More About Me

I've been playing guitar for 6 years now, and own an ESP LTD Viper-407, a similar model to what Akiya from Kagrra plays. Never took lessons, just learned by ear, and I think I've done fairly well. Currently looking for a band, but can't seem to find many people around my area. Maybe it's just bad luck. Currently attending college. Not much else I care to say.


Things I Hate

Waking up early in the morning. TV in general. The state of mainstream music in America. MTV. Insects. Computer problems. Korean MMO game design. Little things slowly screwing up your vibe when you're "in the zone." People who think they're witty. People who think they're too cool to care. People who think they know everything. People who are close minded. People who only care about "ass n titties." People who are constantly trying to prove something. ...People.


Things I Like

Friends. Games. Music. Guitar. Alcohol. Silence. Night time. Sunsets. The beach. Fresh air. Wrapping myself in my blankets on a cold day. Setsumi. My room. My computer. Italian food. The colors grey, white, and blue. Beautiful scenery. People who aren't constantly trying to prove something.

I do admit I really have a thing for Japanese rock. It's just, as someone who plays guitar, I find the music to be alot more vibrant than anything I've heard come from America in the past few years. I've heard songs I do like, but I just can't shake the opinion that musically, so much of it sounds flat. Kagrra is my favorite band at the moment, and I think they're an excellent example of what makes J-Rock different. SID is also another example, with their very stylish sound. I simply haven't heard anything from America sound as good.

And of course I do have a soft spot for instrumentals and piano songs. Whether or not it's because playing through it gave the soundtrack kind of a special meaning to me, I really have to say Narcissu has a beautiful soundtrack.

Thanks for reading. This is less of a public profile than something I just did one night for my own amusement, but whatever. You can try to reach me on MSN if you'd like, but I rarely ever log on.
