I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Well, I signed up for this on February 16, 2005.
UPDATE: Yes, I am alive! I'm just uber-busy, what with being smack in the middle of band instrument rental season at work, and the whole process of transferring to a different school. Plus, I prefer Facebook anyhow! Look me up on there. If you've had a small thought in the back of your head that said, "Myspace is starting wear thin. It used to be cool until my mother and my dog got an account on here, I have 300 friends, 200 of which I've never met, and it's hard to keep up with," then you are not the only one. Join me on Facebook, at least until everyone else does and the same thing happens to them.
Feel free to keep talking to me on here, and I'll attempt to answer you! Hope everyone is doing awesomely.
Okay, back to your regularly-scheduled profile...

Yallo Myspace junkies. My name's David. I'm not sure how I would describe myself...I'm sure others would do a much better job! But from what I've heard, I'm a weirdo who has big eyebrows, interesting facial expressions, and I often think too outside of the box for my own good. I'm yay-high, I'm yay-heavy, and I'm not too obsessed with the way I look, because my family and the friends that I have don't care a whole lot!
I'm immensely lucky. Sometimes I forget that, and focus on strings of bad luck I tend to think that I have. But really...I have a great family, my friends are wonderful, and I am in love with my girlfriend, who loves me just as much. I have a job, and school, and food to eat and a car to drive. All further sappiness aside, I've got it all right! And I'm giving God the credit.
Right now, I'm at YVCC, finishing up my AA, and I am in the process of transferring to Central Washington University to major in music and experience the talents of all the crazy music nerds in CWU. I'm looking forward to it...heh!
Music is a gi-normous part of my life - I am always involved in the composition, recording, production, and listening of all sorts of music all the time. I'm a complete music nerd and I consider it the ultimate art form! So if you don't appreciate music, you might not appreciate me. :P
MUSIC IS A FAIR AND GLORIOUS GIFT OF GOD
I wish to see all arts, principally music in the service of Him who gave and created them. I would not for all the world forego my humble share of music. Singers are never sorrowful, but are merry, and smile through their troubles in song.
Music makes people kinder, gentler, more staid and reasonable. I am strongly persuaded that after theology there is no art that can be placed on a level with music; for besides theology music is the only art capable of affording peace and joy of the heart.
-Martin Luther

My Interests

When I'm not concocting some sort of musical cacophany in the Music Womb, I'm playing an occasional gig with a couple pals at Rusillo's Italian restaurant in Yakavegas (if you like pizza and gelato and haven't gone there, then get off your collective arses and GO)...and when I'm not doing THAT, I'm listening to music. I also like to draw weird cartoons about anything and anyone that strikes my fancy. I like to write stuff (mostly opinions on stuff I don't like, with the occasional psuedo-intelligent observation...most of which you will read here). I'm also very interested in my ever-smiling goofy awesome girlfriend Julie. If you don't know her, you need to! Um, let's see...my family is very important to me as I'm important to them. I enjoy hanging out with friends, driving around, blasting loud music, entertaining people, being entertained by people, and...whatnot! I'll add more later when I can think of more shtuff.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to sit Jesus Christ, Buddha, and Allah down at a big roundtable and ask them all to do some explaining.

Music:

I classify music into three genres: Music I Like, Music I Don't Like, Music I Haven't Heard. I appreciate any kind of music that can evoke some sort of mood or atmosphere, is groundbreaking in its respective genre, is awesomely original...or is just plain good songwriting. From the Beatles to Zeppelin, George Jones to Hank Jr., Mr. Bungle to John Zorn, Meshuggah to Slayer, I like it all.

Movies:

I'm not a big movie watcher, but I think "This is Spinal Tap" would have to be my favorite movie of all time.

Television:

It's a rare occasion for me to sit down and watch the tube. If I had to pick some favorite shows, though, they'd have to be the X-files, King of the Hill, Drew Carey, Seinfeld, CSI, the Wheel, Jeopardy, old campy 80's cartoons and sitcoms, old re-runs like Knight Rider and Magnum P.I., and anything with Colin Mochrie or Ryan Stiles.

Books:

I enjoy reading, even if I can't seem to find the time to sit down and do it! Books I seem to always go back and read snippets of: the Bible, The Working Stiff's Manifesto by Iain Levison, The Big Bamboo by Tim Dorsey, Hammer of the Gods by Stephen Davis. I'm currently reading A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, one-man-bands, rich people, non faux-Christians, Simon and Alfonso Freakin' Garcia, creative people, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, Milt Hinton, John Paul Jones, James Hetfield, George Carlin, Fred Rogers, Frank Oz, etc.
