Now I know... and knowing is half the battle.

About Me

My name is Jonathan. I work at UPS part time for now. This gives me time to play music and finish my degree at GMU. I am studying Government and International Politics. I like that stuff, but it is not my true passion. I am really just making sure I have something to fall back on. Music is what I love. I would like to eventually set up a studio with my brother and make music full time. I also want my band Absolute Vengeance to be able to tour, spread our music to others, and acheive some success.
In my spare time I like to listen to music (especially metal and hardcore punk) and play the guitar. When I am motivated I sit around and practice my guitar in hopes that I will eventually become a shred master. Playing the guitar and music in general is pretty much what my life revolves around. I'm pretty good at guitar repair work as well. I also lift weights and work out everyday. I am a vegetarian and I like to cook and eat healthy. I used to skate for a little while, but I separated my shoulder a few years back and I have not really gotten back into it. I like to read and watch movies; mainly horror and comedies. I also llike to hang out with friends, drink a little, and party.
I'm in a Metal band called . We are a band that combines many elements of metal, especially thrash, power, and melodic death metal.
