Mark is a Game Programmer!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a pseudo-nerd. What that means is that I'm half computer nerd , half music nerd. I'm more social than your average nerd, but smarter than the average bear. I'm graduating in May with a Bachelor's in Computer Science.
That is my natural hair color.
I love writing and playing music...I play the bass, a tiny bit of guitar, sing, and also play the laptop. (Intended response: what?)
I am half black and half Argentine.
There are two types of people. There are the mean people, and the nice people. I am one of the latter.

My Interests

About music:

I want a ukulele.

I want a ukulele right now.

About ninjas:

I'd like to meet:

My subconscious. Also, people into music.

Heroes:

I grew up without any heroes. I guess if I was forced to pick one at gunpoint, I'd probably say Sting, although I really don't know much about him...and I just respect what he did musically...well...until all that contemporary adult music ...
Ooh, and probably MacGyver, even though he's a fictional character. Except for that mullet.

Optimus Prime isnt supposed to have a damned mouth.

Some may say, "But as Orion he did, and in older series and toys he did", to which I say:  Everyone knows he isn't supposed to have a mouth. That is all.

Meet the newest member of my family.

Saw it at a garage sale behind the lady selling stuff, asked about it, and she told me it wasn't for sale because it was broken.  Broken electronics, eh?  That happens to be my middle name....
