About Me

Who am I? Well, I am many things. The fool, the idiot, the offender, the thinker, the interpreter, the eccentric, the lunatic ... the list can go on. I feel as if I have been everyone in one way or another. I am sure that there are other people that feel this way, too.

I do, indeed, try my best to not act impudently or conceitedly towards people that can actually sit down and have a serious conversation with me, or with anyone else for that matter.

If you act like an asshole towards me, do know that, at the same time, I am thinking of how low you will find yourself in life and achieve little in it. I am pretty sure that some of you may know this yourselves and utterly deny it. Most of you that act this way, though, are too thick to even realize this, and you do not have my pity. You only have my contempt and disrespect.

Then again, there are others that simply do not know me well enough, and if you are reading this, I fully acknowledge that I have been foolish and thoughtless with previous actions. For this, I sincerely apologize. I guess, I haven't been open to who I really am. Perhaps, I should be ... are you?

I am sorry if I sound a little cynical at times. Complete cynicism only leads to a detachment from life and from life beyond. Life becomes worthless, but it is not. For the life you may know is not the life that is possible. You can make it possible. And that's what life is all about, right? Making the most of this life for the next one.

I aspire to be a musician and can really get along with people who are open to different musical genres and artistic merit. In the end, it doesn't matter too much, though. It really all comes down to who you are as a person.

I can have some problems with people who obsess over one genre excessively, enjoy profane and derogatory lyrics or listen to what can be accepted as requiring little to no talent. In any case, don't take it to heart when such instances do arise. If you respect me, I will respect you. It's all about your character.

I have dabbled a little with the keyboard/piano, but I am currently focusing on learning the guitar and really experimenting with the sounds it has to offer.

I would like to thank Andrew Conner for letting me borrow one of his guitars. Money is difficult to come by for me, and, as of yet, I don't have a job. I'm very grateful that by the time I buy my own guitar in a year or less, I will have had quite some experience with one. (In the overall grand scheme of things, it is nothing, but for me, it is a LONG time.)

That is all I really have to say for now, but I will be sure to update this section when my mind has more ideas. If you want to know more about me, don't hesitate to leave a comment or message. There are few honest people that one can talk to these days, anyway, and so I'm mostly open for a conversation. If you read through all of this, you should consider it.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 23/12/2006
Band Members: Me
Influences:

Psychedelic rock is currently my main focus, which I find to be a very expressive musical genre that has changed my life in very many ways.

My favourite psychedelic rock artists are:

The Beatles (1966-1967), Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett-led era), Syd Barrett, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jimi Hendrix

I also love swing jazz (Benny Goodman and His Orchestra), jazz in general, non-psychedelic music by The Beatles, most of Pink Floyd's later progressive rock music, folk music/folk rock (Bob Dylan), classical music (Here used as a broad term.), melodic music, musical improvisation, experimental music, avant-garde music and the like. I will list more composers and musicians once I find myself delving more deeply into the genres.

These are artists that I don't really listen to a lot right now but may occasionally. I still enjoy them very much:

Blur, The Good the Bad & the Queen, Gorillaz, Damon Albarn, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Daft Punk, Stardust, Together (Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon), Thomas Bangalter, Tempest (Janne Suni), Gnarls Barkley, Modest Mouse, Kenna, Kanye West, etc.
