THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE...IS THE MYSTERIOUS

About Me

BORN AND RAISED IN DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA. GRADUATED FROM ATLANTIC HIGH SCHOOL IN 1996. MAJORED IN MUSIC AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY FROM 1996-2001 (GRADUTED WITH A BACHELOR OF ARTS IN MUSIC). PLAYED THE PIANO AND THE FRENCH HORN IN THE UNIVERSITY WIND ENSEMBLE AND THE ORCHESTRA. MET MY WIFE, KRISTEN, IN THE DORMS AT FAU. WE GOT MARRIED IN LATE 2001 AND MOVED TO ATLANTA TWO MONTHS LATER TO START A CAREER. WE BOUGHT OUR HOME IN DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA IN 2002. I WORK AS AN ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER AT NISSAN SOUTH IN MORROW. WE HAD OUR FIRST SON KADEN IN APRIL OF 2003, AND LANDON IN FEBRUARY OF 2005, AND RYLAND IN AUGUST ON 2007. THEY ARE THREE BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY BOYS! I LOVE BEING A FATHER; VERY HARD WORK, YET VERY REWARDING, LIKE ALL GOOD THINGS IN LIFE. I ENJOY MUSIC, BOTH LISTENING AND PLAYING, AND READING ABOUT ASTRONOMY. AVID HATER OF GEORGE W. BUSH ............................................................ ............................................................ ............."The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man." -Einstein 1931........................................................ ............................................................ ....................."Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."-Bill Hicks....................................................... ................................

The meaning behind the music.

Some TOOL fan spent a lot of time and energy analyzing and compiling the meanings behind many of the TOOL songs. A very interesting read for a TOOL fan. www.vanillacircus.net/book/tool_book.pdf For a...
