Xbox Live bio:

"In my life, I have been to Mars. I have suffered a 100 year cryosleep, and woke up in 2112. They sent me back in time, and hear I am, same as always. I have 17 College Degrees, and Majored in kick-butt action. My Brotherhood is the toughest of the toughest. We live on the sun. We live to rule."

Band:

I am what I guess you could call a musician by now. I have played the trombone for five years, and am the Principle player of the top band at my high school. I've met and played with Don Lucas, one of the premiere and most renowned trombone players in the country. So far, I've gotten top honors in many competitions such as Solo and Ensemble contests. As of this year, I am what could be considered one of the best trombone players in Texas, which is the most competitive area for musicians. Music is undoubtedly one of the biggest investments in my life thus far, so I can't help to brag. Here are some statistics, in terms of a fraction out of 5 (5/5):

Division 1 Outstanding Ratings on Solos: 5/5 (One solo each year)

Division 1 Oustanding Ratings on Ensembles: 5/5 (One ensemble each year)

All-Region Band Member: 4/5 (All-Region Band try-outs each year)

University of Arkansas Band Camp "Musician of the Year": 2/3(One each year, gone for three years)

Outstanding Performer Awards: 3/5 (One each year at my district)

All-Region Placement: Principle (In all of 1/4 of Area) 

All-Area Placement: 5th Best (In all of North Texas)

All-State Placement: Top 20 (In all of Texas) 

Favorite Games: 

Halo 3

Final Fantasy VII

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal

Pokemon: Gold Version

Each and every one of these games has a significant meaning to me, something that makes me remember them in a way that causes me to think of these as my favorite games of all time.

Most Anticipated Game of The Year:

Halo 4

I'm a huge Halo fan, and anticipate the coming of each new release, whether it be a new game, a book, or something that just adds to the canon. I can't get enough of it! The pending release/start of the Reclaimer Trilogy is going to be awesome. I have full trust in what 343i will do with the franchise and the core mechanics as a whole. It's still gonna be Halo, and it's still gonna be awesome!

I used to do a lot of fanart drawing, and I used to be a huge Yu-Gi-Oh nerd. Naturally, I had to do some fanart of the series. Specifically, Yusei Fudo from the newest series in the franchise:
