I am here for Dating and Friends

About Me

25 year old bassist in my band, Silverstone (if you are on their friends list, you rock!) Music is my life, my passion, what I breathe everyday. Other than that, I just like hang out with friends or by myself, either way, I'm pretty content. I am really into Movies...my goal is to see all of the 250 movies on IMDB's Top 250 Movies of All Time...I think I have 40 to go. I watch a lot of TV, more than I probably should and am a fan of a lot of shows (Current addiction: Pysch and Harvey Birdman) that's on, mainly just stuff on the History Channel and Cartoon Network. I try to go to as many concerts as I can, though, I hate getting into the mosh pit...I think it diffutes the purpose of being at a concert. You are there to enjoy the music, not jump around and hit people. I'm getting back into video games and books. I'm reading my cousin's book The Legend of Darien (EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ IT!!!) and Niall Ferguson's 'Empire'. I am fascinated with Imperialism of the the 17th century up until WWI and would love to study it when I go back to school.
I am always up for political debate or historical discussions, its my major so I need to be up on it as much as I can :) I love to talk about my passions, especially Music and Movies as well. I have some pretty interesting views on life that are kinda out there, but that's just me.

Most importantly: anyone who has a thirst for knowledge and can teach me something new or vice versa. I love intellectual conversations or just stupid pop culture reference conversations...whatever catches my interest. By the way, Don't add me if you wont email me first saying why you want to add me. Bands: Don't add me if you any part of your music is: Punk, Emo, Screamo, Hardcore, Rap, Hip-Hop, Raegaee...or just plain gay

Great Quotes:
“Fame or integrity: which is more important? Money or happiness: which is more valuable? Success or failure: which is more destructive? If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” - Lao Tzu
"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened. - Albert Camus
“There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.” Friedrich Nietzsche

"Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." - Plato

"I think a life in music is a life beautifully spent." - Luciano Pavarotti

"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day." –Thomas Jefferson
