About Me

===============================================
In life I try to be open minded, positive, hopeful, and embrace all that come my way. After all, life, just being here is the most wondrous thing we could ever hope to experience. Just enjoy the ride.
I love rocking out. Air guitar, air bass, air drums, bedroom, round the house, mosh pit, and of course BASS GUITAR. Wherever, whenever, if I get the right bit of music I just loose it.I listen to a lot of TOOL. If you want to have your mind blown, listen to their music. Lateralus is a masterpiece that goes beyond the scope of any ordinary album, listen to it a few times. It'll all become clear aftera while. They pretty much changed the direction of my life.
I always like being with my friends (duhh thats why you're my friends). New or old. But seriously, I don't do it enough. Call me. I'm always up for hanging out.
Science is great, but I think things beyond comprehension and explanation are even more exciting.I want to keep moving onward and outward and upward, keep growing and being surprised.
Spiral out.

My Interests

Cars, driving, animation, the supernatural, science/technology, geometry, surreal moments, being reminded that there are many things science can't explain, the night sky, learning something new, bass guitar, the constantly surprising beauty of the world around us

I'd like to meet:

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.
