About Me

Hey this is Gavin a.k.a The Scottsman...so how you doin? I try to make the best out of any situation either with a joke or song. I don't take crap/drama from anyone so you like dishing it out you best step aside or it might get a lil' heated. I value the simple things in life cause at the end of the day that's what we all remember. I dream big so that I can achieve big. My family is awesome and recently actually I've gotten a lot closer to my brother Preston which is great. No longer is he just a brother but now a true bro. I have the best friends a guy could ask for and if it wasn't for you guys my life would suck today. A shout out to the cream of the crop: Anthony my bro of a lifetime, Stuartt my pimp soulja , Adrian my silent assassin Sarah my favorite mexican, Joseph my humble philosopher, Kyle my fellow Spartan, Ashley my peaches...lol, and Matt my EPIC adventurer..thanks guys for everything. As of December 2007 I am the lead singer/rhythm guitarist for my band Seven Stars. We play a genre of Reggae/Acoustic/Christian but since we all agree that music is what binds us all in the love of Christ we will also play a couple covers here and there. Music that gets the crowd up and invigorated is what we strive for. I just ask God to let me take one day at a time so I can fully cheerish each passing moment.You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.Psalm 119:114

My Interests

Worshiping God, music-playing and listening, reading, volunteering, hanging out with my friends, and partying. I try to live the life of spontaneity so I'm willing to try anything (legal wise) at least once. I'm down for the thrill ride for which I'm given.

I'd like to meet:

***Spiritual Wise: God in due time when all of his work laid out for me is accomplished. Also my authors of great Christian living books: John Eldredge & Erwin Raphael McManus***Relationship Wise: Someone who shares similar interests but still has a mysterious intriguing side to her. One who shares the unconditional love of Christ and is family oriented above all else. She has to be goal oriented but knows how to enjoy a good laugh. Just someone I willingly spend the rest of my life with knowing and loving the fact that I wouldn't want to have it any other way. ***My Life's Mission Statement: My outmost goal in life is to travel the world by helping one person at a time through showing them the love of Christ. Sooner or later (preferably the former)I want to become a Senior Pastor to accomplish this. With all my financial backing from various business opportunities my plan is to give back to those who helped me along the journey. Simply meeting new faces and becoming friends is such an awesome act all by itself so I'm ready for the challenge ahead.





Music:

I listen and play all forms of music. I especially like playing Reggae, Christian, Heavy Metal, Classical, Industrial and anything with a Spanish flair
The Fighting Temptations- To Da River ft. T-Bone Sister Act 2- Oh Happy Day Across The Universe- Let It Be Josh Groban- Cinema Paradiso Hayley Westenra- Ave Maria The King Pioneers In Music: John Lennon- "The Master" Paul McCartney- "The Machine" George Harrison- "The Soul" Ringo Star- "The Crazy" Cas Haley- My musical inspiration Jah Roots- Smooth and relaxing jams from the love of music Pepper- Where I derive my style of spontaneity Juanes- My initial connection to sweet Spanish rock Obie Bermudez- A blend of smooth English/Spanish lyrics Josh Groban- An uplifting influence to any singer Michael W. Smith- My first intro to Christian music Chris Brown- The next Michael Jackson in dance and song Usher- Classic example of a gentleman Kanye West- A speaker of the truth

Movies:

Movies that I can walk away from and cherish it later. A great movie with some good ol' popcorn and a wonderful girl by my side is what I truly love.Lol...just to name a few.

Television:

Don't watch much TV any more but I like...Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, Heroes, George Lopez, Chappelle Show, Lost, That 70s Show, Family Guy

Books:

Bible and uplifting spiritual works such as those from Eldredge & McManus, Sci-Fi (Michael Crichton), Historical Records, Drama, anything Business related

Heroes:

First and foremost my mom is my role model. She's been through a lot and is definitely stronger because of it. She goes day by day with a smile and a hearty laugh and from that I plan to do the same. Also people like my father who are in the military fighting for that one simple word but has such a profound meaning...FREEDOM....it takes strong individuals like himself that pour that small ounce of hope into our hearts. God has brought me into this world and made me the strong individual both in mind and body that I am today. I now know that with God on my side I don't have to worry about meager things, just bask in his glory and my days will look much brighter.
