About Me

What's up. My name is Josh, I'm 23 and go to school at Azusa Pacific University in So Cal. It is a privite Christian University and it rocks. I am a Pre-Med Student majoring in Biology. (Yeah it is as scary as it sounds). After school im going to Med school to be a doctor. I am a Christian who loves God, and hope that everyone reading this discovers how awesome it is to be in relationship with Him. I also play the keyboard, wakeboard, and do other fun stuff, when I have the time. I also love to do creative stuff, art, dance, music and whatever else I can find. Ummm that's all I can think of right now. PeaceI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Right now with school, all I really have time to do is study, eat and sometimes sleep. I really like to keep myself busy, by being productive. I like to hang out with my family and friends, and meet new people as well. I think I put some of my interest above, so look up. Right now my interest is to remain sain. Also really into music, and staying healthy. I also love to dance whenever and wherever I can. Favorite thing to do is wakeboard during the summer at the River. Also like surfing, and snowboarding (have not done it a lot but its awesome)

I'd like to meet:

People who are funny, intellegent, show love to others, and like to have a good time.

Music:

I have actually not filled this out because I did not know how to do it justice. Music is one of my greatest passions. It reaches to us in such a personal way that nothing else can. I really can listen to and appreciate all forms of music. There however are genres and musicians that I prefer. Music as it is an art can be hard to judge because you cannot judge a persons creative and emotional self that they put into their music. So for me the music that I cannot stand is the music that is not done with the right intentions. I am saddend by the growing amount of artist that are not artist at all, just a poster person with no creativeness in them at all. My music listenings are always growing and I love to listen to new and different artist. If you have any artist that are not included at this time please let me know. I am always up for expanding my mind, expecially in the area of music. Not included in this list are my Rap and RandB favorites. I love to dance and this list would be incomplete with mentioning all of the amazing songs that this genre is producing. Some of my favorites include..88, Aerosmith, All American Rejects, The Beatles, Bob Seger, Bon Jovi, COLDPLAY, Dashboard Confessions, David Bowie, Destiny's Child, THE DOORS, Frank Sinatra, Franz Ferdinand, GAVIN DEGRAW, Goo Goo Dolls, Gwen Stefani, Interpol, Jackson 5, Jet, Jimmy Eat World, John Lennon, Journey, Keane, The Killers, Led Zeppelin, Lenny Kravitz, Louis Armstrong, Marroon 5, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Missy Elliott, Modest Mouse, The Moody Blues, Nat King Cole, No Doubt, Phantom Planet, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, Rooney, Rufio, The Shins, THE SECRET MACHINES, Smokey Robinson, Something Corporate, Something like Silas, South, Stevie Wonder, Taking Back Sunday, The Temptations, The Thrills, U2 My favorite Compilations Garden State Soundtract, Music form the OC 1,2. Motown .1's, Moulin Rouge Sountrack. Vans Warped tour 2003. Lastly. I also enjoy classical music, the orgins from where this all began. Chopin is one of my favorite, I also enjoy some of the later composers of the Romantic and Contempory periods.

Movies:

Love movies that tell a great story. I love movies that leave you thinking. Life is Beautiful, is an amazing movie go see it and watch it in the original Italian. Beyond Borders, The Royal Tenenbaums, Crash, The Last Temptation of Christ, Kingdom of Heaven, Se7en, Fight Club, Braveheart, Life Aquatic, Garden State, I Huckabees, Hotel Rwanda, The Nightmare before Christmas, Lord of the Rings trilogy and Star War trilogies, Pleasentville, The Shawshank Redemption, Amelie, Mona Lisa Smile, Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge.

Heroes:

People who chose to succeed, who follow their dreams. People who take pride in themselves and bring the best out of others. People who have a passion for something, and they live their life according to that passion. People who are true, daily examples of love. People who move and shake things up. People who know their life's calling and press towards it 110%. People, who through God change their world.
