About me:
I've been living in southwest Austin, TX since May '06 and work here full-time. I was born in and mostly raised in the Houston, TX area. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or just want to chat.
Hobbies/Interests:
Music is my passion:
- I enjoy collecting music; espically vinyls and rare music ( b-sides , demos, bootlegs, etc...). My thirst for more music can never be quenched.
- I got a synthesizer for Christmas 2006 so I sometimes create and record my own songs for fun. Check out the MySpace I have setup dedicated to this here: Green Arrow . Feel free to add as a friend and comment.
- I love going to watch live music. Sometimes I can get really into it by moshing or jumping around, even if the band is not one of my favorites.
- I don't enjoy dancing.
- Some of my favorite bands that I have nearly complete collections of songs from include: Ash , Muse , Nada Surf , Seafood , The Killers , The Subways , Good Riddance , Nirvana , Link 80 , Desa , Cable , Cujo , & Coffinberry . I like many other rock, grunge, punk, and indie artists as well and always love hearing about awesome new bands.
- I enjoy playing around with songs by editing them or remixing them just for fun.
- Besides rock/punk, I like techno, trance, atmospheric, ambient, and even some classical music. Although, I don't really collect much from those genres.

Personality:
I'm pretty laid back and can have fun doing just about anything. Often times it's the small things that matter the most to me. Many times I'd rather hang with a few close friends or someone individually, but I enjoy any good company. I find myself living a more "behind-the-scenes" type of lifestyle rather than putting myself into a particular scene where it might not suit me completely. Thus, I've had the privelege of meeting all different kinds of people and having a diversity of friends. I believe being diverse and open-minded allows you to learn more about everything. Honesty is extremely important to me. I lose respect for those who lie, whether it be with their actions or words. Generally, I tend to trust people until they give me a reason not to. Quality and responsibility are also very important to me. Sometimes I can be sarcastic and certain people take it the wrong way. Don't. My mind typically focuses on the present and future although I enjoy reminicising about fun pasttimes. I try to always be there for people I care about.
Well, hopefully you've learned something about me. If you find me interesting enough, you should send me message. It would probably make my day.
