Hi, I'm a tall thin kid come moved from Paris France to Newport Beach, California. No, I haven't seen the movie Orange County yet. ;). Yes, I'm bilingual. And, I'm in Advanced Placement Spanish, so I'm learning a third language. Spanish is so much fun...
Well, I'm your average band geek. Well, not really, I don't go around quoting H. Robert Reynolds all the time, but I play the sax and I'm learning the clarinet. I've played piano for 11 years, and jazz is my life. I'd just like to say that American Pie doesn't know CRAP about Music Camps. Just had to get that off my mind.
Between playing my video games, practicing jazz, and trying to get into UCLA, I don't have much time to do much. Since I turn my computer on almost always to play games and check my emails, if I have to get off for 1/2 hour (which happens often), my computer has to sit there idle. Well, not anymore.
I like to write music. I got a notation program that lets me write notes in so I can jot down tunes a lot quicker than pencil and paper. I hope to put together a band and play a few of my tunes for my senior project, which is next year so I've got time. I just want to do that to hear a High School band actually sound like something that's not wanna-be-hard-rock noisemaking. Seriously, all the bands some of my friends put together sound the same. The only different thing I hear everyonce in a while is when they sing/yell something they didn't write, which I think is lame. I hope to be the first band I hear made of high school kids playing good jazz. Yes, I'm a jazz freak.
Video games are my second life. I like to play MechWarrior4 with a bunch of online friends of mine. We all have microphones so we can communicate during games when we play against other teams. It's very effective. We are a force to be feared. I also like Baldur's Gate II. THAT, is a good RPG. Unlike all my stupid friends who play Diablo II all the time. I played that for a while, and got bored of the repitition. Baldur's Gate blows Diablo out of the water.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1: Well, yes, I think there is intelligent life out there, but what I don't think is that it will seem like it to us. Who says those life forms will be made of solid? If you think we're gonna land on some planet with land and water like Earth and find bipedal if weird-looking friends come up to us and wave, I think you've seen too much of Mars Attacks. I think ET could turn out to be different. We might find microscopic intelligent life, but how would we communicate with it? And we mind find "aliens" so big that there would be no way to communicate. That is of course, when we figure out a way to get ourselves out there...
2: Haven't we already sent one? With a gold plate that has a man and a woman engraved on it? Oh well.
Yeah, I think sending a beacon might be worth a try, but if we send a signal, and they manage to decode it, how will they understand it? And what if they haven't developped technology for receiving radio waves yet? Or worse, maybe radio waves are as strong for them as radioactive waves are strong for us. That would end our conversation real quick, wouldn't it? I think we should do it, but not hope too much from it.
3: I think SETI is a great idea, and if anyone is skeptical, at least help them do it to keep your computer busy analysing data that will disprove us if there really isn't life out there. Whether you are skeptical or not, in either case, we will be sure, and one of us will be proven right. |
