About Me

The name's Ruben, I was born in Anaheim, California. Graduated from La Joya Community High School in Avondale and attended college at Arizona State University for a year. Currently wandering what this part of Mother Earth has to offer, which has so far been the usually, desert heat, HA! Other than that I am very friendly and enjoy making others laugh. One thing that truly fascinates me in life is guitar. I love playing for hours, and if I could, I would spend countless days, weeks, months and years doing just that. You could say I am very passionate about music in every shape and form. If you would want to talk to me about anything for hours on end your best choice of topic would have to be music! Overall, definitely open minded, but I do have my stances on certain topics and or issues. In a nut shell I am just an average dude, getting by the struggles of life one day at a time.
