I'm Healed, God is Good

About Me

I suppose the size of this paragraph determines both how fast one types, how willing one is to share the truth about one's self with anyone who finds their public domain, and how much one likes to talk about one's self. With that out of the way, I am primarily in debt to God for saving my life. I was a washout after high school graduation. I did things that aren't worth mentioning and eventually hurt many people around me, not to mention getting into three car accidents in four months. I lost all hope in my life and hated myself. I had no reason for living and felt completely worthless. I did not value myself and the only reason I did not throw myself off a bridge was the thought of hurting more people unnecessarily. In my darkest hour when I was headed to Los Angeles with nothing but my sax to get me money for food, He showed up and I didn't recognize it for a second. The long and short of the story is that my best friend Joseph Robinson walked with me one evening before I could escape the shame I continually felt by fleeing. We ran into a man who prayed for me and I haven't had to drink, or touch a narcotic since. I am Full of a new found joy and appreciate an intimate relationship with the maker of heaven and earth, the God who loves everyone, every last single human being he foreknew and created as the focus of His grace, mercy, compassion, and unfailing kindness. I never knew He was such an awesome God until that night on that walk when that man prayed for me and the pain in my heart left me. I don't think this was possible. But God can do more than we can ask or imagine and abundantly much more! Me? I'm just trusting Him.

My Interests

My Girlfriend. Her name is Debbie Dederding and I didn't mention her officially online for altogether too long. I said I was in a relationship, but I didn't say who with, hence I'm in trouble with her. She's what I wanted in my life more than anything since I was little. I would have married her when I was 10 years old (indicative of the idealist I am) so I am certainly glad to have "finally" met her. Being that she is the soul mate I never really believed could exist, I think I have every reason to be grateful and no reason to complain. She's the best thing that ever happened to me, and I do mean happened to me. If our paths hadn't crossed, I'd still be single. She's the one.Conversations with people who have questions. I love when someone demonstrates curiosity by seeking answers. Music is My passion. I love to rock, I love to dance, I love to funkifize, I pop and flip and sway and dip. I love language and I am especially interested in new mixtures of music styles (Say rock and Latin-jazz in the same song, like with distortion guitar and a salsa beat. Santana isn't to far from it, but he is more laid back. I like driving powerful sound)

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wonders about there purpose in life. Anyone who loves God or has questions for Him. Anyone who says they do not believe in Him. Anyone who loves sax. Anyone who loves music. Anyone who is intrigued by the fact that I have Fourteen siblings. Anyone who knows exactly what they want. Anyone who desires to create peace throughout earth. How 'bout That? Oh, and the greatest musicians, dancers, Magicians, mathematicians, physicists, leaders, philanthropists, businessmen, and innovators alive today. I want to meet THEM! I love creating! Check out my music here:
..
Check me out!Got to Groove!

Music:

I am hungry to innovate new sound. I want to create a sound that is called "The Sound of Joy". I love Style mixes and radiant vibrations in matrix combinations of soul flamed Melody with rhythm.I love funk. Heavy thick, powerful bass lines, with intricate drumming and what sounds like spontaneous accents on the snare, Phat horn lines that are punchy and melodically intriguing, and rhythm guitar that begs you to dance. What else could be better? Actually, I just like powerful music. If it is climactic or tales you on a journey or hard to believe some one could actually create . . . it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow or jazz, bebop, Latin, rock, symphony, woodwind, brasswind, combos, solos (all instruments and voice) as long as it as a power to it, I like it. Simplicity isn't easily made powerful and that is actually the best music. But you don't just sit down and decide to write a song like "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller or "Hey Jude" by the Beatles (Paul McCartney?). Those kinds of songs are gifts from God and I hope to write music like them, in a new way no one has ever heard before.

Movies:

There's too many, So here ya go: Godzilla 1984 (the year I was born) Transformers the Movie, Ferris Beuleur's Day Off, Big Trouble In Little China, The Emperor's New Groove, and Napoleon Dynamite. Of course, Predator and Tombstone are the greatest movies ever . . . and Rocky. I had to put it.If you’re a fan, Will you repost this to a friend or two? Send it in a comment!! Write me back in a comment or at www.myspace.com/JuscoroostarrOne of my best friends, the Mr. Ryan Hellquist has posted a video on Youtube of the performance. The entire thing is there. It's crazy. Life's good. I owe him one. Talk about a good friend.Roo StarrMeAndrew Carl Bryan BealI really want to be on Letterman someday. I like Leno and Conan, but Letterman was the first Late Night Show I saw when I was little and he is always funny. I’m a huge fan. I just want people to know that being on Dave's show would be worth a million dollars to me.

Television:

Football in Football season and that is about it. I stopped watching Television because I am capable of producing much more without it. I almost don't watch it anymore. I grew up watching the Simpsons and Miscellaneous boy cartoons. Looney Tunes is classic. Star Trek: The Next Generation was a family favorite. There are other shows (American Idol, etc.) but I place little importance on television.

Books:

Reading the Bible is better than anything I have ever read. I read constantly Now! I read the Bible and I read anything dealing with music. The Bible is full of wisdom and its instructions change ones life. The Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolken is incredible. I also liked Farenheit 451 and Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. That's about it, I really should read more, and thankfully I have been lately.

Heroes:

I admire my Father. I love my dad and I don't think anyone has loved me in my life more than him. I do not deserve it and I can't thank him enough for the kindness he has brought me up in. Honestly, Jesus Christ is who I desire to emulate. I don't want to be hung on a cross, but I do want to demonstrate unconditional love for those around me, especially my enemies and those whose heart has pain like I once did. Then I admire Michael Brecker's saxophone technique. I don't know what kinda guy he is, but I want to play like him someday. I aspire to greatness, and God willing I will attain a level of mastery in music creation that changes the world because of my heart, not an ego trip or a fame chase. I have many heroes, but these are the main three. My siblings set the bar high for achievement And I do hope to meet it at least, if not raise it up higher. And I love Bjork!!! YAY!! Thanks to Yuko . . .
