now that i have your attention..!
my name is stan aka Jesus Crux and i'm a brilliant acoustic guitarist who writes lots of original pop-rock songs and am going to be a rockstar when i grow up. if anyone would like to join me please reply to this post or e-mail me and we can discuss things further (or get right into the musicianing)!
ideally i'd like our songs to sound like Sara Groves' songs 'cos i think they're lovely (www.saragroves.com)
since i'm turning 21 here are 21 things about me and if you think i'm the kinda person you'd like to be in a band with then that would be so cool!
1. i was born in Taiwan (Republic of China)
2. i grew up in Nelson
3. i live in Wellington
4. i started learning how to play the keyboard when i was 7
5. i started learning how to play the guitar when i was 14
6. my favourite Christian musician is Sara Groves
7. my favourite bands are the Goo Goo Dolls, Our Lady Peace and Matchbox Twenty
8. my favourite radio station is Radio Rhema
9. i started trying to be a Christian when i was 17
10. i'm still trying!
11. i think music is a great way to get optimistic messages across
12. and to express painful emotions which might make people think about appreciating things more
well, i can't actually be bothered thinking up 21 things, but that should give you an idea! oh yeah and if anyone would like to hear me play live at the Blue Note Bar tomorrow night post a reply here and i'll be there! otherwise i'll be studying for a test i have next week
13. oh yeah i'm also a law student at VUW

I was trying to think of something to post that sums up all that is wrong with this ad, but I think you pretty much covered it in three words. Thanks a bunch.

well, yes it does have relevance....can't argue there! Understanding and protecting your intelectual property is hugly important ...and you will have a advantage when you get to that stage in yr music career.
what I should have said in my other post is , I pissed around doing the wrong shit for the wrong reasons (like trying to please my parents) when I was younger instead of doing what I love which is of course music, and made myself really unhappy. wasted a lot of time and energy.
Good luck, hope you find some like minded musicians to work with...(praps not so much chance on this board as it seems to be populated with narrow minded assholes.. )
have you checked out parachute productions?
sorry to hear about that, i don't ...
sorry to hear about that, i don't think anything's ever a waste though, that's quite a nice thing you did if you were trying to please your parents i hope they appreciated and i hope you're enjoying what you're doing now : )
i haven't really looked into Parachute 'cos i'm still in an early stage of my Christian musicianing, although i don't think i'm like other Christian musicians 'cos they seem to write "worship" songs like songs glorifying God whereas my songs are more about how i see things like love and loss from a Chrisitian perspective
met some new musicians last night at the Blue Note Bar who might be interested in singing for my band! how exciting!

Let me refresh your memory:
i think the reason why so many musicians are left wing is because so many of them are poor and uneducated, can't make their own money so they take it off those who have earned it, hate right wingers 'cos they think they have some special right to drag them down (probably 'cos they're envious).
what i'm saying is while Jesus does teach us to be graceful, he was caring and compassionate to those who deserved it. as for this Labour government, it's about taxing those who have actually made an effort to better their lives and giving it to people who are lazy.
Actually it's not that i don't agree with giving my money away to the poor, i just don't agree with the government taking it and thinking it knows what's best to do with it. i'd rather put the $50 per fortnight i'm taxed on my part time job in the offering bowl at church rather than have the government waste it on its own initiatives.
The left think that the more money you take off a rich person and give to a poor person the better off they will become, but i reckon all it does is keep them dependant on the state and stall economic prosperity.

well, i don't really think so. it's just a name, he could've been called any name like John or Jerry but it was the fact that He was the "Christ" (or Messiah) that was significant, and i'm not claiming to be that. Jesus Crux is a stage name i've used since i was 16 when i entered the rockquest, although i have to admit i wasn't a Christian back then and i was using it just for fun and i had to add the Crux on at the end 'cos the organisers wouldn't allow me to enter as "Jesus". my real name is Chi aka Stan

do you believe the world was created by accident, and that yourself and other people are mutation's casual produce? i find this much more phantastical and improbable than believing in a

Um, I am a staunch lefty, but I sure can earn my own income and work hard, both to get where i want, and to earn my own money.
What strange and misguided perceptions you have. Very steriotypical.

Oh and Birdi.
Questioning jesus crux about his studies is pretty uncalled for.
I am a musician, but I am completing a degree as well as playing music and working.
I don't have my head in the clouds that's why.
We aren't all dreamers who will bludge of the government until we "become rock stars"
(something that is unlikely for a lot of people who think it will happen...)
Maybe he doesn't want to work fulltime in some lame sales job when he is 30?
You do know that people can do and be good at more than one thing don't you?
Good on you jesus crux for doing what you want to do.
Best of luck for your career in music and law.

nothing.
Do not ask
What is the Cynic good

Ask what can
Old Tom NOT do.
It seems the only things the cynic
can't do
is
run for the Mayoralty
and deface Liz Shaw's
Wikipedia entry
with the Cynic's announcement
he will run against her
and save Auckland
it might be considered hijacking an entry
apparently
to do that.
But some might think this is
an attempt
to hijack a thread.
