Zorn! O Zorn!

About Me


This is my music page:

My Interests

Music. Drumming. My amigos, they're like family. Writing. Dopamine. Adrenaline. My Hillbilly TV brotherhood. Gai's rule.

I'd like to meet:


People that talk about what really matters, and that aren't afraid to get down into 'deep' conversation about life and society and that. Open minded people that aren't ignorant.
People that know interesting things about back pain, symbolic birds and life.
Nice people that are decisive.
People that judge me for what I am and not what they've already heard. The alpha to your omega. (And anybody local that needs a drum teacher =P)I'm rather friendly, so message me if you wanna chat and I'll most likely talk back. If I don't straight away, don't be offended. =)

Television:

Usually dumb cartoons like Earthworm Jim or Grim and Evil tickle my fancy, they crack me up. Other than that, animes like Naruto and Dragonball Z are cool when there are fights, which, despite both being programmes about fighters, really don't have much fighting in. English humour's great, erm, I dunno, I don't really watch TV. The news is jokes.

Books:

The Ethereal Manifesto. John Brown Blued Up. The A-Z of Music Theory. Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? Death and Parliament. The Goon Patrol. Hubrid Manifax and The Dungeon of Blood. Watership Down. Orson Wells WOTW Radio Script (and Wells Legacy). Don't Got A Clue. 1984. Chubacabra. Slim Jim's Last Job. Slaughter on 10th Avenue. Comfort is assuring yourself with your own white lies.

Andrew Leask. Mahatmas Ghandi. Tyler Durden. Robin Hood. Jeff Beck. Nobuo Uematsu. Batman. Renee Descartes. Shirley Barret. George Orwell. Norris Cole. Gaara. Julius Benedict. Derren Brown. David Warren. The Political Machine. Lex Luther. My real friends. All of them. And David 'Bums' Melluish .
