About Me

I have a personal creative studio called The Pressure .

Flickr me at http://flickr.com/photos/thepressure.

My first name, Adan, means "Man of Red Earth." My middle name, Ramon, is the Spanish form of "Raymond," which means "Defender." My last name, Garcia, is from the Basque word for "Bear." I was born in the Year of the Monkey, and my Zodiac Sign is a Ram. I make music under the name Snakebird, and perform in a group called Men of Leisure.

How I made my profile:
I used Dave & Jay's amazing myspace layout editor .
