wisdom is not obtained with age, but with awareness. Awareness of the unconscious daily compromises.

About Me

This feels so weird. Trying to sell myself to some one. Seems weak. But what the hell. Let me start with an update. I just started what I like to call my "second breath." I started working in the music industry at 16. I worked at a major record label. Helped run the street team. I was good at what I did. But i lost all my musical identity. Had a nervous breakdown and lost my job. But I'm glad I did. Because now I can pursue the production and creative side of it. Sure I'd be lying, if I say I would never work for a major label again. But I'll only do it if I can stay true to my "principles". Sure You can say what ever, but at the end of the day, all you have is your honor, principles and self-respect. So now I'm in chapter two (2) of My life. Trying the live La Vie Boheme. (Reference from the play RENT) So know to chapter one of my life--I was Born, Raised in The Great Metropolis known as New York City. I love Music. One of my many Sayings(Edgarism. Thats right. Read and learn) that I love is: Music is my life, and Rock is my religion. My life is definitely music. I play Guitar. I got my passion for music from my dad, and older brothers. My dad plays classical guitar. He only listens to old Spanish music(like you couldn't tell I'm part of the Latin explosion) from the 50's to the 70's. When my brothers came over from El salvador(my parents native land) they brought over there music collection that consisted of the eagles, the best rock of the 80's, and a few other 70's bands. that's where I got my first taste of good old rock & Roll.(If you don't include the first song I can remember listening on the radio: collective Soul "Shine")
Your Dominant Intelligence is Musical Intelligence
Every part of your life has a beat, and you're often tapping your fingers or toes. You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time. You are probably a gifted musician of some sort - even if you haven't realized it. Also a music lover, you tend to appreciate artists of all kinds.You would make a great musician, disc jockey, singer, or composer. What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?
Your Element Is Water
A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful. What's Your Element?

I would like to meet some one Funny, and down to earth. Some one who has an interesting view on life. Some one who can keep up a conversation. I love to just get into deep discussion about anything, from life's complexities, to small things like colors. Pretty much some one who's not another fish lost in the see of conformity, and trends.
