Constant Walker on HubPages
I like to write and I like to build websites. That's what's so great about HubPages, it's like building a whole bunch of mini websites. Very fun!
At 17 years old (I looked about 12), I was awarded a music scholarship to the University of Oregon, but dropped out after two months to go on the road as a professional musician - drummer. It was the only thing I'd ever wanted to do. I hated school while I was forced to be there, but later discovered that I really enjoyed the simple act of learning and enrolled in South Bay Business College, then Long Beach Edison Tech, where I was on the Dean's list. I attended these schools not for a new career option, but simply to "learn new stuff."
Eleven years ago (as of 2008), at age 40, I retired from music as a living. I got sick of bars and the road. Since then, I've had numerous articles and letters in various local papers and a past bi-weekly column, titled Grey Matters, in a Forest Grove newspaper.
When I'm not working or exercising, I'm a hopeless computer geek. I actually LIKE Windows Vista. I love RTS (RealTimeStrategy) computer games, sending and answering email (typically with family) and exploring the net or my own computer workings. I'm a media-junkie and a very happy bachelor.
I love the music I grew up with but listen to new rock (I don't understand those over 30s or 40s who only listen to oldies). The stations I listen to at work are KNRQ (90s alternative and new rock) and KWAX (local access, classical). I like TV (especially the History Channel), movies, reading, writing, audio books (while walking to and from work), unusual music (like Deep Forest or gothic classical), cooking and numerous other things I can't think of at the moment... but you get the idea.
What I'm listening to:
-Trans-Siberian Orchestra (the first 3 Christmas discs, which I downloaded and burned onto a single disc)
-Jethro Tull: Absolute Greatest Hits (except I had to add "Cross-Eyed Mary")
-Conan the Barbarian: The Complete Movie Soundtrack
-Evanescence: Live! Anywhere but Home (CD/DVD set)
