About Me

you're
That's a neat little word. It's a conjunction of the words 'you' and 'are'.
Example #1:You're an indescribably fantastic pianist, Richard.
Example #2:You're not very interested in this part of my 'About me' section, are you?
But, I hope that you realized at least one of the two reasons why I typed it.
If so, please add me and talk to me.
And if not, go ahead and talk to me anyway :)
I'm not single, my lover's name is Andrea Trout.
I consider myself eccentric when compared to the average person.
You might call me a hippie, but then again, I'm a little bit too weird for that. Still, if you want to put me in a category, that one would be the most relevant.
I love non-human animals. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike humans. I just don't like it when people refer to OTHER animals as 'animals'.
My conscience mainly focuses on creating as much beautiful art as I can find the motivation for, while causing as little destruction as humanly possible, and improving my intelligence.
I'm an artist.
And my life is committed to two notable types of art: musical and visual.
As of right now, I'm a much more skilled musician than I am a visual artist.
I plan on going to college to improve myself in both areas.
I've been playing music for eight years now. I play guitar, bass, and flute. I can't play the flute very well yet, but I'm working on it.
I'm not going to tell you that I'm an amazing guitar player, I try to be modest.
If you want to know how good I am, listen, and decide for yourself.
I am a vegetarian, and a pacifist.
Why? Because, I feel that meat is simply unnecessary, and killing is something that human consciousness should have evolved passed a long time ago.
We're supposedly the most intelligent beings on the Earth, right?
Well, I'm having my doubts...
Spare me of your denial, I don't think that it's very hard to grasp the concept that the destructive way of life that humans have been accepting for thousands of years is logically the opposite of progress.
Consider the Dark Ages. Then consider a world that could resemble something like the idea of heaven.
Shouldn't the most intelligent beings on Earth be the most humble, and peaceful beings? We should be ensuring the balance of life on Earth, rather than what many people are doing now. When you compare humans to the rest of the animals on Earth in that since, humans seem a little bit mistaken if you ask me.
But, anyway...
I don't believe in any god, from any religion.
I don't know what happens to life after the body dies, and I accept that.
I'm always open to religious conversations, and I'll listen to your theories.
I respect your beliefs.
But, keep in mind, they're not necessarily anything more than that.
I write in a journal.
Mainly because I value all of my memories.
The happy ones, the tragic, and everything in between.
I ride a bicycle almost everyday, with music of many different types blasting in my ears.
If you see me riding, and you want to talk to me or get my attention, be VERY obnoxious about it. Because, I'll probably be completely oblivious to you while the wonderful noises have my attention.
I enjoy riding a lot. Sometimes I'll ride seven miles in one day, and other days I'll ride forty miles (usually, to another town) away, and back.
If I had the money to support myself, I would ride a bicycle across the United States...or somewhere else. You get the point.
I currently live in Madisonville Kentucky.
I'm very out of place here.
I deeply desire one of these groove machines:
Here are some of my favorite albums...

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet a few musicians who are very conscious, and who are intelligent, and as weird as I am.

I have a very deep appreciation for many genres. I am particularly interested in the many different types of "alternative" rock from the early nineties. I am obsessed with the music of 1993.

Musical Compostion, and Logic.

   Logically, a number can grow endlessly. This is especially true when you consider the Universe, and its unknown, but surely incomprehensibly massive size. Not only this, but a number can ...
