Hello... The mindless voice announced.

I'm Michael. I'm a 17 year old male from New Zealand.
I'm of English and Scottish decent.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist. I play guitar, bass, drums, piano/keyboard, harmonica, mandolin and a little banjo. You wont here me brag or even talk about these much. Just between you and I, I'm not very good.
Favorite class at school is English, maybe History.
I enjoy doing stupid things for stupid reasons.
I'm currently at the best place I have ever been in way of feelings.
If my art doesn't show that it's cause I like the darkness of it all.

I listen to a lot of different genres of music.
Band/artists I enjoy the most. The Beatles, The Doors, Nirvana, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Everly Brothers, AC/DC, Metallica, Opeth, P.O.D., Gun & Roses, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Jimmy Eat World, Placebo, Neil Young, Neil Dimond, Neutral Milk Hotel, Sound Garden, System Of A Down, Dream Theater, Nick Drake, The Offspring, Pagoda, Pain Of Salvation, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, R.E.M., The Ramones, Rooney, Seether, Shinedown, Staind, Symphiny X, And the list goes on, and on.

Audioslave - Like A Stone.
On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone

And on my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone, alone

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone, alone

Our Lady Peace - Not Enough.
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's nothing in between
You know the truth
Nothing left to face
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing takes your place

When they say
You're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

There's nothing left to prove
There's nothing I won't do
There's nothing like the pain
I feel for you
Nothing left to hide
Nothing left to feel
I am always here

When they say
You're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

What you want
What you lost
What you had
What is gone is over
What you got
What you love
What you need
What you have is real
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough, I'm sorry
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough...

When they say
You're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

It's not enough
No
It's not enough
It's not enough

The Doors - People Are Strange.
People are strange when you're a stranger,
Faces look ugly when you're alone.
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted,
Streets are uneven when you're down.

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain.
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange,
When you're strange,
When you're strange.

All right, yeah!

People are strange when you're a stranger,
Faces look ugly when you're alone.
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted,
Streets are uneven when you're down.

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
Alright yeah
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

I enjoy a lot of different poets.
Poets I enjoy the most. Edgar Allen Poe, Jim Morrison, John Milton, Longfellow, Shakespeare, William Blake, I think that about does it...

Jim Morrison (The Doors) - Feast Of Friends
Wow, I'm sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
South
Cruel bindings.
The servants have the power
dog-men and their mean women
pulling poor blankets over
our sailors

I'm sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the TV
Tower, I want roses in
my garden bower; dig?
Royal babies, rubies
must now replace aborted
Strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood-meal
for the plant that's plowed.

They are waiting to take us into
the severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
comes death on a strange hour
unannounced, unplanned for
like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
and gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's
claws

No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
until it's other jaw reveals incest
and loose obedience to a vegetable law.

I will not go
Prefer a Feast of Friends
To the Giant Family.

I have friends... I know a shock.
Alyssa(aka Scribbleheart) I've known her since I was 10-11. We've been through a lot, and are most likely to go through more. Though. She means a lot to me and I'm glad I met her.
Chris(aka Ascry) Known him since I was 11. What can I say about him? He's a great guy. If I had to be stuck with anyone during a zombie attack, it would be him.
Kieran(aka Killer gorilla) Known him the same amount of time as Chris. He's the reason intermediate was fun. We once found this porno. We got caught. Shit. That was years ago. Like 5. Holy fuck. Anyway. He's a lot of fun. He's great.
Liz (aka God is a woman) I don't actually know much about her. Met her while she was dating Chris. Liz is an amazing bird.
Tal ( aka Evil-incarnate) Meet her at the start of this year and I'm glad I did. She means the world to me. Hurt her Chris will bet the crap out of you and I'll kick you while down. Trust me. That's how it would happen.
