Music is the language of Beauty.

About Me

Hi. My name is Brian Shapiro. I work at Papa John's Pizza and attend Hartnell Junior College. I like to spend my free time with family and friends, listen to music, watch late night tv, travel, think and laugh. I feel as though I can relate to and get along with many diferent types of people, for I have lived several times. I am pretty quiet/mellow for the most part, but when I am around friends and family I can be really silly and annoying. I live to make the world a somewhat better place and to hear more music. You can always send me a message or drop a comment anytime and say anything! I will be sure to reply. In fact, it would probably make my day : ) NOTE: Please enjoy the music I put on my page, and remember to listen to the music loud and proud, but most of all, with an open mind!! Thank You.

My Interests

I like catching Z's and listening to music. I also like to watch the sky change colors, I like to draw, explore the world, walk my dog, practice origami, read old calvin and hobbes, video games: mortal kombat, comand and conquer, and timesplitters... and i like to cook yummys and make tropical smoothies

I'd like to meet:

krazy people, boring people, creepy people, normal people, emotional people, shallow people, smart people, lazy people, retarded people, fun people, angry people, happy people, sad people, ugly people, beautiful people, weird people, friendly people, mean people, rich people, poor people, fat people, skinny people, short people, tall people, quiet people, outgoing people, people, people, people... sorry, but if you are not on this list i will never ever want to meet you! thats just the way it is.
