Profile: Brent Miedema

Personal background
I am from Indianapolis, and I grew up here in Indiana. I am 31, as of August 2002. I am a guitarist am and currently recording my band's first album in our home studio. This project has been really fulfilling for me in that co-producing
it with my drummer, Shane Ailey, has given me a broader scope of the whole recording process. It has also made me a better musician. Although we are short a bass player, keyboardist, and a decent singer, we are making a lot of progress
and hope to release a three song EP sometime in the spring. The band has no working name, but I'll change this profile to keep you updated!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
It would be arrogant, in my humble opinion, to believe that humans are the only life in the universe. The law of odds tell us that this is true. I believe that such life can only be discovered when humans are united as a whole to strive for
peace, end hunger and poverty, and only when we see that WAR IS USELESS. If life
were discovered at that point, we would be mentally equipped to deal with whatever we encountered, because maturity breeds wisdom (not something many political leaders have these days).
I believe that we should be sending out a beacon, and it should contain such information as some of our most moving music, poems, and audio works of art. Also, some of the different religious beliefs (mono and polytheism for example) and some mythology. These things are representative of our souls, and come from inside us, so they are truly telling of who we are as a race.
I hope I discover a star or some astral body. I would love for students for years to come to stumble over trying to spell my last name. ha! ha! ha!
Thank you,
