Hello! So you want to know a little about me?
I am a: Optimistic-realist, Curious-adventurer, addict to information, and a music enthusiast.
My love for music stems from a very similar routine many other youngsters go through to find meaning in life. Whether you find it through the harmonic vibrations that so easily move you or the upfront lyrics that make you feel like someone knows you and what your going through. Highschool is the time where people can draw identities from a music genre and let these genres influence who they are today. Well I am no different.
The first band who influenced who I am today and had the most profound affect on my younger days was TOOL. The feel of safisticated rock (polyrhythmic) with the intelligent-near-anarchist lyrics dealing with spirituality and the cynicism that is our lives. I became a teen that was curiously-skeptic but still wanted to believe there’s more.
After being hypnotized by Danny Carey (the drummer from Tool), I began playing percussion and joined a couple of garage bands. The bands were a spectrum of Nirvana-like grunge bands to a pop-punk ska bands and through it all I learned that I love Ridiculousness (think the band ‘Chariot’ with all the feedback). If people have fun and have the balls to be completely convicted in what they do, then I enjoy it and respect that. Do I think Lil’ Wayne is right for embelshing his ego and ‘doing what ever the F*ck he wants’? Most likely not but I love how he is making money for having a crazy life!
So now that I have grown up somewhat, I now live in Cleveland, Ohio. Best known for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of fame and the worst Football team in the NFL. I now substitute the Ridiculousness that I love in music for the Ridiculousness in Finance :). I still hold music to be my savior every day and I hope to use this blog to expand my thinking on how different forms of art can convey powerful emotions and thoughts.
