.My Music.

'My mix of music spins all day, everyday.'

I listen to a little bit of every genre of music, so my music tastes are quite versatile. And when I say 'every genre', I mean exactly that. I can tolerate some Country, some Reggaeton, even Opera. From Rap to Techno, and R&B to Classical, I love music. It's one of the few things that help me get through my day, and I don't know how I could possibly live w/o it.

In spite of my random music tastes, I recently discovered that Pop is my favorite genre. I define Pop as a genre that has a catchy beat/tune, something that gets stuck in your head easily. Something that gets you to bob your head, something that makes you want to sing or hum along. The way I see it, there's a little bit of Pop in every song out there. Yes, the 'Pop' genre has changed through the decades, but I can safely say that I like the change.

If you were to get a hold of my iPod (Blue Nano Chromatic, 8gig), you'd find that it contains various songs from so many different genres. I can guarantee that you can find at least one song that you'd like. So let's swap music; I'm always looking for new songs. Tell me some songs you don't think I've heard yet, and I'll suggest some back at ya.

.My Friends.

'My friends are better than yours, so stick that in your juice box and suck it.'

My friends are literally the people that I can never get enough of. I love my friends so much, and I've no idea what I'd do w/o them. I cherish the time I spend w/ each and every one of them. They're my anti-drug, and I know I can always count on them to lift me up when I'm down.

When you first meet me, I'd come off as somewhat shy and conservative... but once you get to know me better, and as we become closer as friends, you'll find out that I can get pretty crazy. I believe my close friends know what I'm talking about, lmao. It takes a lot to gain my trust, but I'm sure happy w/ the select few I've come to know and love. (Yes, I believe in having more than one best friend.)

Let's not forget the fricken AMAZING friends I've made over the internet as well. Although I don't know them as well as I know my close friends, I still feel somewhat of a bond/connection. I love each and every one of them, and I love how they make my time online a blast.

All in all, if you'd like to make a new friend, I'm here for you. Just keep in mind that I'm not the type of guy who just starts up a convo by saying, 'Hi! How are you?' and then nothing after that. I really find those kinds of 'conversations' to be an incredible waste of my time and yours. I like keeping conversations going. Other than that, I'm pretty easy to get along w/.

Get to know me more.
You might like it.

Most Successful Thread

The Give-a-Gift thread is the most successful thread I've ever made in my years as a Gaia member... I wouldn't have it any other way. The very first GaG thread originated from Gaia's 6th Annual Ball event. That morning, I was thinking of some kind of thread that would be a hit... a place where users would have fun, a place that would keep moving on and on. Then I remembered from Gaia's previous Annual Ball events, there were many gift-giving threads, so I decided to give it a go. Literally a couple minutes after my first GaG thread officially opened, other gift-giving threads started opening and popping up. I was lucky to open my thread at the right time because mine was the first gift-giving thread in the 6th Annual Ball. This was probably why the original GaG thread was such a success. I remember it moving at lightning speed; as soon as I posted something, 5 pages would have flown by. I would need to go back that many pages JUST to see what I posted, and to see what others were posting @ me as well, and by the time I replied, another handful of pages had flown by. I don't recall how I kept up with such an overwhelmingly fast thread, but I fell in love with it. (And I'm sure all of the senior oldbie veterans did as well)

As the 6th Annual Ball came to a close, I remade the Give-a-Gift thread at the request of many of the people who have posted that epic weekend. It moved along considerably well, even with the Annual Ball done and over with. I saw many familiar faces from the original thread, and was extremely happy that they decided to come to the new one and post. As time progressed, there was some problems that caused an uproar in the thread, so we were forced to move yet again.

Revived again, the current GaG thread still thrives on. Although there are only a few veterans from the original thread posting, I still love it. I've met amazing people in the thread, people that I would never have imagined meeting if I hadn't made Give-a-Gift in the first place. I'm grateful for all the help they've given me, and they've made my time online quite an exhilarating experience. Without them, GaG would be NOTHING; no posts, no activity, NOTHING. Sure, I may have created an epic thread, but I was merely lucky at the time, and the name 'Give-a-Gift' would mean NOTHING without the help of its members.
