Welcome to my profile - it's still under construction. I'll add more stuff later, but for now, here's are the main highlights. I don't like to to write about myself, but this spot wouldn't be terribly interesting were it empty:
I'm a music kind of guy; any music, so long as it's interesting. I'm finding new music and great artists very day through Pandora, which is awesome. There's no such thing as too much good music. I also play the violin, 9 years now, and still going strong. I compose music, mostly classical/Hispanic, as a past-time... No major works yet. So basically, music is my life.
I'm a student at The University of South Florida, majoring in biology, so I'm also a geeky kind of guy - but one who likes being out in nature, like at sea fishing and marveling at the majesties of nature. I'm also interested in most other branches of science - I'm the kind of guy who always answers the random, trivial scientific questions people might ask in conversation.
I'm a retiring gamer - I love video games (Xbox 360, PC, Wii), still play them every so often, but school is killing the gamer in me by taking up all my time. I'm losing my Halo 2/3 1137 pwning skillz, but I can still rock out with Guitar Hero.
If you didn't know me and you met me somewhere, you'd think I'm a shy guy, but I'm not. I'm an introvert - slight difference being I enjoy going out with friends and being around people and such, but only in moderation. I tend to keep to myself and only contribute when I feel I have something to contribute - so some people call me a quiet guy.
Finally, I have crazy afro-Cuban-cave-man hair, though it's not reflected in my picture. I don't know why I'm admitting that. Mostly filling empty space.

It's not often I'm happy to be bored, but today my boredom lead to a great things. I normally enjoy my ethics class, despite it being late in the afternoon, but today the idea of sitting through an hour and 15 minutes of Kant and Nagel was nearly coma-inducing - …

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoy what we do. Keep an eye out, the album will emerge from darkness in the early months of 2008, and then you'll really have something to bite into.
Peace
