Hometown: Winterpark, Orlando!
Birthday (sign?): November 12th, 2009. Scorpio!! (I've always loved the way that sounded.. Kinded like some superhero name.. SCORPIO!! -.. Moving on..)
Age: Sixteen
Sex: Did you hear me? I'm only sixteen.. That's just not right.. -cough- Male =)

Education: Just finished my sophomore year in high school! Woo!
Favorite Book(s): Learning How to Drown

Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) Wow.. There's a whole lot in this area.. I guess.. Mainly what I want to do is have the ability to inspire people through Poi, through movement, through things they hadn't seen before.. It's so beautiful how the human body can be controlled to manipulation objects in such a unique way, and to do so to give people a drive to do what they love, an inspiration is just.. That's just something I want to be capable of. That inspiration.

Okay, so! If you'd like to see some of my Poi pictures, get to know more about me, and just like to have conversation, you should add me on Facebook! Here's the link! =)

With happiness,
John
P.S. Happy spinning, everyone =)

Hey there, John. Welcome to HoP!
The Shins do a great live gig... not quite as good as Explosions in the Sky or Old Crow Medicine Show.
Apparently at some shows The Shins were singing Breathe by Pink Floyd!
Sad to have missed that, should have shouted it for the encore.

For sure! I adore The Shins live. I saw them once and just had a great time. Unfortunately didnn't hear 'breathe' by Pink Floyd! =( Would've been awesome hearing them do a Pink Floyd cover! Sad I missed it now! I'll catch it next time! It's great meeting you =)

Mother Nature, really nice link! Loved hearing that. Wasn't that bad either! I was worried as I have heard many covers of Floyd that never really were great, but this was great =D
Aston, psht, squirrels? Nothing against my +5 strength, +10 defense, +20 to HP chain mail armor! Nice meeting you, man.

Aaaahahaha. Geek! Ex/current WoW player or similar?
I may or may not have had an epic mage and a half epic shaman (60)
Syd Barrett Floyd is the best stuff. Waters only drew off Syd... you can tell that if you listen to Dark Side and then The Wall... Look at the influences behind the wall and you'll see what I mean about Water's contribution... the rest is Dave Gilmore and Rick Wright... which is why the two albums sound so similar.

Totally true about the Floyd. I understand exactly what you're saying. And as far as the.. -cough- WoW playing.. I played Diablo, which is from the same makers. And I played it for about four years, til about two years ago where I had to quit. I had a level 97 Paladin with a 50k damage FoH. He used a FoH stick, Griffon's eye, Mara's, two SoJ's, eth Sand Treks, faceted Zak Shield with 2 to offensive auras and skills, and I changed his armor from CoH, Nigma, or glitched 4 faceted Ormus Robe. If you have never played Diablo, this all means nothing to you.. Lol.. It sucked my social life like some sort of evil... Doomy.. Death leech.. But we're over that! Lol

John

I was happy just finishing the game.
