you'd always be here for me
and E is for everything- even when we see it through
C? C is for c-ing through you
You are a fake
Which brings me to A:
BECAuse, BECAuse you always run away!
I never finish phrases, I misspell
Open arms are prison cells
When I said "I hate what I've become"
I lied- I hated who I WAS
So when you start to worry about the pain in my throat?
Don't you EVER, no NEVER
Ever speak for someone you don't know"
-Dog Problems, The Format
My all time favourite is R.E.M , that will never change. They mean the fucking world to me. If you don't know them already, get on it RIGHT NOW.
Of course, I'm not all about music. These are a few other things I loike:
* film
* television
* forums
* Nintendo 64
* computers
* hugs
* friendship
* discussion (usually about music)
* boys
* girls
* men
* women
* the internet
* Henry Rollins
* journalism
* lyric writing
* pirates
* YouTube
* cities
* Triple J
* poetry
* what the human voice can do
* Good Charlotte hating

They are a lot of fun.
I fucking LOVE my network of friends. They're all amazing.


I don't like drugs. I don't like alcohol. I don't like smoking.

I like that though.
(not my hand)

Another thing you'll find out is that I'm known by a few different names for a few different reasons. Here are the names without reasons, for the ones who call me by such names KNOW the reasons.

Intervention Lullaby (sort of not really)
Dead Soul Contemporary (s.o.n.r)

And if you don't like what I say, fuck you too.
