About Me

Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
But all the people can't be all right all of the time.


I play guitar. Its a big part of my life... I also play Bass and Mandolin on the side, as well, and I write my own music and study the styles of my main musical idols. I have great friends, a crazy collection of music, and I'm a relatively happy person. I write a lot of poems along with my music too, as you can see on my blogs. No they arent emo poems about slitting my wrists.
Also, I'm pretty much agnostic because no one told me about jesus when I was little. I dont care about modern religion, whether its satanism or christianity, because none of it has convinced me to believe anything yet. I love science, especially astrophysics, chemistry, and botany, and I also love Philosophy, and the great writers that have contributed to it over the years. I eventually want to get into either UC Berkeley or UC Davis and study a shitload of Philosophy, Math, and Science and probably major in one (or two) of them. I also hope to go to MI and graduate from Guitar Instittute of Technology. I'm really poor so I try my hardest in school to get good grades, and I'll probably pay for GIT after I'm already a making some money or at least after I have a degree of somekind. I also love history, because it shows us how stupid we are as humans, and it also shows how stupid we are as Americans. Also, something I really don't like in this world is ignorance. If you're going to have strong feelings about something, a person, an idea, a concept, etc., you should know about it first. And if you don't know about it, learn before you make any judgement on it. Prejudice, whether its disliking something for no good reason or LIKING something for no good reason, is always ignorant.

I'd like to meet:

The greatest band to ever set foot on the Earth's soil....

Okay, so now my Top friends list is more like Dano's because the way I had it before makes too many people mad :'( lol....THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ORDER TO PUT YOUR FRIENDS.

Music:

Okay, before you ask me the burning question "what kind of music do you like?" I want you guys to all know. You can say stereotypically I LOOK like a metalhead, and I am... but theres much more than the headbanging. I like all music, except for music that I think sucks ass. Nonsensical, idiotic lyrics, horrible musicianship, and repetition in a band will turn me away.
