Who do you want to be today?

About Me

I'm a pretty average guy. I love art. I love music. I love both making and appreciating/observing both art and music. I love beauty, wherever it's found. I make maps for Half-Life 2 and it's respective mods (i.e. CSS, HL2DM, HL2CTF, etc.), and enjoy playing a well-crafted, well-planned mod (i.e. MINERVA:Metastasis 1-3). It is my intention to be involved in the future construction of such a mod project and/or major video game release. Besides that, I plan on rocking till I drop .
