Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim. — Proverbs 15:4 (The Message)

About Me

born and raised in Lincoln Heights. took piano lessons for a couple of years when i was in grammar school. used to have a penchant for origami. picked up the guitar my senior year in high school. regained interest in the piano the same year in high school. was into 80's KROQ growing up. Standard fare like depeche mode, the cure, siouxsie and the banshees. I went to Cal State Los Angeles in the early nineties. My interest in music expanded. I started playing in bands. My first was a christian ska band called the Israelites that my buddy Minh from college hipped me to. I'm still doing music.

Music is a big part of my life but ♥ my Fiery Athena ♥ is an even bigger part of my life. I mean like a bajillion times bigger. She keeps Frank at bay. I love her so very much!

Which jedi are you?
Yoda

Of all the jedi, by far the wisest and most powerful you are. After years of doing what you do best, great deal of knowledge you have been giving. Love peace, you do, but unafraid to fight, you are. Many surprising talents and powers, you have.

Take this test
I am a Defender-ship.
I am fiercely protective of my friends and loved ones, and unforgiving of any who would hurt them. Speed and foresight are my strengths, at the cost of a little clumsiness. I'm most comfortable with a few friends, but sometimes particularly enjoy spending time in larger groups.

My Interests

"Knowing that we are fulfilling God's purpose is the only thing that really gives rest to the restless human heart."
— Charles Colson

"Body is flux and frustration, a locus of pain and process. If it becomes impassible and incorruptible, how is it still body?"
— Jeffrey Burton Russell, A History of Heaven

Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
— Matthew 9:24, New International Version

Our afflictions are not designed to break us but to bring us to God.
— Our Daily Bread

"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."
— 1 Thessalonians. v. 16-18 (NLT)

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."
— Matthew 5:9 (NASB)

You're familiar with the command to the ancients, 'Do not murder.'
I'm telling you that anyone who is so much as angry with a brother or sister is guilty of murder.
Carelessly call a brother 'idiot!' and you just might find yourself hauled into court.
Thoughtlessly yell 'stupid!' at a sister and you are on the brink of hellfire. The simple moral fact is that words kill.
— Mt 5:21-22 (The Message)

"It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness"

"A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance."
— Alanis Morissette

"That government is best which governs least."
— Thomas Paine

"Worry about your own fortunes gentlemen. The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers."

"Never use hot wax to soothe enraged lobsters!"
