Zen

Not quite the thoughts of Don Juan...

About Me

Name is Zen... I live on the Gold Coast.I'm a musician at heart who got caught up somehow doing IT. Had an IT Job, but quit cause I needed muuuusic!!
Play the piano and clarinet the best. Started the drums around a year ago, but I can also play bass guitar alright and all the power chords on a guitar as well. Tried violin and my parents made me endure for 6 months. Hated it with a passion!!! Also sing a little and made my big break when I was just 16/17 singing as the teen angel in a Gold Coast Arts Centre production of Grease.
Well that was my big break and I haven't really done anything since...
So I'm finishing up my multimedia degree - only 2 semesters to go (though I shouldda finished this year!!!). After that... well I'd like to get into sound engineering - live sound ideally, though I'd settle for studio engineering to start with.
Apart from my madness about music and anything to do with it, I'm an IT guy as well, with about 10 computers around the house (including 4 spares just sitting in my wardrobe waiting for a day when I can become some amazing hacker or something... yeah...).
I like going to the gym and exercising, though I don't think I get nearly enough of it... I love soccer with a PASSION, though my career neatly ended after I broke my jaw playing the final premiership decider. We won, but I was left drinking soup through a straw for 6 weeks... Hate all forms of soup now (apart from Miso Soup - still like that stuff).
I have a wonderful girlfriend who is beautiful and really looks after me - I'm pretty much the luckiest guy in the world I reckons.
I'm an easy going guy, and it takes quite a bit for me to get angry. I hate cheaters of all forms and in one on one matches I'm way too competitive and likely to become the ultimate bad sportsman. Hence why I play team sports - I can blame losses on others then! :-p
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests

Music:

Anything that is actual music ie. not metal/death metal. Fav bands include:

Incubus, Foo Fighters, L`Arc~en~ciel, Hyde, Taxiride, among way too many others. I have a big thing for funk at the moment - Tower of Power, Earth Wind and Fire, Curtis Mayfield, and a bunch more...

Movies:

La Vita e Bella - Life Is Beautiful. Heaps of others - I don't really mind as long as it has vestiges of decent acting and a story line (though in Jackie Chan's case, as long as the stunts are crazy and the fighting is good, there doesn't need to be good acting let alone a story line...)

Las Vegas!! For some reason I'm obsessed with this show.

Top Gear is another show I'm a huge fan of.

Initial D is anonther strange one I have a bit of a thing for.

The only author I've read a lot of books consistanly is Tom Clancy (though back in the day I read pretty much EVER Enid Blyton book ever written...)

Heroes:

Family!! My Bro is a hero of mine though I'll deny it to my last breath... I pay him out way too much and hassle him a lot too, but that's just cause I know he can go so far...

Mark Oliver - one of the best men I know of from my school days.Anyone and everyone suffering from a terminal cancer - they go through a true hell that can't be explained.
