I am here for Friends

About Me

im a fun kind of guy...i love my band.
Music is a major part of my life.
i have several jobs.
i LOVE marching percussion. i was a percussionist in high school (S.F Bass 1 '03, Bass 5 '04 & '05)
i play guitar, bass, and dabble in drums.
My last band, Krysis, broke up. i am proud of every moment, our high's and lows, but all good things must end
my new band is called Embrace Ruin, and we're currently writing music.
Concerts, they rule for i have been to WAY TOO MANY.
i love hangin with my friends.
i am in love with my g/f very much. i can just be comfortable around her. and it's the same with her. she's been there for me through thick and thin, and we've had our ups and downs, but we're always there, no matter what
i tend to be into alot of heavier music, like Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira.
i hate trendy music. this big surgence of grindcore (it's not even REAL grindcore) and "death metal" pisses me off.
i am a graduate of Full Sail Real World Education in Orlando, Florida and I majored in Recording Arts.
My dream is to one day open my own recording studio and become famous with my band.
after taking songcraft classes, all these bands that have no choruses or no memorable parts piss me off, and i have a hard time believing people when they try to tell me they actually like it too.
Racism is pointless. Bigotry is something this country can do without
i believe that people are generally good and usually have good intentions, however, i am slowly losing that faith in people
i consider myself strait-edge, being that i dont drink, smoke, or do drugs. but i am not immature about it like a lot of kids
i am a big supporter of people who are themselves. i dont care about race, religion, or anything. if you are who you are, and not who your friends tell you to be, then i will like you
i hate how i am surrounded by stoners all the time.
i hate who some people have become.
once you lose my respect, it's hard to get it back.
i believe that actions influence future events, making bad choices haunts you in the future.
peer pressure sucks. be yourself. stop following in line. create your own personality. whatever higher power you believe made you different than everyone else, so BE different than everyone else.
