Why the fuck do I sleep?

About Me

I'm 26, I live for music, my band, singing, my guitars, videogames, reading and stuff. I enjoy writing song lyrics and music for my band, Ownkind.
I live in the street where they film Neighbours. I live in the Scully house!!! It's pretty cool. Actually, I am officially over it. Neighbours is crap.
I suppose I could well be described as being impatient, spontaneous, erratic, moody, funny, indecisive, emotionally retarded, manic, old, young, chatty, shy, odd, crazy, immature, sweet, lazy, excitable, tired, hyperactive and affectionate.
There's a lot more to tell, but you'll have to ask.

My Interests

Playing guitar and singing in my band, OwnKind. Working...sometimes, sleeping, video games, good movies, reading in bed, listening to music, feeling music and finding beautiful music that can genuinely move me, hanging out with my brothers, friends and family, being less than impressed with life, disappearing into my room for hours at a time, text messages, trying to smile, myspace.
You Are a Chocolate Cake
Fun, comforting, and friendly.
You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality.
People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you. What Kind of Cake Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Intelligent individuals. Open minded people. Honest people. I would have loved to have met John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, all of the Beatles when they were younger (1961-62), then again in 1966-67, and possibly again in 1970). Living people that I'd love to meet include Jon Davis, George Martin, Nobuo Uematsu, Danny Elfman and I'm sure I'll add more people as I think of them.
