Who is Steve?


Good Question.. Glad you asked it. let me introduce myself.. My name is Stephen Cork I am Currently studying Industrial Chemistry at Macquarie university, Syndey NSW. I come from a small country town In North eastern NSW, called Dorrigo.I was privilaged enought to go to a Private school about an hour away from where I live called The Armidale School for my high school. Here is where I gained my love of many types of music.

For the past three years I have been living at Robert Menzies College, which has been really great fun. Being a materialistic world I will share with you what some of the stuff that that I own (which isn't much), which I really love. My 6 year old blundstone boots, my 486 Dx 66 computer, the resurected toaster that Vahid and myself fixed that automatically accepts the toast, cook's it and spits it back out (it's making a funny noise at the moment as I eat my toast.. Better turn that one off). My bible which has given me much understanding of God and the world that we all live in. My brother's guitar which I have on loan (and won't give back) provides, like most of my favorite things many hours of true procrastination and enjoyment.
