More About Me
- Nationality: I live on Earth
- Religion: The Church of Stop Shopping
- Heroes: I don't have heroes, and I don't have favorites. Worshiping any one person or thing distracts us from all of the great people and things around us that we could be experiencing to their fullest. Claiming that any such thing as a "best" exists has a detrimental affect on our collective worldliness.

- Expertise: Nutrition, Fitness, Music, Writing, Anthropology, Psychology
- Occupation: Full time honors psychology student

Music
- Favorite Artists: I used to archive thousands of CDs and digital music files into hundreds of artist discographies until I reached a point where it didn't even matter. Since then, I've taught myself most of what there is to know about how music is composed, what it is in terms of a physical explanation, and how to identify and replicate most musical components in a given song. Thus, I no longer pay any attention to the name of any given song, album, or artist that I might be listening to. I give praise to any piece that displays some form of lyrical or compositional intelligence, and I move to anything that makes me want to.

@CEC32 - I spelled it wrong. His name was Horschack! -
@CEC32 - I am a fan of the ABC sitcom Welcome Back Kotter - and so did the actor who played Horscack.
-
@SilentEuphoria33 - Well I go to USF and I previously attended HB Plant High School. I have lots of friends to go or used to go to HCC too. Who do you know? -
I know I know you from somewhere, but I don't know where! -
@stalkdebbie - Right back atchya homie!
-
hey! thanks for the invite. Merry Christmas!!! -
@CEC32 - Sorry! I only use Horschack as a pen name since it was my last name at birth. I was adopted so it's something different now. The only time I've ever heard of anyone else with that last name was on my way out of a doctor's office when the receptionist called back an elderly couple by that na
-
November 14th I like that one -
@Alex_Horschack - What?? You're name is "Horschack" and you've never heard of Welcome Back, Kotter? That's like being named "Homer" and never hearing of "The Simpsons." -
@CEC32 - Never heard of this. Will google.
