About Me

Get Your Own Voice Player ManageI am an unapologetic geek. My geekdom knows bounds, however they are vast and imperceptible to the naked eye... probably because the naked eye is waaay too busy being naked to notice anything important going on. I mean to say, when was the last time you were hanging out, totally naked, and found the time for multitasking? Honestly... I think we ask too much from these naked eyes.

... what?
But yeah, I pay my bills wiff my m4d pr0gramming sk1lls... er, something to that effect, but with a bunch of nifty hand gestures and crap.
I never know the right words to put in these damn small and uninvitingly constricing text boxes... so; the best way to get to know me is to have a conversation with me. IM and email gallore below. =)"Listen to my music, hear what it can do... there's something here as strong as life and I know that it can reach you."
-Neil Peart: Rush - 2112
Amadon is my band.
Vudeux is my solo project.
Shockeye Studio is my haven where I create beautiful music.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

*shrug* Vaccinated people. There's this disease called Stupid that I don't wanna catch.

Tuh.

Music:

I have been writing, recording and performing original music for 11 years. Creativity is the closest thing to an ultimate omnipotent force that I've ever encountered, it keeps me balanced in all that I do.

Uhm, yeah... I also gots me some bands that I like..

Rush
Jethro Tull
Mute Math
Kansas
Telefon Tel Aviv
The Chieftains
Jazzanova
Queen
Kraftwerk
Earthsuit
Theivery Corporation
Coldplay
Fila Brazillia
Dervish
Boards of Canada
John Mayer
Amon Tobin
Bob Marley
RATM
RHCP
SOAD
TATU... and other 4-letter bands
The Third Eye Foundation
Victor Wooten

Movies:

I dig 'em... but I have missed a lot of very important ones, so chances are, if you ask "haven't you seen such-and-so??" the answer will be simply, "No."

Unless you're talking about; Monty Python of varying breeds and sects, The Boondock Saints, Ben Hur ('cause I'm old ckool b1tches), just about anything with Bill Nighy in it (Hitchhiker's Guide, Underworld, Pirates, Shawn of the Dead), Star Wars *oogly eyes*... I'm convinced there is a line from Star Wars to match any situation.

Television:

Mostly random britcoms.

Dr. Who
Red Dwarf
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Faulty Towers
Black Adder

Uhh... that's all I can remember, aside from the random South Park

Books:

Eye dun reed sew gut...

Yeah, I know... sad that I don't stimulate my mind with books, but there have been a few authors that have shaped the course of my life in a very literal way.

Douglas Adams
J. R. R. Tolkien
Ayn Rand
John Shirley

Heroes:

Ultimate hero: Mi madre.

Jaco Pastorious
Geddy Lee (don't laugh, I don't look like that asshat from Orgasmo)
Johnny A.
B. B. King
Jimi
Ian Anderson
Dave Grohl
