About Me

I am a very eclectic person, one foot in the future and one way in the past. I love all things tech, and have an unnatural love of Psy-Trance/Goa; and on the other hand, I love old rock, and historical reinactment.
I have been DJing since 1997 at raves, parties and festivals. I primarily spin PsyTrance and PsyChill
Some of the events I have spun at:
Primal Trance; Transphysics; DNA Mutaion; Primal Trance, Massive Thanks; EKG; Psionic Blast; Primal Trance, One year Aniversary; Heart and Soul; Reunion, Expand your mind; Sightings; Sightings 2, The Landing, EKG Thank You Party; Cybernetic Nature; The Abduction; Chaos Theory; Burningman
I graduated with my degree Computer Network Management a year ago and since then I've been managing a network for a small college.
When I do have free time you can normaly find me playing World of Warcraft, surfing the net, chillin' at the beach, or listing to music.
I am a Ren Faire geek as well, love it to death, though it really has been a bit less fun without the camping, hopefully that will return soom. I am really into music and listen to just about everything.

Anyone that may share some of my interests, however, if I do not know you through real life experience or through some other online outlet, at least send me a message when you try to add me. I am open to meeting new people, but I am not into the whole random "friend" collector thing. This is not to say that I will not add you, just be sure to either drop me a line, or expect to be heckled about not reading my profile.
