Music, computers and psychology Music : I've been playing guitar for about 17 years and I know lots of scales and modes, chords and voicings and sometimes I can come up with killer solos and chord progressions. They taught me a lot about music theory, some jazz, and improved my performance at CYMC in two summers. I've been playing piano ever since I was a kid. However It seems that I've had more practice with a guitar. I am also slightly familiar with a couple pieces of music software. Computers : I've been using Windows ever since 1995 and before that we had the ancient floppy disk drive on the very first computer I've ever seen. I'm an amateur computer programmer regardless of reading more than 1000 pages about it and I'm not exaggerating with numbers. Pascal was the very first programming language that I've ever learned which was back in high school after that I tried to take on C++ as a teen and found it very hard to understand at that age. I took an online course at BCOU and learned Visual Basic 6 with a B grade. Could have bin a plus but it wasn't minus. Visual Basic 6 is considered more or less obsolete however easy to learn. They changed it to Visual Basic.net, after that, in 2011 I revisited C++ and then I learned some Java and Python. Somewhere along the way after postponing learning C++ for the first time I learned Csound which is an AUDIO programming language. I only scratched the surface of it in 2006 but got even better with it in 2012. I also want to know ChucK, Perl and Ruby some day and I could go on and on about my appetite for it. Psychology : ...and don't forget about all the spirituality and philosophy that goes with it. Ken Wilber is one of my favorite authors but I could tell you about way more than a few interesting books that I've read. Ken Wilber makes a better philosopher than a psychologist but I think that he and his predecessors stumbled upon something that might be relevant or at least applied to psychology. I distinctly wanted to know what a psychosomatic was and I was interested in gestalts and a bunch of disorders or maybe just traits that I can only guess what they mean. The only psychologist that I'm familiar with is Sigmund Freud however I wanted to know more about Carl Jung.

Funk metal, especially Faith No More and punk electronica, especially Orgy. I claim that I like every genre of music because I don't like the idea of being bias however Western, Country and typical Pop tries my patience sometimes. I'm a genuine Korn fan with a born-again-teenager attitude. Tolerating their music, the only two happy sounding songs that I've witnessed was Word Up and Pop a Pill. Guitar World magazine warned me that their music wasn't gn'a get any happier but I insisted on listening to them anyways. During Grade 12 I wanted to hear some happy Korn and then I discovered funk metal, Faith No More in particular. Funk metal was the happiest sub-genre of metal that I could get me hands on and Faith No More seemed to be the godfathers of the genre. Mike Patton, the most senior lead singer in the band (replacing a homosexual probably seemed like a good idea) has got 5 bands in total and now I think he's taking on 3 at once with his record label, Ipecac, along with the help from a friend. Within that enterprise he would create experimental music and would typically, less than standard, only hire other experimental musicians. I still don't know that much about punk electronica but I also like Mindless Self-Indulgence and Killing Joke. Although Mike Patton is my favorite Maynard James Keenan gets 2nd place and J.P. Anderson gets the 3rd. There's lots of female vocalists that I... like. Alanis Morissette is probably my favorite. Not all of her songs are hits but when she nails one I could just listen to it over and over and over.

Mike Patton, Maynard James Keenan, J.P. Anderson, Ken Wilber, Julia Cameron, And the "anonymous" convey and convene melting pot processing everlasting void... Actually on pragmatism of results we don't really teach eachother skills unless if there's money on the line but we still share ideas, concepts, words of wisdom, food for thought, warnings yada yada yada ect. ect.
