About Me

I'm not lactase persistent.

My name is Xavier as you can see. I currently reside in Austin, Tx but I call Houston my home. I love traveling and I love my friends. For most of my life I've been addicted to creating and editing videos although I couldn't correctly teach you about either one.

Current status: Focusing on this new flick, a new music video, and finally completing my best friend's sister's wedding video. Whew!

I enjoy a nicely crafted beer (or Miller Lite) amongst friends when time permits, and liquor only when it's absolutely necessary.

I connect A/V cables all day then when I arrive home I tweak my TV all night until the test patterns have permanently burnt into my retina.

My Interests

Politics

Making short flicks

At times making music

An obsession with everything High Definition and a quest for audio/video nirvana

Horror Movies of Yesteryear

Favorite Song of 2007?

So what was your favorite song of 2007? If you had to boil it down to just one, what would it be? It doesn't have to be from your favorite band, it doesn't even have to be the most perfect song...
