ERAVE'S PROFILE

Alright, so the community is fleshing out a bit. It's time we introduced ourselves. No we're not role playing here, I want the REAL you. Yea, that guy sitting in front of the computer. What are you like? What's the stuff you do? This ain't your everyday MYSpace quiz, so make it interesting.

I'll start.

My names Tyler I am 20 and I am currently living in Houston, Texas. I go to college in Denton, Texas (30 miles north of Dallas) attending the University of North Texas. I spent my first year as a musicial composition major, but am changing into a jazz performance/composition major next semester. My major hobby is music. I play the trumpet and have for many years. I've played in orchestras, marching bands, pep bands, big bands, small jazz groups, rock groups, and cover bands. I've also written in various styles including jazz, pop, rock, funk, classical, and game styles. I'd like to consider myself a versatile musician and the goal is to teach, write, and play (basically everything I can) to survive in the "real world."

When it comes to videogames I prefer RPGs and party type multiplayer games such as Smash Bros, Mario Kart, or Goldeneye (Sorry, No Halo). My favorite RPG is Final Fantasy 7. Yes I am a fanboy. But no my screenname was never SephirothDarkCloud167.

I likes to be active when a bunch of friends are together. Common activities include softball and basketball. I like to jam with all types of musicians and instruments. Jam Sessions are fun, yo.

I think I am a pretty cool guy. I am totally out of the loop of pop culture. I like good music, I am decently interesting, and not too concerned with outer appearance (But that doesn't matter cause I'm HAWT). I would like to say I am social and hang with interesting and normal people and my internet or gaming habits were never too extreme to get in the way. No reason you can't have both, eh? I wouldn't consider myself a "hardcore" gamer, but I do enjoy playing on occasion.

Now how about you guys?

I would like to say I can write a wide assortment of music styles (Check out Last Legend or Channel Changer for some examples), but I would say Jazz is where my true love for music lies. Here are some of my jazz arrangements. They are all for the "BIG BAND" ensemble which includes 5 trumpets, 5 trombones, 5 saxophones, drums, piano, bass, and guitar. Enjoy.

Game I Haven't Beaten:

Xenogears - I've tried many times, but I always lose interest and quit midway. One time I got to this long tower dungeon and the platformer elements frustrated me to no end so I quit.

Earthbound - I'm at the 7th sanctuary. Lost motivation, but I'd like to finish at some time.

Final Fantasy 12 - I'm stuck at this one part. I didn't have a PS2 for a whole semester of college as well, so this prevented me from playing.

Final Fantasy - I think I beat the first boss. But I got bored at quit.

Secret of Mana - Started to play it once but got bored.

Now go!
