About Me

WHO ME? WHO CARES...?
* I am a creative hardworking visionarist and one of the driving forces in Cryonic Temple.
I speak four languages which are Swedish, Finnish, English and German.

I am a into fitness and working out and I go to the gym/fitnesscenter/weightlifting about 5-6 days every week, some days I go twice :)
Some of my interests:
* Music, Im the leadguitarist in Cryonic Temple (Melodic Fast Metal) and in Dilemma Project (progressive atmospheric rock),
CHECK OUT MY GEAR & GUITARINFLUENCE LIST FURTHER DOWN AT THE MUSIC HEADLINE
* Musician, composer, lyricist, songwriter, arranger, manager, stageheadmanager, coordinator, soundengineer, producer, engineer, lightengineer. I am extremely focused on everything I choose to do!
Proud to be a Rocker but I don't lower my standards!!!
I like to shred on my guitar and incorporate cool melodies as well.
Practising guitar to hopefully one day be a guitarvirtuoso.
Avoiding a prideful attitude.
MetalHead with depth but not a dopehead lost in space...
Axeslinger......
AMPS: My favorite amp in the studio is ENGL SAVAGE 120 but for rhythms only.
For solos, leads & harmonies I use my old Ibanezleftyguitar and old beaten up racksystem. Worth nothing 2nd hand but when it comes to money, but I really love the tone.
* Read books (geeky), write, compose and being a nerd at the computer.
* I try to be creative with music and I don't like being a lazy bum.
That's why some might think I'm restless but I don't care what others think about that.
* I enjoy cooking especially Thai, Scandinavian and Italian istead of buying just fastfood crap.
* My son is 14 years old and he is a my pride and joy.
I wish him all the best in his life and support him in everyway and wish him to become very happy in life.
Yeah, I know that I might sounds boring, but this is me :)
Next question... :)
I'm a openminded LDS and I have friends from various faiths, backgrounds, genders & from ALL over the world.
I am a member of many communities. and the reason why I joined myspace is that I hope to find great friends here also. I'm dating a wonderful woman so Im NOT here to find a date :), .
However I never compromize my faith or lower my standards eventhough that might lead to more dating.
Btw, I'm very principled about not dating anyone that is more than 15 years younger than me as I find that those women are too young for me...
and besides that I am not a desperate jerk that tries to be 18 forever :)
But we can hopefully be friends anyway :)
I'm not a picky dork, but I sincerely do respect women. I rather have great female-friends here at myspace eventhough that will never lead to dating rather than rushing into (disaster) dates that leads to loosing great future friendships.
I do believe that women are of same value as men and therefor they should be treated worthy. (Yes, I know it sounds dorky, but that is how I feel about women).
For LDS females eyes only ;) == I'm a R.M. and I served in Sweden 1 year & in Finland 2 years. (Nope it is not a typo).
You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
