I am here for Friends

About Me


Thanks Hien from Pixeldustphoto.com
I spend most of my time hanging out with my good friends. Like to have a good time hanging out, whenever I get the chance. Politics has come to be a huge interest to me in recent years. If your not afraid to hear my side and sit through my rants, I am one to be open and listen to your view (even if I disagree.)
I have recently finished with school and still trying to decide where I would like to go in life. I am happy with where and I am right now, but always wonder what is next. If I am not staying busy and unproductive, I usually will suddenly pick up a new hobby. Throw any challenge at me and I am down to try it.
Music is a big part of me. I have taken the notion that I want to be able to play a large range of instruments comfortably. I can currently play saxaphone and drums pretty comfortably. With those insturments, I can hold my own in any performance. I am still working on guitar. Piano was my first introduction to music, but I need to get those skills back. I doubt I can even play with both hands anymore.
Always up for meeting new people!

My Interests

Listening to Music, Playing Music, Going to Shows, Hanging out

I'd like to meet:

When I first set-up this page, I throw on any drummer I could think of. But a recent trip to NAMM and the thrill of seeing tons of big names helped me realize something. Just being a big drummer celeb does not mean I really want to meet them. Here's my attempt to redo this section.

I am always looking to meet fellow progheads. If it wasn't for networks like this, I wouldn't be listening to the music I do today.
