OneArmedScissor Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Greeting!I've been reading these forums for a few months now, and I must say, I enjoy them alittle too much! I sometimes find myself spending too much time reading the various fascinating threads instead of doing my reading for school. I attend Austin College in Sherman, TX, USA. I'm currently a freshman and I've just started my 2nd semister. I also just turned 19 (Jan. 12th). So... I guess I'm getting pretty old now ;) My Interests:Chess (I have a passion for this game. If anyone knows anything about the game or people of the game, my favorite players are Mikhail Tal, Tigran V. Petrosian, Bobby Fischer, Anatoli Karpov, Vladimir Kramnik, Veselin Topalov, Judit Polgar, Yasser Seirawan and many more) Nano TechnologiesCosmologyLinguisticsPhilosophyComputersSkateboardingSnowboardingPaintballSoccer (Futbol, Fußbol)PartyingGirlsGuitarsMusicand lots more! I'm fascinated by the world and universe around me. I have the curiousity of a young child. This sometimes can be a bad thing though. ;) Thanks! Quote

Fishteacher73 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Welcome, from a fellow Teaxan. Hope you find some good discussion. Does your name imply you are an At the Drive In fan? Quote
OneArmedScissor Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 Yes. I've been a big At The Drive-In fan for many years now.I remember buy the Vaya EP back in middle school and being obsessed with it for many months.But I now love The Mars Volta. They're simply amazing. There is no other way to put it.And you all should check out their new album, Frances The Mute. It's awesome. Quote
Fishteacher73 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 If you like complex musical thoery...Fugazi or Hot Water Music....it doesnt get any better. Quote
OneArmedScissor Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 Fugazi bores me.You should check out Explosions in the Sky. Good music from Austin! Also, I love Iron & Wine. Sam Bean is a genius. Quote
