'Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again '-Ahmad
Hey everyone I'm Juan 'of the dead' Ortiz. I'm from beautiful Modesto California.I didnt live the great american childhood everyone dreams about.this was more then some kids should take.It was tough and heartbreaking at times, but it made me a much stronger person in the long run.my passion is art. I love to draw and paint.I also help build computers with my neighbor when.we have finished two super computers,one for gaming and another for graphic design,priced in the thousands.In my spare time I also like to design things on the computer,I usually do picture editing and sometimes layouts for local bands free of charge.I plan on becoming an art teacher in the bay area to help inspire the next great artist.I am a musician, and a huge fan of local hardcore music. I've been in this '209 hardcore scene’ since it started in early 04' so don't look at me and think I'm a newb at at how I am or how I act.i tend to go to a lot of local shows,if you see me at any come and say hi,always fun to meet new people.I am currently in two local bands,i play bass in one band(Curse You Red Baon!) and sing for the other(Fall Of The Final Empire).check them out when you get the chance. im a good listener and a good friend. I will always have a hand out for a friend, i just love reaching out and helping someone. I'm a hopeless romantic.I’m currently in a relationship and I havent been this happy in a very long time.i finally found my true love. I'm a big movie junky, I tend to talk a lot about what is coming out and what is in production to come out.if you wanna know more about me just ask.
