I like to write and I like to build websites. That's what's so great about HubPages, it's like building a whole bunch of mini websites. Very fun!
At 17 years old (I looked about 12), I was awarded a music scholarship to the University of Oregon, but dropped out after two months to go on the road as a professional musician - drummer. It was the only thing I'd ever wanted to do. I hated school while I was forced to be there, but later discovered that I really enjoyed the simple act of learning and enrolled in South Bay Business College, then Long Beach Edison Tech, where I was on the Dean's list. I attended these schools not for a new career option, but simply to "learn new stuff."
Eleven years ago (as of 2008), at age 40, I retired from music as a living. I got sick of bars and sick of being on the road. I found myself longing for corny things like "Routine" and "Stability" and I was very fed up with the general mentality of being a nightclub musician.
Since then, I've had numerous articles and letters in various local papers and a past bi-weekly column, titled Grey Matters, in a Forest Grove newspaper.
When I'm not working or exercising, I'm a hopeless computer geek. I actually LIKE Windows Vista. I love RTS (RealTimeStrategy) and RPG (Role Playing Games) computer games, sending and answering email (typically with family) and exploring the net or my own computer workings. I'm a media-junkie and a very happy bachelor.
I love the music I grew up with but listen to new rock. I've never been one of those over 30s or 40s (or 50s!) who only listens to oldies - there's always good music and talent emerging and I want to hear it. The stations I typically listen to are KNRQ (90s alternative and new rock) and KWAX (local access, classical). I like TV (especially the History Channel and Discovery Channel), movies, reading, writing, audio books (while walking), unusual music (like Deep Forest and Gothic classical), cooking and numerous other things I can't think of at the moment... but you get the idea.

I guess I'll start reading your hubs when I'm not so swamped learning how to untangle the web of confusion being trapped in the net. After 4 weeks here, I still feel that way. Thanks in finding my hub.
