About Me

This is my favorite part haha, what we all love: talking about ourselves. Ok, I'm a musician. I teach, record and perform. I love music. Music is my life. I play the electric guitar but i aim for a high level of musicianship. I got admitted to the Berklee College of Music in Boston (FUUUUUCK YEAH!!), I'm goin next year. Jazz, blues, progressive and thrash metal are my passions. I used to love fighting but those days are over, so I just enjoy watching boxing or UFC matches. I read a lot, whatever that has to do with sociology, politics, philosophy, poetry, some novels. I do it because i like to have a strong researched opinion about EVERYTHING. I'm a SKEPTIC, AGNOSTIC, ICONOCLAST. I FUCKIN' HATE PSEUDO-SCIENCE, CONSPIRACY THEORIES, NEW AGE AND BULLSHIT LIKE: "What the bleep do we know?", spriritualism, psychics, energies, clergy men, ETC. Remember this: A TRUE SKEPTIC DEMANDS TO BE CONVINCED WITH REAL PROOF. I love cinematography as well... good cinematography. Im really sarcastic, i cant help it, its a tremendous release for me. Its walking that fine line between criticism and comedy. Im 100% mexican, so i have a very strong accent in english, i would love if you didnt make fun of it. I like to jam with people, im going back to the bar scene. Nothings better than jammin with some beers (XX Lager!!!). I think i have an anger management problem but im working on it. LOVE and FRIENDSHIP deserve all my respect, nothings more important, I think it's really tragic when people get serious about other stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything else really serious ... everyday I make an honest conscious attempt not to take anything seriously.But I do have a serious problem with metrosexuality and the slow ridiculous loss of manhood on a generation raised by women. Leave your fucking chest hair alone man! Spend three hours every day in the gym?? Go home and read a fucking book. Usually, super buffed-banana republic dressed dumbasses dont have anything smart to say. I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world. If you're out there and you're cute, maybe you're beautiful. I just want to tell you somethin' - there's more of us UGLY MOTHERFUCKERS than you are, hey-y, so watch out."One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

ORION

It's raining... Sometimes I wonder if Metallica's Orion was composed on a rainy day. I wonder cause it truly belongs there. The whole song is great but come on, you know what part i'm talking about. I...
